You’ve gotten rid of the pet infestation in your attic and are looking to decontaminate the area to complete the recovery. When the crew arrives on the scene, you need to take several necessary steps to ensure your family is not affected by the process and allow for everything to run smoothly.
Make Sure Children and Pets Aren’t Home
Despite the disinfectants being eco-friendly, removing your children and pets from home as decontamination is under way is a good idea. Children, animals, and the elderly are known to have weaker immune systems and sometimes develop mild adverse side effects to the chemicals used throughout the process. Take your pets and sensitive family members for a walk outside until the work is finished, as matter of safety.
An outing to the zoo, local restaurant, or the beach might be a good idea if any family member, including yourself tends to react negatively to dust or certain cleaning chemicals. By doing this you will have a piece of mind knowing nobody is exposed to potentially harmful chemicals in the attic.
Ventilate Your Home
This should go without saying. To keep any nasty, lingering odors from the infestation away from your home, make sure to keep the house airy and ventilated during and after the decontamination.
Make The Attic Accessible
Don’t forget to clear away any clutter that blocks the access to the attic. The technician needs to be able to access even the tiniest corner in order to completely disinfect the area. If the professional can’t freely move around, the job may take a lot longer than initially expected. By removing any obstructions, you are saving yourself money and a whole lot of worry.
