Not only do we offer pest control, we also offer Attic cleanup! Most pest control companies only control pests and they do it well. What they don’t tell you is all the pests they exterminate are left behind, in your attic! Not only are the rodents themselves left behind, but also everything the from the rodents including hair, oil, blood and feces. These rodent secretions attract other rodents and can cause a health concern. In order to prevent further infestation and protect you and your family’s health Attic Cleanup and Decontamination is crucial. Mecaf offers removing, proofing, cleaning and decontamination services.
Attic Cleanup Process
The first steps are evaluating your attic in order to determine whether or not we can vacuum the rodent droppings or if we need to replace the insulation. Once that is determined, along with physically removing the rodents left in your attic, we also seal the attic entry points rodents commonly use. We then remove all of the droppings left behind by the rodents.
Decontamination Process
The Attic Decontamination process described above should be done before the new insulation is installed. Also, the attic must be treated with BioShield to combat further nuisances and infectious diseases. Rodents make a home of your attic, parasites and infectious agents made a home of the rodents. Once the rodents are removed from the attic, parasites and diseases are not eliminated and will search for a new home, possibly you, a family member, or your pet. Once the attic is treated with BioShield, you can be assured your attic will be clean and free of harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold, mildew, etc.
The Attic Cleanup and Decontamination process will not only eliminate the health concerns in your attic, it will also treat the odors rodents leave behind, which contain pheromones that attract other rodents. Attic Decontamination is essential to prevent future rodent and rodent infestations of your attic. Short term infestations can easily turn into chronic attic infestation problems if not treated properly.
Equipment & Chemicals
Mecaf uses Electronic Atomist Foggers to apply BioShield, a powerful anti-microbial product that kills bacteria, viruses, mold, and mildew on contact an maintains a long-lasting barrier of protection, throughout the attic.
Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE)
Its it very important to be protective. Our experts always wear personal protective equipment in order to reduce the possibility of being infected while engaging in cleanup and decontamination. Several infectious diseases associated with rodents can be airborne. A respirator, nitrile gloves and coveralls are used to combat the risks.
