Exterior Inspection 

The initial inspection of the property found raccoon feces on the roof and in the back yard. The quantity was limited to a few droppings and was removed and sterilized in both areas. Raccoons tend to defecate in high places away from their nests but are also willing to defecate in their nesting area. Roves of sheds are very common and so are house roves. The most common location is on a back deck as the surface is different from the ground and raccoons perceive that as being separate from where they live.

Feces on the roof
Raccoon feces, even a small amount, is extremely dangerous and deadly. Touching it or inhaling it can get you very sick.
More feces on the roof
This feces is in a larger quantity and could leak to the ground when it rains, spreading the dangerous spores of raccoon roundworm to the walls and ground.

Initial Measures

The technician will then spray a hospital-grade botanical chemical sterilizer on the area, this sterilizer is available domestically but commercial-grade versions are much stronger and capable of completely killing the raccoon roundworm spores. When completed the area is deodorized to eliminate any remaining smells.
