These teams, comprised of specially-trained employees, also sanitize public <br />facilities such as shelters, post offices and County water spigots. Additionally, the Bug <br />Busters have taken on special assignments to sanitize facilities where known positive <br />cases were identified, such as at schools, medical facilities, and private businesses. <br />“The Bug Busters are one part of our commitment to keeping our community safe from <br />COVID-19,” said Civil Defense Administrator Talmadge Magno. “These County workers <br />get up early every morning to get the job done.” <br />The teams are highly visible, travelling in County of Hawaii vehicles and wearing bright- <br />yellow “Bug Busters” shirts, as they apply disinfecting products via sprayers, specialized <br />fogging devices and other methods. <br />For a map displaying the Bug Busters spraying locations, please visit <br />www.hawaiicounty.gov/bug-busters . <br /> <br /> <br />County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
