Many companies provide similar services to Bio-One, but none of them come close to our standards and certifications. Bio-One of Oceanside is more than just cleanup. Our desire to help our community during difficult times sets us apart.
Bio-One of Oceanside works closely with local law enforcement, victim advocates groups, emergency responders, and public services agencies to provide a service that goes beyond cleaning (Still, we are the #1 Disinfection, Sanitation, and Decontamination Specialist in Oceanside, CA, and surrounding communities!)

In the face of an unexpected scenario, like a suicide cleanup or a crime and trauma scene cleanup, taking care of cleaning these situations by yourself can be painful and overwhelming. These are traumatic situations that require help from professionals. Bio-One of Oceanside's services include expert cleaning, sanitation, and decontamination. Our certified technicians can remediate the biohazards that emerge from these events.

We are mindful of you and your loved ones.
As difficult as these situations can be, you are never alone. Besides Bio-One’s family, multiple organizations can provide you with emotional support during the transition of these traumatic events.

Controlling the humidity and moisture levels inside the house or property is the most efficient way to prevent mold from growing and causing problems to our health and the deterioration of our home. Bio-One of Oceanside, a Micro Certified Mold Remediation Contractor, shares the four most dangerous Molds that grow in Indoor Environments and how our mold cleanup and remediation specialists can help you remove and remediate your house or property from them.
Mold is very common in outdoor and indoor environments. Outdoors, mold is part of the natural ecosystem, as it helps decompose dead organic matter (e.g., leaves, dead trees, animals), so we’re always in the presence of mold.
Now, while mold is inevitably present in indoor environments, the impact that it will have on your health will depend on how mold is controlled. Mold needs water or moisture to grow and disseminate, so it’s important to promptly fix any water-related issues like leaky pipes and leaks on the roofs, windows, and other areas in your house or property.
Stachybotrys chartarum is commonly known as “black mold,” and it’s one of the most dangerous and common types of mold in indoor environments. This type of mold can grow in organic materials like fiberboard, carton board, gypsum board, wallpaper, and others.
The combination of moisture and these organic materials makes up the perfect place for mold to grow quickly and disseminate. Mold feeds from the surface where it’s growing to the point of consuming it. This represents a structural safety risk for your house or property. Bio-One of Oceanside's mold cleanup and remediation technicians have assisted properties where the foundations have experienced deterioration from mold damage, so you must attack mold from the moment you see signs of damage.
Stachybotrys chartarum can also have severe health repercussions, especially for people suffering from pre-existing conditions. Continuous “black mold” exposure can cause diarrhea, flu-like symptoms (runny nose, sneezing, and coughing), and other respiratory problems.
Bio-One of Oceanside's specialists can help you assess the level of damage in your house and property and, using EPA-approved chemicals, follow strict guidelines to remediate areas impacted by mold.
Aspergillus is another type of mold present in both outdoor and indoor environments. It’s common for people to breathe Aspergillus spores daily, so it’s not considered a threat to humans. However, when Aspergillus spores concentrate in small, dark, indoor environments, they can cause respiratory problems for people with pre-existing medical conditions.
Aspergillus is the cause of Aspergillosis, an infection that affects people with a weakened immune system. Aspergillosis infection signs include constant allergies, lung infection (which translates into difficulty breathing), and infection in other body parts. There are multiple types of Aspergillosis, each affecting the body differently.
Bio-One of Oceanside's mold cleanup and remediation technicians are professionally trained to clean areas from mold damage. Our technicians evaluate the area with special equipment to guarantee a successful removal of mold in your house or property.
PENICILLIUM - DANGEROUS IF CONCENTRATED INDOORS
Like Aspergillus, this type of mold is very common in outdoor and indoor environments. Penicillium plays an important role in the natural environment outdoors, as it’s responsible for processes like food spoilage. In an indoor environment, however, represents a high risk of allergy and other pathologies, and spores can easily travel through the air and contaminate poorly stored food and other household supplies.
Penicillium is particularly difficult to address indoors because it only requires a minimum humidity level to grow. Like most types of mold, it will feed and consume the organic matter from where it’s growing, and it can have repercussions on people struggling with allergies and other respiratory problems.
The mold cleanup and remediation process should be done by Professionals. Inadequate mold remediation can lead to more severe health problems and complete damage to building structures and items. Bio-One of Oceanside is a Micro Cerfified Mold Remediation Contractor. Our specialists can dispose of any items infested with mold, guaranteeing a safe, hazard-free environment.
Chaetomium is similar to Stachybotrys chartarum because they both can fit into the “black mold” category because they share the same conditions to grow. It's very common in damp areas and areas where there’s water damage.
Like most types of mold, Chaetomium is disseminated through spores that travel in the air, quickly growing in organic matter with moisture, like drywall, paperboard, carpet, and flooring.
Chaetomium mold has a distinctive blackish appearance, similar to Stachybotrys chartarum, and the smell is very musty. If your house or property has experienced water damage from flooding, leaks, or broken plumbing, it’s important to remove and take out any items that might be moist (like carpets or furniture).
If you see any signs of black mold growing on your walls, floor, or other areas, do not hesitate to call a professional. Mold is very persistent; sometimes, it can grow in the darkest and most complex areas. Bio-One of Oceanside's mold cleanup and remediation technicians will make sure to thoroughly inspect your house or property to remediate areas that might be present.
If you’re struggling with mold in your house or property, let Bio-One of Oceanside help you. We are Micro Certified Mold Remediation Contractors, which means that our team is trained to assess the level of damage and, following cautious procedures, they can properly clean and remediate mold from any affected areas. Sometimes, mold remediation entails tearing out and reconstructing, but your well-being makes up for any reparation that might come with removing mold from your house or property.

