Our Comprehensive Cleanup Process
Is animal waste in your attic dangerous?
Animal waste in an attic is a health hazard, not only a smell. Raccoon feces can carry Baylisascaris roundworm eggs, which stay infectious in insulation for years and become airborne once they are disturbed. Bat and bird droppings feed the fungus behind histoplasmosis, a lung infection people catch by breathing contaminated dust. Rodent urine and droppings can spread hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis, and the buildup also draws insects and tells other animals the space is safe to move into. Cleanup follows a set order. Technicians remove the contaminated insulation and droppings while wearing respiratory protection, sanitize the surfaces with enzymatic or antimicrobial cleaners, deodorize to kill the scent that attracts new animals, and replace the insulation so the attic is safe and energy-efficient again. In Florida's heat and humidity this should not wait, because contamination and odor spread faster in a warm, enclosed attic.
How do you get rid of the smell after animal waste cleanup?
Masking the odor does not work, because the smell comes from bacteria feeding on urine and droppings soaked into insulation and wood. Dr. Critter removes the contaminated material first, then treats the surfaces with enzymatic and antimicrobial cleaners that break down the odor source rather than cover it. Replacing the soiled insulation clears the last of the smell and restores the attic.
Bird work is its own version of this. Roosting pigeons and starlings leave droppings on ledges, in soffits and across roof plant rather than in insulation, and the cleanup has to be paired with proofing or the flock simply returns to the same ledge. Out in Polk County that combination is most of what we do, and bird control and droppings cleanup in Bartow covers how the two halves of that job fit together.
