Decontamination

Why Choose Abolish?

We are not your average pest control company. We have over 20 years of experience, certifications, and licenses to do what we do. What separates us from pest control companies and decontamination companies, whether it is attic or commercial decon., are our special divisions. We have experts in Bird Control, Animal Control, Insect Pest Control, Rodents, Attic Decontamination, and Commercial/Industrial Decontamination. That is why whatever we do, we have the experts and specialists to get the job done right. All day they deal within their expertise so that Abolish can continue to provide the best services.

We provide everything our Attic Decontamination Competitors provide but with more experience, safer efficient equipment and better rodent control techniques. The big difference from our competitors is we are licensed by California to spray chemicals to kill any and all parasites, insects, pathogens that our's and our competitor's fog machines will miss. Rodents and their feces provide a haven for fleas, spores, and parasites. After all you do not want to have a clean attic but suffer from bird mites or fleas. Once the rat host is eliminated, the parasites will search for a new house host..

Rat Control and Decontamination is our department of specialties.

As most people may know, leaving an attic with foul smells is not only unpleasant it is also a danger to one's health. It also attracts other animals to your attic. That is why cleaning and decontaminating the attic after an infestation is crucial in preventing future infestations. If you attempt to clean the attic yourself, it is strongly recommended to have proper equipment. As part of Abolish's Complete Rodent, pigeon, and animal control, We offer trapping, removing, proofing, cleaning, and decontaminating. As part of our Attic decontamination process we vacuum any droppings, Clean infected areas, and Replace the infected insulation with new insulation. If feces is not cleaned then more rodents, animals or birds may come and you may even have to deal with a stronger smell of a dead animal in your attic.

Some common attic inhabitants are pigeons, rats, raccoons, possums, squirrels, and bats.

Benefits of having Abolish Decontaminate

These are some things you should look for when choosing a company for decontamination

1. We use HEPA filters to prevent harmful particles from becoming airborne
2. We are certified, licensed and insured for use of pesticide and other chemicals
3. We are trained to spot any pest infestations or vulnerabilities to infestation
4. We use pest control insulation to prevent insect infestation

Prevent harmful contaminants from becoming airborne

We take many safety procedures including air quality. When insulation is removed small dust particles, spores, and other harmful airborne particles are spread throughout the air. In order to prevent cross-contamination, our steps take this into great consideration and only use US government certified HEPA vacuums. Most companies use common household vacuums that blow harmful contaminants and infectious diseases through out the air and your home. Be sure the company that decontaminates uses a HEPA vacuum.

 

Certified, licensed and insured for use of pesticide and other chemicals

Another benefit of having Abolish remove your insulation is if it is infested with rodents or insects. We are certified by the state to use pesticides and other chemicals. The process of removing infested insulation may require chemicals to safely remove feces and eliminate odor. Pesticide can also be used to eliminate insect pests

 

 

 

Trained to spot any pest infestations or vulnerabilities to infestation

Most companies that offer insulation removal and Installation are not a certified, licensed, and insured pest control company. The benefits from having Abolish remove your insulation are the forewarnings they may discover. If your attic is infested with an animal or rodent, simply removing the contaminated insulation will not deter their stay there. Abolish will be able to spot and eliminate entry points easily since Having professionals inspect, proof, and decontaminate the attic is recommended with Insulation removal.

 

 

Use pest control insulation

If you would like to further deter pest infestation in your attic, we use insulation that will prevent insect pests from nesting in your attic.

 

Industrial/Commercial Decontamination

In many cases with Industrial and Commercial Decontamination and cleanup jobs, the infestation and accumulation of feces is a result of years of ignoring the problem. The fact is that ignoring any infestation will result in costly repercussions. Health hazards to both Employees and Customers can result in costly medical bills and the deterioration of expensive equipment can be costly to repair or replace. Apart from cleaning and decontaminating, eliminating the pest and proofing the problem area is essential. Doing so prevents future infestations and thus avoiding expensive cleaning and repair costs. Decontamination costs should not be a routine if it does not need to be.

The bacteria, fungal agents and parasites found in pest droppings and nests can carry hosts with serious diseases, including histoplasmosis, encephalitis, salmonella, meningitis, toxoplasmosis and more.

 

Complete Attic Decontamination

Before we start
We take great precaution in keeping uninfected areas of your home clean by taping and covering exposed areas during our attic decontamination process. We must use the most accessible and easiest way to quickly and safely remove insulation and waste, at times it requires going through your home. Thus we take extra steps in keeping your home clean.

 

 

 

 

 

Once the exposed areas have been sealed and covered we begin the feces and contaminated insulation removal

Note - Any feces or other waste left under the insulation is vacuumed with a US government certified HEPA vacuum. Most companies use common household vacuums that blow harmful contaminants and infectious diseases through out the air and even through your home. Be sure the company that decontaminates uses a HEPA vacuum.

• Conventional vacuums exhaust unseen lead particles back into the environment, compounding the existing hazard
• Minuteman's lead vacuum has been specifically designed for safe and efficient daily use in commercial and industrial sites
• With a H.E.P.A. vacuum, particulates are contained within a special filter, allowing NO hazardous dust to escape back into the air
• As an added precaution, a patented interlocking safety system prevents the vacuum from being operated without the H.E.P.A. filter
• Non-woven, embossed, polyester filter bag provides 50% more filtration area than standard bags. Filter is 99% efficient at 1 micron
• Equipped with H.E.P.A. filter which is 99.97% efficient at 0.3 microns

We also use a ULPA (Ultra low particulate air) filter to further contain harmful contaminants; 99.999% efficient at .12 microns. This filter is much more efficient than normal HEPA filters.

Pesticide, Bactericide, Sanitize, Disinfect
Before new insulation is installed, The area MUST be treated with disinfectant and pesticide. When the animal or rodent had taken abode in your attic, parasites had a home on the rodent. Once the host is removed, parasites that are not eliminated will search for a new host--The new host could be a pet or you. Risk of disease should also be considered, thus disinfecting the area is another routine in our complete attic decontamination.We use multi-purpose sanitizing spray to kill harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold, mildew, etc.. Be sure the company you chooses sprays. Click here for all MSDS and labels of all the chemicals we may use.

Decontaminating the area is essential to deter possible future rodent occupants. Check Photo Gallery to see more examples of attic decontamination. The longer animals have lived in your attic, the more contaminated it is, but even short-term attic use will leave behind odors and pheromones. We know that once animals leave their scent behind it attracts new animals. once the problem starts, it can easily become a consistent problem.

 

Complete Industrial/Commercial
Decontamination

Industrial and commercial decontamination steps are similar as attic decontamination. The only difference is that a contaminated area is usually much larger. Our technicians work long hours cleaning and decontaminating in health hazardous zones.

Before we start
We exam the situation taking great precaution and noting any possible health risks and hazards. Most decontamination and cleanup jobs require an extensive amount of equipment ranging from jump suits, gloves, respirators with HEPA filters, hard hats, pressure washer, Bactericide, pesticide, insecticide, HEPA vacuum, and other necessary equipment.

Cleaning
Simply cleaning an infested area is highly hazardous to not only the ones cleaning but those around as well. The contaminants can be airborne for days. Our process and equipment reduces the risk of further spreading airborne contaminants and completely decontaminating the infestation.

Note - Any contaminated materials are vacuumed with a US government certified HEPA vacuum. Most companies use common household vacuums that blow harmful contaminants and infectious diseases through out the air and even through your home. Be sure the company that decontaminates uses a HEPA vacuum.