As Fentanyl overdose-related deaths keep rising in San Diego County, a health order with immediate effect was signed on May 21, 2021, to help save the lives of people who might be at risk of a Fentanyl overdose. The order will allow the general public to have access to Naloxone (commercially available as Narcan® Nasal Spray), a medicine that quickly reverses the effects of an overdose and can potentially save the life of someone.
In the forthcoming months, Naloxone nasal sprays will be available for free at clinics and community health centers, although exact locations are yet to be announced.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid described by health professionals as “up to 100 times more powerful than morphine”. The Food and Drug Administration approves it as an analgesic and anesthetic. Fentanyl is usually prescribed to patients with severe, chronic pain.
Emergency responders are now being more exposed to fentanyl and its dangerous effects, as overdose-related deaths have continuously increased since 2017. Furthermore, CDC suggests that the death increase might be related to the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Bio-One of Oceanside shares 4 dangers of fentanyl and how to recognize an overdose. As the last responders, Bio-One of Oceanside is trained to clean and decontaminate areas from fentanyl residue, whether it’s airborne or spread through surfaces.
Fentanyl is a very strong opioid, and it can be prescribed and administered in multiple dosage forms: oral, sublingual tablets and sprays, nasal sprays, transdermal patches, and injectable formulations. Commercial names include Actiq® (oral), Duragesic® (transdermal patches), and Sublimaze® (sublingual spray).
Because of its strong effects, there’s a small difference between receiving a therapeutic dose to overdosing. It must be administered under strict medical control.
If you or someone you know is struggling with Fentanyl addiction and is at risk of overdosing, don’t hesitate to contact your local Emergency responders. They can intervene in the early stages of people at higher risk of overdose. Bio-One of Oceanside can help you dispose of the dangers of fentanyl and other biohazardous residues to keep your house and your loved ones safe.
Due to its powerful effects on the brain, continuous use of Fentanyl (even prescribed by doctors) can lead to dependence, sometimes leading to addiction. Fentanyl effects usually include:
Furthermore, if a person develops an addiction to Fentanyl, they’ll enter a strong, severe case of SUD (Substance Use Disorder). If the person stops taking Fentanyl, they can experience withdrawal effects, which could be fatal in some cases.
The most disturbing fact about Fentanyl, and drugs in general, is that people will struggle to stop taking them because of the intense effects of withdrawal. This creates an extremely dangerous environment for the person struggling with Fentanyl dependence/addiction and those around them.
Bio-One of Oceanside's specialists are professionally trained to tackle the dangers of fentanyl. We can provide remediation to houses, commercial properties, vehicles, and ambulance/emergency vehicles.
Illegal Fentanyl is usually made in labs and mixed with other drugs. Synthetic fentanyl can be illegally sold as a powder solution, put into eye droppers and nasal sprays, prepared for blotter paper, and it’s even made into pills that could be mistaken for prescription opioids.
Drug dealers mix fentanyl with other drugs because the effects of Fentanyl are more potent than most drugs, so if it’s mixed with heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamines, the effects of fentanyl will be greater and cheaper. This factor elevates the risk of addiction and fentanyl overdose. The effects of an overdose are more difficult to treat in these cases, as you don’t know with certainty which drugs the person overdosed from.
Emergency responders are exposed to the dangers of fentanyl and other illicit substances during their job. As we previously stated, illegal fentanyl is usually mixed with cocaine, methamphetamines, and other opioids to elevate their effect.
Bio-One of Oceanside recommends always using the proper PPE and other protective gear like nitrile gloves, respiratory protection, and avoiding touching eyes, nose, or mouth during a potential drug-related scenario.
Carrying Naloxone nasal sprays is a MUST, as it’s a potential lifesaver in case someone overdoses.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recognizing an opioid overdose can be difficult. You must call 911 in case of an overdose emergency. Signs of an overdose include:
Carrying Naloxone can potentially save the life of someone overdosing. Fentanyl overdoses must be treated immediately. A person can die from it within minutes. Do not leave the person alone while you wait for emergency responders and medical experts to arrive. Naloxone doses can block the most severe effect of an overdose: difficulty breathing.
With the new order in effect, you will find Naloxone nasal sprays for free at clinics and community health centers. Specific places will be determined soon. Learn more about Narcan® Nasal Spray (Commercial brand for Naloxone) and how to get it from your Insurance Company or Pharmacist here.
If you know someone struggling with fentanyl addiction and at risk of overdose, Bio-One of Oceanside can help you. We work closely with first responders, Local Law Enforcement, and Public Service Agencies to provide you with immediate assistance in case of an emergency.

