Bat infestation cleanup

Unfortunately, if you have dealt with bats on your property, once the bats are gone, you will have to decide how best to clear up the mess and damage caused. This is a complex task – bat feces can cause severe damage to your building and may harm your health. Histoplasma fungus can grow in a build-up of guano, where the guano is 3 inches deep or more. When the guano is disturbed, the spores spread throughout the air. If the spores are inhaled, they can cause Histoplasmosis respiratory disease, which leads to chronic health problems for some patients. Bat urine can cause staining, which is not only unsightly and may have a foul odor but can also erode the structure of your building. In addition, there may be bat mites present- these tiny parasites are often mistaken for bed bugs. Bat mites (also known as bat bugs) live off bats, so if left in your home after a bat removal, they may move on to pets or humans. Therefore your house may require chemical treatment to eradicate bat mites.

Bat guano cleanup

When bat guano accumulates and mixes with urine, it causes incredible amounts of damage to the building around it. Bats defecate up to 30 times a day. Therefore, in the aftermath of a bat infestation, there will be a large amount of harmful waste. The mixture of guano and urine can seep through an attic floor and into the ceiling below, ruining insulation and spreading through the sheetrock and chipboard. As bat urine is highly acidic, it will erode even strong materials and has occasionally caused buildings to collapse completely. For these reasons, removing guano is essential to protect your building from irreversible damage. However, as mentioned, bat guano may carry spores causing Histoplasmosis, so it must be dealt with cautiously.

Get Bats Out Attic Cleanup uses expert methods and equipment to clean up this hazardous waste in a way that will restore your building and limit the spread of harmful spores. We wear full PPE and HEPA-equipped respirators and use double heavy-duty plastic bags to collect the waste before transferring it to secure containers for disposal. We also use industrial vacuums with HEPA filters, specially designed to remove contaminated material and trap contaminants so they don’t get re-released into the air. Once the waste is gone, we seal off the area and use antifungal disinfectant to kill any Histoplasma spores completely.

Raccoon feces cleanup

Raccoons are the main host of a harmful roundworm called Baylisascaris procyonis. This is contracted through the ingestion of eggs passed in raccoon feces. Children are more at risk of  getting infected by putting their hands in their mouths after touching dirt. Humans infected with Baylisascaris procyonis can suffer serious symptoms, including nausea, loss of muscle control, liver enlargement, loss of coordination, blindness, and coma. No medication has been found completely effective in fighting this infection. Therefore it is vital to reduce the risks of contact with raccoon feces and to wear PPE, such as gloves and a respirator when clearing up raccoon feces.

Rodent infestation cleanup

A rodent infestation presents a high risk of damage to your property, but in addition, contact with rodents can cause many diseases, including Heptovirus, Leptospirosis, and Rat-Bite Fever, to name a few. Sadly, the symptoms caused by these diseases can be severe and may be fatal. These diseases can be contracted through direct contact with rodents, including with their urine or droppings, or breathing in air contaminated by rodents’ urine or droppings.

If you have had a rodent infestation, Get Bats Out Attic Cleanup can provide safe removal and cleanup of your attic. We will thoroughly disinfect the air and use our air scrubber to remove contaminants. We can also inspect your property and seal up any holes that are potential rodent entry points. Rodents can use even tiny holes to gain entry – for instance, mice can squeeze through a gap the width of a pencil! We have the expertise to ensure your property is rodent-proof, so you don’t need to worry about a re-infestation.

Bird damage restoration

However, fungi such as Cryptococcosis and Histoplasma can grow in accumulations of bird droppings; when the droppings are disrupted, fungal spores are spread into the air. When inhaled, these can cause serious respiratory infections that occasionally are fatal.

Air scrubbing & remediation

As previously mentioned, if you have dealt with an infestation of bats, raccoons, birds, or other rodents in your property, there is a risk of contracting various harmful diseases from contact with droppings, urine, or from contaminated air.

Even after guano or feces cleanup and fungicide / disinfecting treatments, there is a likelihood that harmful spores are still present in the air. Properties requiring mold remediation face the same issue. Even after the mold is cleaned up, mold spores will still be present in the air, which can cause mold to grow again and harm health.

For properties damaged by fire, the smoke particles that spread throughout the home are incredibly harmful to health and should be removed before the house is inhabited again.

Get Bats Out Attic Cleanup uses high-quality air scrubbing machines for thorough histoplasmosis, mold, and smoke remediation. Air scrubbers draw in air, which travels through the machine before it is pumped out again. There are several filters inside the air scrubber which trap contaminants. Smoke particles, Histoplasma fungal spores, and mold spores are tiny; they can be around 2 microns in size or smaller. Particles this small will not be removed by standard air purifiers. However, the filters in our air scrubbing machines are highly effective as they can capture particles as small as 0.3 microns!

Air quality testing

We perform pre and post-cleanup air testing to ensure the air is safe. Our technicians take samples of the air in your attic which then will be sent off to a third-party lab and tested for spores such as mold or Histoplasma Capsulatum.

This process can give you the confidence that your attic has been restored to a healthy environment, no longer posing any risks to you and your household.
