Bio-One of Huntsville provides professional hantavirus disinfection and rodent droppings cleanup in Huntsville, Madison, Decatur, Athens, and surrounding North Alabama communities. Call 256-677-6111.
You noticed the signs — chewed wires, scratching sounds in the attic at night, maybe droppings in the pantry. You did the right thing and called a pest control company. They came out, sealed entry points, set traps, and cleared the rodents. Problem solved, right? Not quite. What most pest control companies don't do — and what most homeowners don't realize — is that the rodents left something behind far more dangerous than the inconvenience of their presence: contaminated droppings, urine, and nesting material that can pose a serious health risk to you and your family. And right now, hantavirus is one of the biggest concerns on people's minds — and for good reason.
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a severe, potentially fatal respiratory illness caused by hantaviruses — most commonly transmitted through contact with infected rodent droppings, urine, or saliva. In the United States, the deer mouse is the primary carrier, but other rodents can also harbor the virus. People contract hantavirus most frequently by inhaling tiny airborne particles contaminated by infected rodent waste. This means that simply sweeping up droppings in your attic, crawlspace, or basement without proper precautions could put you at serious risk. According to the CDC, hantavirus has a mortality rate of approximately 38% — which is why awareness and proper cleanup procedures matter so much. Hantavirus does not spread person to person. You get it from the rodents — specifically from their waste. And that's exactly why professional hantavirus disinfection and rodent droppings cleanup is not a DIY job.
Rodent contamination is rarely limited to one spot. In our experience serving Huntsville and the surrounding areas, we commonly find rodent droppings, urine, and nesting material in:
• Attics — the #1 most common location in North Alabama homes
• Crawl spaces under the home
• Inside wall voids
• Garages and storage areas
• HVAC ducts and air handling units
• Basements
• Kitchen cabinets and pantry areas
Every one of these locations carries the same risk: disturbing the droppings without proper PPE and disinfection protocols can aerosolize the hantavirus particles and other pathogens, putting anyone nearby at risk.
Bio-One's rodent droppings cleanup and hantavirus decontamination process is thorough, methodical, and done right the first time. Here's what we do: 1. Assessment — We inspect the full scope of contamination before touching anything. This includes attic insulation, crawlspace vapor barriers, HVAC components, and any other affected areas. 2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) — Our technicians suit up with full respirators, Tyvek suits, gloves, and boot covers. You should never attempt this without full PPE — an N95 mask is not sufficient. 3. Wet Treatment of Droppings — Before any removal, all droppings and contaminated material are thoroughly saturated with a hospital-grade EPA-registered disinfectant. This critical step kills pathogens and prevents aerosolization. This is the step most DIYers skip — and the most dangerous one to skip. 4. Careful Removal — Contaminated material is carefully removed, bagged, and disposed of in accordance with biohazard waste protocols. 5. Full Surface Disinfection — All affected surfaces are treated with disinfectant, including wood framing, subflooring, joists, and any structural components that were exposed to rodent waste. 6. Deodorization — We address odor at the source, not just with masking agents. As a side note: in many attic cleanups, insulation that has been heavily contaminated or compromised by rodents needs to be removed and replaced. We can facilitate this as part of the overall remediation process.
We understand the impulse. You found some droppings in the attic, you grab a broom and a trash bag, and you start cleaning. But here's the problem — the moment you sweep those droppings without proper wet treatment first, you are potentially aerosolizing hantavirus particles. You are breathing them in. And hantavirus doesn't care how healthy you are. Beyond hantavirus, rodent droppings can also carry: • Leptospirosis • Salmonella • Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) • E. coli • Histoplasmosis (from bat and bird droppings) The bottom line: rodent droppings cleanup requires professional training, the right disinfectants, proper PPE, and experience. It is a biohazard job — not a janitorial one.
Bio-One of Huntsville proudly serves Huntsville and the surrounding communities including Madison, Athens, Decatur, Hartselle, Arab, Guntersville, Scottsboro, Fort Payne, Cullman, Florence, Muscle Shoals, Sheffield, Tuscumbia, and throughout the Tennessee Valley region. We respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — because a biohazard doesn't wait for business hours.

