Protect Your Family With Animal Waste Removal

Animal excrements are unsightly, smell bad and may cause a number of diseases, which are transmitted by inhaling airborne particles that float in the air during clean-up. Oftentimes, animal wastes from bats, birds and rats can accumulate in your attic and if these wastes are not handled properly, it can pose a number of health hazards. Thankfully, all of this can be prevented by getting a professional company to come and remove this waste.

It is to be expected that the waste from wild animals is harmful to your property. Raccoon urine, pigeon crap, and bat guano are just among the few contaminants that make your house dirty, stinky, unsafe and unattractive. A secondary problem of having infestations of this kind is that your insulation is affected.

Animal excrement or any fecal matter is very infectious (some contain parasites) and cause a substantial risk of illness if not handled appropriately. And let's not forget the rancid stench that comes with the poop. Even if you think you have a handle on the situation, you need to call in a professional because the majority of the animal waste is hidden away beyond your grasp.

The problem is that when animal move into your attic, they also make the ceiling their toilet. Most animals leave behind a great deal of bio hazardous waste in the form of urine, hair, oils, droppings and other excretions. Nobody wants a toxic, foul-smelling build up like this in their homes.

By means of a visual inspection you can gauge the full extent of the problem, and hopefully eradicate the animals responsible. You will have to repair any damage that your home has sustained. In most cases, attic clean-up should be done on the mess that animals leave behind.

The longer the animal stays in your home, the worse the problem is. In terms of the clean-up itself, removing the waste is the next order of business. After the team has removed the damaged areas of insulation, they will quickly clean the area with disinfectant, then make it smell fresh, and in some cases, even lay down new insulation.

These cleaning processes are very thorough, as they aim to get rid of any visible signs of excrement, fix the insulation in the affected area, and disinfect the area. The problem with insulation is that it is made up of absorbent material which acts like a sponge for animal pee, causing immense damage and prompting the need for complete treatment. At the end of the day your home will be left smelling fresh thanks to industrial deodorant.

Squirrel control is an absolute necessity in some areas, particularly in cities. The problem is that these cute critters love to chew on whatever they can find. From the plants, to the furniture, to window screens and doors, these can be common targets.

Don’t be fooled by their appearance - these cute critters can be quite dangerous. They tend to create potential fire risks in unusual places. You cannot solve your squirrel situation by yourself, so rather contact someone who knows what to do.

When choosing an animal waste removal and clean-up company, make sure the company has a national wildlife control training program certification, and not just pest control training. You need to find someone who can deal with the problem thoroughly and effectively, so ask questions, check documents, and do your homework. There is no substitute for experience.
