The same goes for mice and rats, which leave germs in their urine and feces that can transmit very dangerous diseases. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decontamination, an essential and too often neglected step for exterminators<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To protect yourself against diseases transmitted to humans by insects and rodents, it is important to disinfect places infested by intruders such as rats, mice or other unwanted species that have infested your home or business.<br\/>Too often forgotten by exterminators, parasite decontamination is nevertheless crucial in any extermination process.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All species of wild animals, rodents or insects are potential carriers of diseases, viruses or parasites. Their droppings also pollute the air, which can cause serious health problems for the occupants of your home in the medium term. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mice, rats, and bats carry diseases such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/fr\/sante-publique\/services\/maladies\/hantavirus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hantavirus<\/a>, a condition that causes serious lung problems. Simply sweeping or vacuuming after extermination is not enough to remove harmful particles from the ambient air.<br\/>This is why it is essential that the premises be restored to their initial state, sanitary and free of all contaminants. Our decontamination company is the solution.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scope of action for post-infestation decontamination<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decontamination protocols require sustained work on the entire immediate South Shore and the Richelieu Valley. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-in-longueuil\/\">Longueuil and the South Shore<\/a>, we mainly decontaminate the attics of triplexes in Old Longueuil contaminated by bat or raccoon droppings. Our service in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-brossard\/\">Brossard<\/a> mainly treats finished basements affected by prolonged mouse infestations. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminateur-rive-sud-3\/\">South Shore decontamination<\/a> mobilizes our technicians in complete Tyvek equipment on sites of a minimum of one day. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-boucherville\/\">Boucherville<\/a>, the heritage building on De Montarville Street concentrates histoplasmosis interventions. To the east, we frequently work in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-saint-jean-sur-richelieu\/\">Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and surrounding areas<\/a> on buildings in downtown and the former Iberville district. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-saint-hyacinthe\/\">Saint-Hyacinthe (Maskoutains), regional agri-food<\/a> plants and CHSLDs ask us for HACCP protocols for post-rodents.      <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post-Infestation Decontamination Protocol: Targeted Phases and Pathogens<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Decontamination after infestation follows a five-phase protocol, governed by INSPQ recommendations and CNESST standards on bioaerosols. The first phase is the physical containment of the affected area with 6 mil plastic barriers and HEPA negative pressure, which is essential as soon as rodent or bat excrement is treated. The second phase is the HEPA suction of solids with absolute filtration of 0.3 microns, without any sweeping or blowing that would suspend pathogenic particles. The third phase is the application of a virucidal and fungicidal disinfectant registered by Health Canada (DIN active), with a minimum contact time of 10 minutes. The fourth phase is the removal, double bagging and disposal of contaminated materials according to MELCC&#8217;s HHW protocols. The fifth phase is the final decontamination of the surfaces with ATP-meter for validation.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pathogens targeted vary according to the contaminating species. Bat droppings carry Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus responsible for pulmonary histoplasmosis, which can be serious. Raccoon droppings concentrate the eggs of Baylisascaris procyonis, a zoonotic roundworm that can cause irreversible neurological damage if ingested. The excrement of rodents (mice, rats, field mice) carries hantavirus, salmonellosis, leptospirosis and haemorrhagic fever. The nests of pigeons and starlings concentrate Cryptococcus neoformans and Chlamydophila psittaci. Bird and rodent nest mites persist for several months and can cause dermatitis and asthma. That&#8217;s why our technicians wear full protective equipment: class 2 Tyvek suit, P100 half mask, goggles, lined nitrile gloves.      <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pathogens by species: health risks and decontamination requirements<\/h2>\n\n<table style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; margin:1em 0;\">\n<thead><tr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\">\n<th style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; text-align:left;\">Species<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; text-align:left;\">Main<\/th>\n pathogen<th style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; text-align:left;\">Route of transmission<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; text-align:left;\">Minimum<\/th>\n PPE<th style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; text-align:left;\">Validated disinfectant<\/th>\n<\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Bat<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Histoplasma capsulatum<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Inhalation dust<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">P100 + Tyvek class 2<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Phenol 5%, hypochlorite 1%<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#fafafa;\"><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Raccoon<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Baylisascaris procyonis<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Ingestion Resistant Eggs<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">P100 + Nitrile Gloves Lined<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Steam 80\u00b0C, Propane Burning<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Mice, rats,<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Hantavirus, Salmonella<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">inhalation, mucosal contact<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">P100 + goggles<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Hypochlorite 1%, ammonium quat.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#fafafa;\"><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Pigeons, Starlings<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Cryptococcus, Chlamydophila<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Inhalation, Skin Contact<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">P100 +<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Glutaraldehyde 2% Dry Suit, Hypochlorite<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Field mice, voles,<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Leptospira, Borrelia<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">, Urine contact, bite,<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">P100 ticks + waterproof gloves<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Hypochlorite 1%, alcohol 70%<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decontamination: pricing and deadlines<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Quebec, residential decontamination after infestation is based on an evaluation, depending on the area affected, the pathogen involved and the accessibility of the area. An attic decontamination after a bat colony (10 to 30 m\u00b2) varies on evaluation, due to the histoplasmosis requirement and the complete removal of the contaminated insulation. A finished basement after prolonged infestation of mice (30 to 80 m\u00b2) is estimated to be high. A crawl space with a raccoon&#8217;s nest (5 to 15 m\u00b2) is a matter of evaluation, due to the risk of Baylisascaris. The procedure typically lasts between 1 and 4 days depending on the extent. We provide a detailed decontamination report with before\/after photos, validation ATP-meter and certificate of compliance that can be used with home insurance companies, which often cover these costs under the heading of vermin damage.     <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did you know?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there have been animals in your home and the place has not been contaminated, all the other animals can sense their former presence and return to the premises.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smell problem?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes people call us with an odour problem. Indeed, the passage of a skunk or the smell of putrefaction due to an unresolved extermination problem, can permeate a house for a long time. And this can be excessively unpleasant.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img alt=\"\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2179 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Decontamination-Souris-Exterminateur-Extermination-20-300x284.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Decontamination-Souris-Exterminateur-Extermination-20-300x284.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Decontamination-Souris-Exterminateur-Extermination-20.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br\/>So we have created our own deodorization technique: we use specialized products and install air exchanger systems.
