Surely Quarantine Officers are not doing their job; they hardly ever spray the aircraft on arrival ?
Regular passenger flights do not require the Quarantine Officer to spray the aircraft as soon as it lands, as the aircraft has either undergone a residual insecticide treatment (which can last for up to 3 months) or the aircrew have undertaken an in-flight insecticide procedure. Most airlines opt for one or other of these systems as they mean that their passengers can disembark immediately the flight arrives. From the Quarantine viewpoint both are much more effective ways of disinsecting the aircraft than the on-arrival system.
