I don't know whether this was aimed at me, but I didn't suggest that QF had an exemption. QF doesn't have to spray before arrival in Australia, because AIUI it does the periodic deep treatment permitted by the first option, which I recall being described as sealing the aircraft and letting off permethrin bombs inside it so that the insecticide soaks into all the fabrics and soft furnishings. I did, though, think that it was a bit of an exaggeration to describe flying on a QF aircraft as a bit like sitting in a permethrin bath.
