Human Feces Removal Services

With a population nearing one million, Ventura County faces the ongoing challenge of managing the impact of expanding homeless encampments throughout the area. A lack of accessible public restrooms has resulted in human waste, including feces and urine, being left on sidewalks, in yards, and near building entrances, creating serious public health concerns. Additionally, there are instances in which customers become ill and leave feces or vomit on restroom floors and walls, requiring immediate and specialized cleanup.

Human Feces Pose Serious Health Hazards

Human feces can harbor numerous harmful pathogens, including Hepatitis A, Giardia, E. coli, Campylobacter, Cholera, Clostridium difficile (C. diff), Norovirus, and Hookworm. Although not legally classified as medical waste requiring biohazard disposal, fecal matter can contaminate surfaces and leave behind dangerous bacteria and viruses that pose risks to public health long after visible waste is removed.

Understandably, many employees and staff members are reluctant to handle such cleanup, and their concerns are valid. Safe and effective feces removal requires proper techniques, protective equipment, and the use of industrial-strength, environmentally safe cleaning agents. Engaging professional sanitation services ensures thorough disinfection and helps maintain a safe, hygienic environment for staff, customers, and the community at large.

Decontamination

Feces can harbor harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites that pose risks to both humans and animals. Our decontamination services target known threats such as Parvovirus and Giardia, or can be performed as a precautionary measure to ensure a safe and sanitary environment.

Odor Removal

A buildup of feces and urine can create persistent, unpleasant odors. We use a veterinarian-approved deodorizer that effectively neutralizes odors while remaining safe for both pets and people.

Rodent Droppings Cleanup Services

Here in Ventura County, rodent infestations present significant health hazards due to the presence of droppings, urine, and nesting materials—all of which may carry harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Thorough and proper cleanup is essential not only to eliminate odors and waste but also to safeguard human health, prevent disease transmission, and restore a clean, sanitary environment.

Health Risks Associated with Rodent Waste

Rodent droppings and urine can harbor dangerous pathogens that may become airborne when disturbed, posing serious respiratory and other health risks. Some of the most concerning diseases linked to rodent contamination include:

  • Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS): A potentially life-threatening respiratory illness transmitted through inhalation of particles from infected rodent urine, droppings, or saliva.
  • Salmonella: A bacterial infection commonly found in rodent feces that can contaminate food, surfaces, and preparation areas, leading to severe gastrointestinal illness.
  • Leptospirosis: A bacterial disease spread through exposure to rodent urine, which may cause symptoms ranging from fever and muscle aches to kidney or liver damage.
  • Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV): A viral infection contracted through contact with contaminated rodent waste, which can impact the nervous system and pose serious risks, particularly to pregnant individuals.

Improper cleanup methods—such as dry sweeping or vacuuming—can aerosolize these pathogens, increasing the potential for exposure and infection. To minimize health risks and ensure complete decontamination, professional rodent waste cleanup is strongly recommended. Our trained technicians follow strict safety protocols and use specialized equipment to contain, remove, and disinfect all affected areas, restoring your space to a safe and habitable condition.

Raccoon Latrine Cleanup Services

Raccoons often use specific sites, known as latrines, to deposit their feces repeatedly over time. These areas can accumulate significant amounts of waste, resulting in strong, unpleasant odors and increased contamination risks. Raccoon droppings are generally dark, tubular in shape, and relatively easy to identify.

Health Risks Associated with Raccoon Feces

Although raccoon feces are not classified as regulated biohazard waste, they can present serious health hazards. One of the primary concerns is the presence of Baylisascaris procyonis, commonly known as raccoon roundworm. Infected raccoons shed roundworm eggs in their feces, which can remain viable in the environment for extended periods.

When a raccoon latrine is disturbed—through sweeping, vacuuming, or even outdoor activity—these microscopic eggs can become airborne. If inhaled or ingested, they may cause severe health complications, including neurological damage, vision impairment, or even fatal infections. Young children are particularly vulnerable due to their increased likelihood of hand-to-mouth contact.

Due to the potential risks, raccoon latrine cleanup must be handled with extreme care. Specialized safety procedures, protective equipment, and proper disposal methods are essential to minimize exposure and ensure the area is safely decontaminated. Professional remediation is strongly recommended for effective and safe cleanup.

Infectious Diseases Spread Through Feces

Feces are a biohazard and can be a vector for infectious diseases. These diseases can spread when spores or microscopic particles of feces are transferred from one person to another, often through ingestion. This transmission can occur directly, such as hand-to-mouth contact, or indirectly via contaminated objects, surfaces, foods, or water. Some examples of diseases that spread through fecal contamination include:

C. diff (Clostridioides difficile)

A serious bacterial infection that causes severe diarrhea and inflammation of the colon.

Campylobacteriosis

A bacterial infection that causes gastrointestinal illness, often linked to contaminated food or water.

Giardiasis

A protozoan infection that affects the intestines, commonly spread via contaminated water.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

A contagious viral illness affecting children, spread through contact with feces, saliva, or respiratory droplets

Salmonellosis

A bacterial infection that causes diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps; often linked to undercooked food or poor hygiene.

Candidiasis (Thrush)

Though primarily caused by fungal overgrowth, poor hygiene and exposure to fecal contamination can exacerbate infection, particularly in vulnerable individuals.

Viral Gastroenteritis (Norovirus, etc.)

Highly contagious viruses that cause inflammation of the stomach and intestines, leading to vomiting and diarrhea.

Hepatitis A

A viral liver infection transmitted through the ingestion of contaminated food or water

Cryptosporidiosis

A parasitic infection causing watery diarrhea; often spreads in recreational water or through food.

Meningitis (bacterial or viral)

While not typically associated with fecal transmission, certain viral forms can spread via fecal-oral routes, particularly in communal settings.

Rotavirus Infection

A common cause of severe diarrhea in infants and young children, spread via fecal-oral contact.

Shigellosis

A highly contagious bacterial infection that causes diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps.

Parasitic Worm Infections

Includes roundworms, tapeworms, and others transmitted through contaminated food, water, or soil.

Yersiniosis

A bacterial infection that can cause fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, typically spread through undercooked pork or contaminated water.
