Our experienced team is equipped to handle all types of animal waste, from droppings to nesting materials, providing thorough cleanup and disinfection to protect your health and restore your peace of mind.

Critter waste is more than just an eyesore; it can pose serious health risks to you, your family, and even your pets. Animal droppings, urine, and other biological materials can carry diseases, attract pests, and cause damage to your property. Addressing these issues promptly and professionally is crucial to maintaining a safe and healthy living environment.

1. Zoonotic Diseases: Many animals, particularly wildlife like raccoons, bats, and rodents, can carry diseases that are transmissible to humans, known as zoonotic diseases. These can include:

• Hantavirus: Found in the droppings and urine of infected rodents, hantavirus can cause severe respiratory issues and even be fatal if not treated promptly.
• Leptospirosis: A bacterial infection spread through the urine of infected animals, leptospirosis can lead to kidney damage, liver failure, and meningitis.
• Histoplasmosis: A fungal infection associated with bird and bat droppings, histoplasmosis can cause flu-like symptoms and severe lung infections in vulnerable individuals.
• Salmonella: Found in the feces of many animals, including reptiles and birds, salmonella can cause gastrointestinal illness, characterized by severe diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain.

2. Parasites: Animal waste can harbor a variety of parasites, such as fleas, ticks, and worms, which can infest your home and pose risks to both humans and pets. These parasites can transmit diseases like Lyme disease, tapeworms, and other harmful infections.

3. Allergies and Respiratory Issues: The accumulation of animal waste, especially in enclosed spaces like attics or crawl spaces, can lead to poor indoor air quality. The presence of waste particles in the air can trigger allergies, asthma attacks, and other respiratory issues, particularly in children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing conditions.

4. Structural Damage: Animal waste can cause significant damage to your property if left unaddressed. Urine can seep into wood, insulation, and drywall, leading to rot, mold growth, and structural weakening. Nesting materials and droppings can also block vents and gutters, leading to further damage.

At ECOS Environmental & Disaster Restoration, we understand that dealing with animal waste is not just about cleaning up; it’s about restoring safety and comfort to your home. Our comprehensive critter clean-up and animal waste removal services are designed to handle the problem from start to finish, leaving your property clean, sanitized, and free of health hazards.

1. Inspection and Assessment: We begin by conducting a thorough inspection of your property to identify all areas affected by critter waste. This includes attics, basements, crawl spaces, and any other areas where animals may have left droppings, urine, or nesting materials. Our team also assesses the extent of the contamination to determine the most effective cleanup strategy.

2. Safe and Effective Waste Removal: Our trained professionals use specialized equipment and protective gear to safely remove all animal waste and debris from your property. We follow strict protocols to ensure that waste is handled and disposed of properly, minimizing the risk of disease transmission and contamination. This process includes the careful removal of droppings, urine-soaked materials, and any other animal-related debris.

3. Deep Cleaning and Disinfection: After the waste removal, we thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected areas to eliminate any remaining pathogens or parasites. We use industry-grade disinfectants that are effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other harmful microorganisms. Our goal is to ensure that your property is not only clean but also safe from any lingering health hazards.

4. Odor Removal: Animal waste often leaves behind strong, unpleasant odors that can linger long after the waste is removed. We employ advanced deodorization techniques to neutralize these odors, restoring a fresh and clean environment to your home or business. This step is crucial in preventing animals from being attracted back to the area by lingering smells.

5. Damage Repair and Restoration: If animal waste has caused damage to your property, we provide repair and restoration services to address any issues. This includes replacing contaminated insulation, repairing structural damage, and sealing entry points to prevent future infestations. Our team works to restore your property to its original condition, ensuring it is safe and secure.

6. Preventive Measures and Recommendations: To prevent future critter problems, we offer advice and solutions to keep animals away from your property. This may include recommendations for sealing potential entry points, installing barriers, and maintaining a clean and debris-free environment. We also offer ongoing monitoring services to ensure that your property remains critter-free.
