Raccoon, Cleaning And Feces In Old Toronto

The initial call to the property was for a raccoon that had gotten into a home through an opening under a concrete porch. The opening allowed the raccoon to enter an actual room in the house. The room was destroyed by the raccoon and it defecated and urinated all over it. Raccoon feces is very dangerous as raccoons carry a parasite called raccoon roundworm. Why raccoons do not get sick from this parasite is still unknown but the worm sheds millions of eggs a day and can fill a human or animal body with worms that can enter every organ from the skin to the eyes to the brain where it causes Alzheimer’s like symptoms, blindness and then a coma and brain death. This does not take long to occur and can result in a great tragedy.

Exterior Inspection

The initial inspection of the exterior revealed an opening under the concrete porch of the house. These entryways are problematic as they allow wild animals to make a nest under your home and this can lead to feces urine, dead animals, and bad smells as well as damage to your have and garbage ripped apart and spread across your lawn. Getting rid of them is easy, without their nest they will not stay. So call Raccoon Control for a free estimate and be free of your animal invader.

The main entry way — The customer did what they could to exclude the area themselves but a professional would have made it far stronger and covered it with a two-year warranty.

Another entry way — This entryway was quoted to be sealed off as well.

Interior inspection

The interior inspection of the room that the raccoon had gotten into a bedroom in the basement of an old house. The furniture and wall had been torn apart and defecated on. The process for cleaning would require moving everything damaged and defecated on to be taken by the city trash collectors after it has been sterilized to ensure there are no raccoon roundworm eggs that could get someone sick.

The affected room — As can be seen, the raccoon destroyed the room entirely. Defecating and nesting in insulation and on a mattress.

More Detritus — More garbage is covered in raccoon feces which could cause massive infections if not cleaned properly.

Extensive damage — The raccoon tore through the wall and continued ripping the room apart

Entrance way — This is the initial interior entryway the raccoon broke through to get inside. This is not what gets sealed, the entryway on the outside is what must be sealed to prevent entry.

Initial Measures

The initial measures taken by the technician included sterilizing the room and its furniture and removing garbage and detritus caused by the raccoon’s presence in the room. There was a piece of drywall that had been torn off by the raccoon entering the room and a mattress that had been used as a nest as well as a sight for deification.

The Garbage and detritus — This is the result of the full removal of the feces and mess.

The Mattress — The mattress is not usable anymore and must be disposed of.

Proposed exclusion

The proposed exclusion by the technician was to ensure that no animal was trapped in the room that was invaded. Sealing an animal unknowingly can result in disastrous situations like further and more severe destruction as it tries to escape and possibly a dead animal in your wall. A one-way door can save you from this situation. The technician also trenched a porch that was the access point the animal used. This process involved digging an 8-foot long trench one foot deep and six inches wide. Galvanized waterproof mesh of a suitable gauge is then attached to the top edge of the deck and is buried one foot down and six inches out. This process when completed will prevent wild animals and even rodents from getting under your deck. No exclusion can be done without a one-way door, this is for the safety of the home and the animal that could still be in that area.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the raccoon, if still inside the house was evicted. The roundworm danger had been fully resolved and sterilized with hospital-grade botanical chemical sterilizers and one hundred degrees plus steam. The room is now safe and the customers are pleased with the cleaning and the exclusion that limited the access to their concrete patio.