When law enforcement deploys tear gas inside a home or rental property, the aftermath can be devastating — and dangerous. If you're a homeowner or landlord in North Alabama dealing with the fallout from a police incident, Bio-One of Huntsville is here to help. We specialize in professional tear gas cleanup and decontamination, and we offer free inspections to assess the damage.
Tear gas — most commonly CS gas or OC (pepper spray) compounds — doesn't just disappear when the air clears. The chemical agents used by law enforcement are designed to be persistent and penetrating. After a deployment inside a structure, these compounds:
Many property owners make the mistake of airing out the home and thinking the problem is solved. It isn't. Without professional decontamination, residents — including children, elderly individuals, and pets — can be re-exposed to harmful chemical residue every time they enter the property. Tenants have even pursued legal action against landlords who failed to properly clean up after law enforcement incidents.
Our technicians are trained in the full decontamination process required to safely remediate a property after tear gas deployment. Here's what our process looks like:
We work quickly and discreetly, understanding that these situations are often stressful and sensitive for property owners and their families.
Tear gas remediation is often covered under homeowners or landlord insurance policies. Bio-One works directly with insurance companies to document the damage and streamline the claims process, so you're not left navigating the paperwork alone.
As North Alabama's trusted biohazard remediation company, Bio-One handles the jobs that others won't. Our full range of services includes:
No matter the situation, our team approaches every job with professionalism, compassion, and discretion.
If your property in North Alabama has been affected by tear gas or any other biohazard situation, don't wait. The longer chemical residue sits, the deeper it penetrates — and the more costly the remediation becomes. Call us today for a free inspection and let Bio-One take it from here. We serve Huntsville, Madison, Athens, Decatur, Scottsboro, Cullman and all of North Alabama.

What is the Secret Behind Those Cute Racoons?
Wrong! They can invade attics for warmth, food if any is stored there, or for giving birth to large numbers of babies. But that’s only scratching the surface!
They usually enter attics, through some sort of entrance that is unsealed. And they cause significant damage there, by tearing apart insulation, chewing through electrical wiring insulation – leading to risk of fire or short circuits, and creating holes in the roof – facilitating water leaks that lead to deadly mold growth. And structural damage such as chewed up shingles, siding, and wooden frames around their point of entry. HVAC units in the attic can have ductwork damage.
Racoon urine contaminates the attic floor and sends particulates into the air – spreading possible Leptospirosis which can cause kidney and liver failure, or salmonella, again by touching the fecal droppings.
First, find a reputable pest control to come and remove the racoon(s). Second, call a trustworthy insulation installer to come remove the contaminated insulation. The most renown insulation Company in Alabama is Insulation Plus located in Huntsville – also serving Madison, Decatur, Athens, Hazel Green, Gurley, Meridianville, Scottsboro, Guntersville, Union Grove, Lacey’s Spring, Priceville, Ardmore, and surrounding areas. Renown because of their expertise in what they do, the high-quality materials they use, and their personalized service.
Fourth and final, Insulation Plus will return and re-insulate your attic. They also offer an abundance of other vital services: Insulation system upgrades (retrofitting); sealing gaps to eliminate air drafts; creating a ‘protective envelope’ to reduce heat transfer, optimizing the new insulation; clean and organize the attic; and ‘Blower Door’ testing to expose all of your home’s air leaks so that they can be sealed.
All estimates for any service are FREE!
Note: If there is any structural damage, if you are a DIY person, you’ll have to fix that. Or, you can call a handyman or home contractor.
And there’s a Bonus! Insulation Plus is part of Tennessee Valley Authority’s Quality Contractor Network. Using Insulation Plus services can qualify you for up to $800.00 in combined attic insulation and air sealing rebates. Andyou can claim up to 30% of the materials cost as a federal tax credit!
Lastly, you’ll have your home back to the condition it should be: sealed off. The Varmint Hotel is out of business!

Here at Bio-One, we specialize in all things crawl space cleanup. Typically this includes mold remediation, critter droppings cleanup and deodorization - but very often this also requires crawl space insulation removal.
Fiberglass insulation batts in homes' crawl spaces used to be standard, but building science today has changed, and now it is no longer recommended to have insulation in your crawlspace.
In Alabama's moist, humid climate, the insulation actually acts like a sponge, and traps unwanted moisture which then sits on your home's wood members.
What does that end up doing? It creates an ideal breeding ground for mold.
If you are smelling musty smells, have mold growth in your crawl space, or are simply looking to upgrade your home's insulation, please give us a call.
We also work a local insulation company - Insulation Plus - who can help you with crawl space solutions, attic and wall insulation, and professional air sealing - all benefiting your home's "tightness" and allowing you to benefit from TVA rebates.
Give Bio-One a call today at 256-677-6111. We serve Huntsville, Madison, Scottsboro, Athens, Decatur, Guntersville and all of North Alabama.
