The Hidden Dangers of Rodent and Bird Droppings

Feces from rodents like rats, mice, and squirrels, or birds like pigeons, can carry and transmit a multitude of diseases through inhalation, direct contact, or secondary contamination.

Rodent Droppings Can Transmit:

• Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS): A severe, sometimes fatal respiratory disease. Primarily spread by inhaling dust contaminated with rodent urine or droppings.

• Leptospirosis: Can cause liver and kidney damage.

• Salmonellosis: A type of food poisoning.

• Rat-Bite Fever: Contracted through contact with contaminated surfaces.

Bird Droppings Can Transmit:

• Histoplasmosis: A fungal infection that primarily affects the lungs, caused by spores growing in accumulated bird droppings.

• Cryptococcosis: Another serious fungal disease affecting the lungs and nervous system.

• Psittacosis: A bacterial infection that can cause pneumonia.

• E. coli and Salmonella: Often present in bird feces.

Our Safe & Effective Cleanup Process

We follow a rigorous decontamination process designed for your safety and peace of mind.

1. Comprehensive Inspection: We identify the scope of contamination in attics, ducts, insulation, and surfaces. We also look for and advise on sealing entry points to prevent future infestations.

2. Containment & Safety Precautions: We seal off the work area and use negative air machines with HEPA filtration to prevent contaminated particles from spreading to your living spaces. Our technicians wear full PPE, including respirators.

3. Careful Removal of Debris & Feces: We carefully remove all nesting materials, contaminated insulation, and droppings. We never use dry sweeping or methods that create dust.

4. HEPA Vacuuming: We use industrial HEPA vacuums to capture all fine particulate matter and dust, ensuring a deep clean.

5. Antimicrobial Application: All affected surfaces are thoroughly treated with hospital-grade, EPA-registered antimicrobial disinfectants to kill any remaining viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

6. Deodorization: We neutralize any lingering odors to leave your space fresh and clean.

7. Final Disposal: All biohazardous waste is placed in sealed bags and disposed of according to local and federal regulations.

8. Restoration: We can replace contaminated insulation and restore the area to a clean, safe, and functional condition.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Dropping Cleanup

Q1: Is it dangerous to have old, dried rodent droppings in my attic?
A: Yes, it is extremely dangerous. When dried droppings are disturbed, the dust becomes airborne and can be inhaled. This is the primary method of transmission for diseases like Hantavirus and Histoplasmosis. Never attempt to vacuum or sweep dried droppings yourself.

Q2: Can I just replace the insulation myself?
A: While replacing insulation is often necessary, the danger lies in the removal process. Disturbing the contaminated insulation without proper safety measures will release a cloud of hazardous particles throughout your home. Professional containment and removal are non-negotiable for safety.

Q3: How do you prevent the dust from getting everywhere?
A: We use critical barriers to seal the work area and negative air pressure machines with HEPA filters. This system pulls air from the contained space and filters it, ensuring no contaminated dust escapes into your home.

Q4: Will you also help prevent future infestations?
A: Absolutely. A key part of our service is identifying and advising on how to seal entry points. While we are cleanup experts, we can recommend wildlife exclusion specialists or guide you on how to rodent-proof your home after the cleanup is complete.

Q5: Why can’t I just use a regular vacuum with a HEPA filter?
A: Regular household vacuums, even those labeled “HEPA,” are not sealed systems designed for biohazards. They can leak contaminated air during use and are not built for this type of hazardous material, putting you at extreme risk.

Q6: How long does the decontamination process take?
A: The timeline depends on the square footage and severity of the contamination. A standard attic cleanup can typically be completed within 1-2 days.
