Animal Feces Removal

When animals like bats, mice, raccoons, and squirrels have resided in an attic for any length of time, they can contaminate the insulation with their urine, feces, parasites and other harmful contaminants. If these disease causing contaminants are left in your home's insulation and aren't probably treated you can create a health hazard in your home even after the animals are removed.

REMOVING ANIMAL FECES IN THE HOME
After all of the animals are removed from the attic/roof area we will go over our plan of removing animal feces from your home. Once we have determined the amount of feces in the home we will remove accessible insulation and waste products from the home. The area will be treated with a decontaminating agent that will not only disinfect the area, but breaks down smaller organic waste. In some larger cases a entire attic clean-out maybe suggested and we will notify you if we feel that this would be in the homeowners best interest.

POTENTIAL HAZARDS
Most hazards related to animal feces are specifically related to the inhalation
of the contaminated materials. However, in some cases where bats have been roosting in homeowners attics, the guano (bat droppings) may even contaminate the air filtration of attic fans and vents, found throughout the attic risking exposure
to homeowners without them even entering the attic crawl spaces. Other forms
of disease that can develop from over exposure to animal feces are Raccoon Roundworm, Histoplasmosis (a respiratory disease caused by bird and bat droppings), Eosinophilic Meningitis (caused by rats), Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (which is caused by rodent saliva, droppings and urine.)
