If Raccoon’s or other rodents have invaded your home or commercial building, you might have a bio hazard mess that needs to be cleaned up by a bio hazard team. The Hammer Restoration team has the bio hazard training and experience to help you.

As soon as you discover an intrusive animal in your home or business, you should contact a trusted animal control professional to remove it before it causes too much damage. After the animal is removed, it is also wise to contact a biohazard cleanup specialist to clean any feces, urine, or other bacteria left by the animal.

Raccoons often leave their feces in communal sites called latrines. Because raccoons are the primary host of Baylisascaris procyanis (BP), a roundworm that can harm people, and the roundworm eggs may be present in raccoon feces, their latrines should be removed and cleaned up whenever they might pose a health hazard. This the task requires extreme caution. Where might a raccoon latrine be? If not around the base of a tree, a raccoon latrine may be in an attic, garage, pole barn, roof, deck, or patio. Raccoon latrines in or near a dwelling should be are considered a potential health hazard.

Attics, poll barns garages that have Raccoon or animal feces, soiled insulation and animal contaminants are always a concern and can cause serious health issues for the residents of the home or business. Environmental safety, property values, bio-hazard issues, electrical fires, code violations and the prevention of diseases are also important reasons to make sure an attic is clean and safe. Removing and replacing insulation is a part of the cleaning and decontamination process as are disinfecting, deodorizing and performing electrical wire inspections.
