Benefits of Professional Rat Dropping Cleanup

Animal feces in general is bad for your health, and prolonged exposure to them has been linked to numerous illnesses. Exposure to rat feces, in particular, is much worse. So once you see rat droppings in your home, call for professional rat dropping cleanup services right away.

Why Are Rat Droppings Dangerous?

When a rat walks over their own feces or pee before walking through human food, the transfer of bacteria might contaminate the food. Rats carry two main diseases in their feces, both of which are types of food poisoning: leptospirosis and salmonellosis.

Leptospirosis is a curable disease, but there are cases when some people afflicted with it develop severe complications, like kidney failure, jaundice, bleeding, and respiratory complications. Severe leptospirosis can lead to death.

Salmonellosis is also a curable disease. It’s also barely life-threatening, with an overall mortality rate of less than 1%, but it can be fatal if it reaches the bloodstreams of people with compromised immune systems, such as the elderly and the very young.

The first step in getting rid of the negative impacts of rats in your home is to thoroughly clean and disinfect the area they nested on. You have two options for cleaning those infested areas: either you clean them yourself with the help of family or friends, or hire professionals to do the work for you, like Rodent Solutions. However, we strongly advise you against the first option, because you could just make the problem worse if you’re not able to clean those infestation areas properly. Even worse, you and your family could be infected by many dangerous particles emitted by rodents in your home. We can only recommend that you conduct the cleanup yourself if you are completely informed of the dos and don’ts, and have the confidence that you can do so safely with the proper PPE. 

Benefits of Hiring a Professional Rat Dropping Cleanup Company

Professional rodent decontamination experts first inspect your property, then establish a cleanup plan to ensure that the spaces are remediated wholly from the impact of rodent infestation. They are completely aware of the risks and take the necessary safety precautions, completing the task with utmost care and efficiency without jeopardizing your family’s or their own safety

They are expertly trained and have all the tools necessary to remove all traces of rat droppings in your property; among these tools is a special ozone air neutralizer. This advanced technology is used to safely and effectively remove any lingering odors during the process.

All contaminated materials, such as gloves, plastic bags, and worn cleaning cloths, must be disposed of away from your home after cleaning. If you decide to do the cleaning yourself, you may find it difficult to get rid of these hazardous materials from your home immediately. Professionals, however, know just where to dispose of these items after the cleanup.

Most importantly, the removal of rodent droppings is NOT included in most home insurance plans. Every insurance company we are aware of has a rodent or wildlife exclusion in their policy. 

Conclusion

It is difficult to overstate the importance of securely and thoroughly cleaning up rat droppings from your home or attic. Rat feces that are not completely and carefully removed can bring terrible consequences to your and your family’s health. This is why many homeowners hire professional rat dropping cleanup companies to help them deal with rat droppings.
