Remediation: Facts Of Importance

Once nuisance pests enter your home, they can cause significant damage which can amount to thousands of dollars. It is important to complete the remediation process after a professional wildlife technician removes the animal(s) from your home, to restore it back before the animal(s) inhabited it. Here are the reasons "why" you should complete this process.

Feces

Any animal that inhabits your home using the space not only to live in but to also use the restroom. Depending the amount of time an animal has lived in the space, there can be a significant amount of urine and feces gathered. When it comes to a raccoon and/or bat, their feces is toxic to humans. Raccoon feces can carry roundworm that can be inhaled or swallowed. Giardia is another disease found in raccoon feces which causes stomach problems. Leptospirosis is another which causes headaches, jaundice and fever. Bats can carry histoplasmosis which affects the lungs to make it hard to breathe and could cause death if not treated. Different animals can cause different diseases which is why it is important to clean up their mess.

Material Replacement

Here are just a few examples of what wildlife animals can do to a home. Pests, which has made your attic their home, can cause damage to important materials of the home. The insulation helps control the temperature of the home, either by keeping it cool or warm. If the insulation is damaged, then the home's electric bill could increase due to not having the proper materials working like they should. Squirrels are known for using their sharp teeth to chew wires inside the home. Not only could this not allow the electricity work properly, but can also cause a fire within the home. Nuisance pests can also damage the outside of the home as well. They can tear open small holes to make them larger in order to enter the home which can damage the siding, roof top, gables and/or soffits.

Odor

Any wildlife nuisance pest smells. We are not able to give these animals baths as we do domestic animals. Even if an animal has been living in your attic, the odor can be smelled all throughout the home. Not just the odor from a nuisance pest can be inside your home, but there's the odor of their urine and feces, not to mention if an animal dies within your home too. You may not be able to tell; however, a house guest can.
