I use a Citricidal product which is Grapefruit Seed Extract. I have know about these products for some time now, and I believe them to do wonderful things. I would not hesitate to use them to kill pathogens. They have been known to kill out yeast infections in the body, and are considered a main line product for yeast problems. Just my 2 cents on the subject.