Water-related issues usually cause mold damage. Water leaks in your roof, doors, and windows; broken pipes… all of these problems result in mold growth and dissemination. We are sharing four reasons to call mold remediation professionals like Bio-One. If you’re dealing with mold in your house or property, Bio-One of Oceanside specialists are Micro-certified Mold Remediation Contractors ready to help you.
Mold grows on almost any surface, as it’s present in the air in indoor and outdoor environments. We deal with mold daily, and it’s not a problem if it doesn’t have contact with water. Mold is necessary to decompose organic matter in outdoor environments like dead trees, leaves, and animals.
Indoor environments can’t be free of mold completely. While you can’t control mold from entering our houses or properties, you can control humidity levels so that it doesn’t represent a threat. Bio-One of Oceanside has learned that mold can cause severe damage to houses and business properties because it grows fast, consumes drywall, wooden constructions, and carpeting, and weakens building structures.
Mold is likely to grow in humid, damp areas. If you have structural damage in your house or property, like damage to your roof, gutters, or leaky pipes, even if your HVAC system is having problems, these elements can cause mold to grow inside your house.
Bio-One of Oceanside's technicians are specially trained to identify and contain the root cause of mold and disinfect areas that have been impacted by mold. Sometimes, a restoration job needs to be done afterward, but it’s all a consequence of mold damage. The important thing is to eliminate active mold and control the humidity levels in your house or property so that mold doesn’t grow back.
Mold has a distinctive smell. It’s similar to the smell of wet clothing, or an earthy essence that stays in your nose, it can be very intense, depending on the mold presence in the property.
These odors can cause health problems for some people. Not everyone is sensitive to mold in the same way, but people dealing with pre-existing conditions like asthma or respiratory issues are more exposed to health risks associated with mold damage.
Using industry-leading procedures and equipment, Bio-One of Oceanside’s mold remediation professionals can disinfect areas impacted by mold, eliminating the source of growth and removing the strong odor that mold damage can leave on your house or property.
Once mold has grown and caused damage to an indoor environment, it’s necessary to inspect the air quality of your property and contain the areas where mold levels are high. If you find mold in your kitchen area, for example, the correct procedure is to seal the area while we take care of the remediation process.
Bio-One of Oceanside's specialists are trained to properly contain and dispose of any material that has been damaged by mold, ensuring that it’s safely removed from your house or property in a timely matter.
Mold spores can easily travel through the HVAC system and cause further damage to your house or property. If not contained properly, mold can continue to grow and disseminate in dark, closed areas like the attic, basement, or crawl spaces.
Once a property has been impacted by mold, it’s important to hire a professional who guarantees that mold will stop growing inside your house or property. Besides, a Mold Remediation Professional can guide you through the process of fixing the areas that need to be fixed and control humidity levels to keep a fungal ecology in the property.
As we mentioned before, sometimes mold remediation entails tearing out and reconstructing areas where mold was present. Still, your health and your family’s health are what needs to prevail in these situations.
Our team of specialists at Bio-One of Oceanside is ready to help you eliminate mold in your house or property.

