SUMMARY: A study has been made of the effectiveness of an Ibcol‐triethylene glycol mixture for either atmospheric or surface disinfection in various types of poultry premises. Only a moderate bactericidal action was obtained with atmospheric disinfection using E. coli as the test organism. With a stronger mixture, a complete kill was obtained for surface disinfection with overnight exposure but the reduction in numbers of the test organisms with 30 min exposure did not exceed 75% in any experiment. Very satisfactory results were obtained with a formalin‐water aerosol.
