A disinfectant having higher safety compared with a case where only hydroxide calcium is used. A disinfectant containing slags is sprayed onto the ground in and around a barn, on the outer edge of a farm or the like (S1). The sprayed granules of the disinfectant are trampled down by a human body or a vehicle to crush or grind the granules (S2). A portion of the crushed or ground product of the disinfectant, which is adhered to the human body, the vehicle or the like that crushed or ground the granules, is transported together with the human body, the vehicle or the like (S3). The deterioration of the disinfection efficacy of the disinfectant can be detected by checking whether or not the disinfectant turns purple with naked eyes (S4). When the deterioration of the disinfection efficacy of the disinfectant is detected, the disinfectant is resprayed (S5).
