When wild animals invade your property—be it your yard, attic, or commercial facility—they don’t just leave behind physical damage. They also leave dangerous pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can spread serious diseases. Without proper sanitization, these germs can remain active on surfaces, in the air, and even in dust for extended periods. To safeguard your family, customers, and employees, thorough cleaning and disinfecting must be a top priority after any wildlife or rodent intrusion.

We Are an Essential Service for Your Health and Safety

At Wildout Animal and Pest Control, we operate as an essential business because the services we provide protect human health. Our team is fully trained to deal not only with pest and wildlife removal but also with the crucial steps that follow—cleaning, sanitizing, and restoring spaces so they are truly safe to occupy. Especially during uncertain times like the COVID-19 pandemic, professional sanitization is one of the best defenses against lingering viral threats.

Our Sanitization Approach: More Than Just Cleaning

What We Use: Powerful, Professional-Grade Disinfectants

Our sanitation process begins with a concentrated, multi-functional product that acts as a disinfectant, cleaner, fungicide, mildewstat, and sanitizer all in one solution. It effectively eliminates viruses, bacteria, fungi, and mold spores on both porous and non-porous surfaces. Unlike everyday cleaners, our solution is designed for use in high-risk environments, including schools, restrooms, medical waiting areas, basements, and other locations exposed to biohazards.

Where It’s Used: Residential and Commercial Applications

Our disinfectant solution is applied in a variety of environments, including private homes, apartment buildings, restaurants, office spaces, garages, and attics. It’s also used in places where water damage or pest infestation may have compromised sanitation levels. No matter the location, our process ensures that all contaminated materials and surfaces are treated thoroughly and safely.

Viruses and Bacteria Commonly Spread by Wild Animals and Rodents

High-Risk Pathogens We Help Eliminate

Wild animals such as rodents, raccoons, bats, and birds can carry pathogens that are harmful to humans and pets. When they nest or leave droppings in your home, they can spread the following:

• Hantavirus (especially from rodent urine and droppings)
• E. Coli (often found in contaminated food or water)
• Hepatitis B and C (via infected biological waste)
• Avian Influenza (carried by wild birds)
• Staphylococcus (Staph infections from contaminated surfaces)
• Streptococcus (Strep bacteria in saliva and nasal fluids)
• HIV (transmitted through contaminated blood or body fluids)

These viruses and bacteria are resilient and may linger for weeks or months if not properly disinfected. Even indirect contact with contaminated dust can lead to serious illness or respiratory conditions.

Why Sanitization Is Just as Important as Pest Removal

Post-Infestation Health Hazards That Linger

Removing pests is only the first step in protecting your home or business. Once animals are gone, their biological waste—including feces, urine, saliva, nesting materials, and hair—remains behind and can be dangerous. These materials often soak into insulation, wood, carpets, and drywall, making them difficult to clean without proper equipment.

The Danger of Airborne Contaminants and Dust

Even if the mess looks minor, dried droppings can crumble and turn into dust. That dust can become airborne during regular household activities such as sweeping, vacuuming, or moving boxes. One example is Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), a potentially fatal disease that spreads through inhalation of dust contaminated by rodent urine. According to the CDC, this is why they advise against vacuuming contaminated spaces without professional help.

Sanitization for Businesses Reopening After Quarantine

Protecting Customers, Staff, and Inventory

As businesses open their doors after lockdowns or long periods of inactivity, many are discovering pest activity in storage rooms, break rooms, ceiling voids, and HVAC systems. These are areas where rodents and insects often nest undisturbed. Without proper sanitation, the germs they’ve left behind could put customers and employees at risk. That’s why we offer commercial disinfection services designed specifically for reopening protocols and post-quarantine safety.

Inspection, Sanitization, and Prevention

Our process includes a full inspection of your premises, targeted disinfection of all known and suspected contamination sites, and recommendations to prevent future infestations. If you operate a public-facing business, you owe it to your patrons to ensure every surface they may touch is clean, safe, and free of microbial hazards.

Our 4-Step Sanitization Process at Wildout

Step 1: Site Evaluation and Risk Assessment

We begin by carefully evaluating the site, determining the type of animal activity that occurred, and identifying high-risk zones like insulation, ductwork, or baseboards. This helps us develop a targeted sanitization strategy based on the layout and severity of the contamination.

Step 2: Safe Removal of Contaminated Waste

All contaminated debris—droppings, nesting materials, or dead animals—are removed using gloves, masks, sealed containers, and EPA-approved disposal methods. Our technicians follow industry best practices to prevent cross-contamination and protect indoor air quality.

Step 3: Deep Cleaning and Disinfection

We apply our disinfectant using sprayers or fogging equipment that allows us to cover hard-to-reach spaces and porous materials. This includes attics, basements, crawlspaces, air vents, flooring, and even furniture if needed. Our team ensures no area is left untreated, especially where pests were known to nest or travel.

Step 4: Final Prevention Measures and Follow-Up

After cleaning, we help you seal entry points, install pest barriers, and apply deterrents that make your property less attractive to wildlife. We can also recommend long-term exclusion strategies and offer maintenance plans to monitor for new activity.
