Decontamination

The Critter Guy handles many kinds of nuisance wildlife, and some of them are bad about leaving an awful mess after we kick them out. Although many problems only require a minimum level of cleaning, we sometimes end up with more involved situations. The Critter Guy can handle larger-scale biological toxic waste removal. We have the expertise, care, licensure, insurance, and equipment to safely handle major issues such as:

During the process, we always take great care to ensure your safety. We use industry-specific protocols and special equipment to handle these types of waste safely and effectively.


If cost is an issue, we are happy to break up the process into steps. We prefer to bid the seal-out and clean-up stages separately so that you only pay for services you truly need, when you need them. There are many companies that like selling "magic insulation". Sometimes, they will bid a very expensive full insulation replacement for your attic, when all you really need is a spot clean. Our bat page has more information about why we don't recommend TAP insulation. For more details on our pricing, see The Critter Guy's fee information page.

One of Our Jobs

The following photos are from a full-scale attic remediation project we did after evicting bats.

An attic with a large pile of bat poop in the back
This attic started out with huge piles of bat guano. Nasty!
The same attic, free of guano
First, we safely performed a full removal of all of the guano and contaminated insulation. Then, we applied encapsulating fungicidal paint to all of the wood that had direct contact with guano or urine.

After a thorough cleaning, we installed blow-in insulation...

...and this customer ended up with a nicely cleaned attic, insulated to modern building codes.
