Animal Infestations That Threaten Crestview-Area Homes

 As a Crestview, Defuniak Springs, or Chipley homeowner, it is not challenging to see all of the wildlife that exists even in the neighborhood where you live. From the persistent raccoons knocking over your trashcan to get to your scraps to snake nests that can often appear in the crawlspaces of homes throughout the region, addressing the effect any of these infestations can have on your house should happen as quickly as possible.
 
Our SERVPRO team can help with biohazard cleanup for Crestview, Defuniak Springs, and Chipley homes once pest control and wildlife services have worked to ensure that the living creatures that could nest in your property are gone. You might not realize how bad an animal intrusion has become until these professionals get involved and trap, relocate or eradicate these threats. Animals can live in a high degree of filth, including their waste and other biohazardous conditions. To protect your home from any adverse effects, our dedicated team of bio-threat recovery specialists can help.
 
While many animals could infiltrate your attic, chimney, crawlspace, and walls, few are as destructive as raccoons, squirrels, rats, and snakes. While each of these creatures can nest differently, lingering fecal matter and droppings can cause health hazards for exposed humans and pets. Even after the process of cleaning these areas after pests have been eliminated or relocated, aerosolization of viral and bacterial threats is a continued concern without stringent disinfecting efforts.
 
Our SERVPRO professionals can wear personal protective equipment such as full-coverage suits, respirators, and gloves. During the disinfection and cleaning process to restore these damaged areas of your household, it is vital to prevent the transference of bacteria.
 
The discovery of an animal infestation in your home can be alarming and overwhelming, even after the immediate presence of rodents or reptiles has gotten addressed. Our SERVPRO of Crestview, Defuniak Springs, and Chipley team can help with the precise and focused cleaning that your home needs after these damaging situations.
