Ambicide™ provides a flexible solution for hatchery surfaces, equipment, vehicles, and egg dipping or spray disinfection at low temperatures and in the presence of organic challenge.
Ambicide’s non-staining, non-tainting dual action formulation provides a broad spectrum of activity against viruses, bacteria, fungi and spores. Its twin chain quaternary ammonium and tertiary compounds makes it the ideal solution for use in the disinfection of vehicles transporting food grade grain, and on food contact surfaces.
General Properties:
Dual action formulation with twin chain quaternary
Ammonium and tertiary alkylamine compounds
Broad spectrum of activity
Specifically developed for use in the hatchery and food processing environments
Can be applied as a foam, spray or egg dip
Can be used through pressure washers and spraying equipment
Non staining and non-tainting
pH 7.9
Composition:
A synergistic and unique blend of tertiary alkylamine and a twin chain quaternary ammonium compound with added foam booster to provide excellent foaming characteristics.
Mode of Action:
Ambicide™ works by disrupting the cytoplasmic membrane, resulting in loss of vital intracellular constituents and precipitation of cell contents, leading to cell death.
How to use
Instructions for Use:
Surface Disinfection:
The level of disease-causing organisms present after basic cleaning can remain high enough to offer a serious disease challenge. Using a disinfectant independently proven effective against viruses, bacteria, fungi and spores, such as Ambicide™, is essential.
Spraying:
Manually prepare a solution between 0.5 - 1% (1:200 - 1:100 dilution) of Ambicide™ or calibrate your dosing equipment to achieve the required dilution. Using either a knapsack sprayer or pressure washer on a low pressure setting, spray the disinfectant solution on to pre-cleaned surfaces at an application rate of 300ml/m².
Foaming:
Manually prepare a 2% (1:50 dilution) solution of Ambicide™ or calibrate your dosing equipment to achieve the required dilution. Using a pressure washer with a foaming lance apply Ambicide™ disinfectant solution to pre-cleaned surfaces at an application rate of 250ml/m².
Egg Disinfection - Setters and Eggs Stores Containing Eggs:
Manually prepare a 1% (1:100 dilution) solution of Ambicide™ or calibrate your dosing equipment to achieve the required dilution. Using either a mechanical mist/cold fog generator, knapsack sprayer or pressure washer on a fine mist setting, apply Ambicide™ disinfectant solution for a period of 5-10 seconds per 3m3 to wet the surface of the egg or equipment.
Egg Disinfectant Dip:
Manually prepare a 1% (1:100 dilution) solution of Ambicide™ using warm water (38-41ºC) in a suitable container and dip hatching eggs for 2-3 minutes prior to placement in the hatching baskets.Vehicle Disinfection:Manually prepare a 1% (1:100 dilution) solution of Ambicide™ or calibrate your dosing equipment to achieve the required dilution. Using either a pressure washer or knapsack sprayer on a fine mist setting, apply the disinfectant solution to all surfaces of the vehicle including; wheel arches, mudguards and any exposed chassis.

Ambicide 20lt FAQs
What is Ambicide and how does it work?
Ambicide is a disinfectant with a dual mechanism, featuring twin-chain quaternary ammonium compounds alongside tertiary alkylamines. It functions by breaking down microbial cell membranes, leading to leakage and cell death, making it effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.
What pathogens is Ambicide effective against?
It provides wide-ranging effectiveness against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and spores, making it suitable for biosecurity zones with high risk, like hatcheries, egg-processing plants, and grain transport sanitation.
How should Ambicide be applied?
Surface/Spray Disinfection: Use a 0.5–1% dilution (1:200–1:100), applied via low-pressure sprayer at ~300 mL/m²
Foam Application: Use 2% dilution (1:50) delivered via a foaming lance at ~250 mL/m²
Egg Disinfection: Apply a 1% dilution, misting setters and egg areas with ~40 mL/m³ or dipping eggs for 2–3 minutes
Is Ambicide safe to use—does it leave stains or affect surfaces or eggs in any way?
Yes. It is non-staining and non-tainting, with a neutral pH (~7.9), making it safe for use on food contact surfaces, eggs, equipment, vehicles, and other sensitive surfaces.
