Wildlife & Rodent Bio-Hazard Cleanup

Are you suspecting that you have a rodent or another type of animal living inside your home? Have you discovered small animal droppings in your kitchen, attic, garage, crawl space, or other areas?

Finding evidence of wildlife inside your home can be unsettling. While removing the animal is important, cleaning and sanitizing the affected area is an equally important part of resolving the problem.

Signs You May Have an Animal Living in Your Home

Wildlife and rodents can hide in areas that are difficult to see, including attics, crawl spaces, wall voids, garages, and beneath insulation.

Common signs of animal activity include:

• Droppings or urine stains
• Unusual odors
• Scratching or movement sounds
• Damaged insulation
• Chewed wiring or building materials
• Nesting materials
• Grease or rub marks around entry points
• Flies or other insects around contaminated areas

Animal droppings are often one of the first signs homeowners discover.

Why Animal Waste Shouldn’t Be Ignored

Animal feces and urine can contaminate surfaces and insulation and may contribute to unpleasant odors and unsanitary conditions. Simply sweeping or vacuuming droppings can also spread contaminated dust into the air.

That is why areas affected by wildlife or rodents should be handled carefully and properly cleaned.

What Is Bio-Hazard Cleanup?

Wildlife bio-hazard cleanup focuses on safely removing contaminated materials and cleaning areas affected by animal waste, nesting materials, and other biological contamination.

Depending on the situation, cleanup may involve:

• Identifying the affected areas
• Removing animal waste and nesting materials
• Removing contaminated or damaged materials when necessary
• Cleaning and disinfecting affected surfaces
• Addressing contaminated insulation
• Treating persistent odors
• Identifying potential entry points that allowed the animal inside

The appropriate cleanup process depends on the type and extent of contamination.

Wildlife Removal and Cleanup Go Hand in Hand

Cleaning an attic or crawl space without addressing the animal problem can leave you with the same issue again. Wildlife should be removed and potential entry points addressed before completing the cleanup whenever possible.
