Animal Waste Cleanup - Steri-Clean Illinois
We love our furry friends. Unfortunately, they do make messes and that can be devastating to a home’s interior and one’s health. Animal waste also carries with it, a risky potential for pathogens to be passed along. Things such as Escherichia Coli (E. Coli), Salmonella, Listeria, Tapeworm, Campylobacter, Hookworm, Roundworm, and Giardiasis can be potentially passed through to humans.
Cats
The urine of cats is by far the utmost difficult to remove. A strong, pungent odor ruminates from feline urine and can potentially cause ammonia sensitivities even in otherwise completely healthy individuals. Cat urine can also cause a painful headache in those afflicted with sensory issues. Poorly ventilated environments with several cats can become hazardous, causing ammonia concentration. This ammonia concentration can lead to respiratory issues like infection, coughing, lung irritation, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Cats that are surrounded by their own excrement can also be affected by this and become extremely ill, or lethargic.
Ammonia concentration can even lead to expensive repair needs in a home, due to deterioration of drywall, wood, even metal from direct contact with animal urine.
Animal Waste Cleanup
Elimination of any stains or odors can prove extremely difficult, depending on the severity of the animal waste and the length of time it has saturated the surface(s) affected. Carpet treatment can be offered, but the majority of cases do leave minimal or even major staining behind. The best way to eliminate animal waste scenarios in carpet is to remove it completely, down to the subflooring, seal the subflooring, and replace the carpet with something more durable like vinyl.
However, even subflooring can be affected if the situation has gone on untreated for an extended duration. Costing largely for subflooring removal, and overall affecting one’s health due to the saturation of urine and feces.
Pests
Animal Waste does not just end with our pets being the culprit. Sometimes, pests that try to burrow may be the cause of intense odors, or damage to a home’s interior. Pests' habitats can be destructive to a home and cause a lot of ill-health. Rodent feces, if airborne, can cause a variety of respiratory issues and it is vital to catch these when the first signs of rodents are present, to eliminate any further risk for exposure to their excrement and any potential damage to the home. Rodents can burrow in a wall, attic, cabinets, or any other part of the home and cause a lot of damage. Their habitats are full of gross filth and are very hazardous. Remaining food scraps can mold over, carcasses of other rodents or prey can be left behind.