We share 4 ways mold can affect you and how Bio-One of Oceanside can remove mold safely. Our specialists are ready to help you if you’re struggling with mold. Mold is a type of fungi that can be found in both outdoor and indoor environments. Getting rid of mold spores is impossible, and you can’t control mold from entering your house. What you can do to prevent mold damage (in indoor environments especially) is control the moisture levels in your house or property.
Mold spores activate when interacting with water and humidity. If you’re struggling with leaky roofs or broken pipes in the bathroom or kitchen area, you might have to deal with potential mold damage as well.
Bio-One of Oceanside technicians have learned that mold can have various health effects, and some people are more sensitive to mold damage than others. However, once mold has disseminated through any surface, it can consume it very quickly, so it’s important to attack and remediate any visible mold damage promptly.
Mold can cause respiratory and flu-like ailments like stuffy nose, coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. People with pre-existing conditions like asthma can be more affected by mold.
Mold can also disseminate and travel through HVAC systems, exposing the person to it in all areas of the house or property. If you’re struggling with mold damage in your house or property and you suffer from respiratory conditions like asthma or lung complications, our Team of Specialists at Bio-One of Oceanside strongly recommends staying away from these environments as you focus on remediating the areas affected by mold.
Bio-One of Oceanside’s specialists use EPA-approved materials and equipment to remediate areas affected by mold properly. It’s important to attack and clean mold before it causes irreparable damage to your house, but most importantly, your health.
Mold damage is visible. It can look like black dots on the affected surface or black/multicolor rings in various sizes. If it’s on walls, the painting will start to peel off and show these signs of damage.
Mold can grow on surfaces in the presence of moisture and water. Concrete walls, dry-wall, glass doors and windows, clothing, books, kitchen cabinets… mold can grow anywhere and people with weakened immune systems can have allergic reactions from having direct continuous exposure to mold.
If you’re struggling with mold damage in your house or property, let Bio-One of Oceanside’s specialists remove mold from your property. We’ll make sure you return to a safe environment, free from mold exposure that can put your life at risk.
Mold plays a fundamental role in nature. It’s responsible for breaking down leaves, fallen trees, animals, and organic matter. In indoor environments, mold is also present, as mold spores travel through the air, and it’s impossible to keep them from coming in. The problem starts when humidity levels inside the property are out of control.
Mold will grow and disseminate in areas where moisture is present. Mold is very persistent and may consume the surface where it’s growing if it’s organic. What does this mean? It means that mold will consume walls, wooden material, paper, and more.
If you think your house or property has water-related problems, Bio-One of Oceanside’s specialists can help you remove mold from these areas, ensuring all surfaces are free from infection. Sometimes, items must be discarded for irremediable damage. Our Specialists will determine which items and areas need to be contained and isolated to keep you and your family safe from mold.
Mold quickly disseminates through HVAC systems, which means that if there’s mold in your garage, laundry room area, or bathroom, it’s likely that it’ll spread through the rest of the house. Indoor mold spores are not a problem as long as they don’t interact with water or damp environments.
If you attack mold problems as soon as you detect them, your house is at risk of suffering severe structural damage. Mold can affect house foundations, wall covering and structures, staircases, carpeting, and roofing.
A Professional in mold remediation can help you assess mold damage and properly assist you in the sanitation of your home.
Remember, mold can grow on any surface. The most effective way to prevent mold from causing damage to your house or property is by:

The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that there had been 131 fentanyl-related deaths in San Diego County this year alone. By the end of 2021, local authorities are projecting around 700 fentanyl-related deaths. Bio-One of Oceanside is sharing the dangers of fentanyl with the hope of informing the community about the increasing threat of this drug and how you can immediately help someone if they have a fentanyl overdose.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid used to treat severe pain in patients who had recent surgery or suffer from advanced stages of cancer. Due to its nature and relation with cancer and other chronic diseases, Fentanyl can be found legally as a prescription medication (commercial names include Actiq®, Duragesic®, and Sublimaze®).
Fentanyl abuse has increased in the past years for its similar effects to heroin. Illegally, Fentanyl is mixed and distributed with other drugs like heroin and cocaine to increase the “euphoric” effect.
Doctors can prescribe pharmaceutical Fentanyl as shots, skin patches, or throat lozenges. Depending on the patient’s response within the first 72 hours of treatment, doctors will increase or decrease the dosage.
Now, illegal fentanyl is typically sold as a powder, but it can be found as nasal sprays, made into pills to look like other prescription medication, and sold as another drug.
Drug dealers mix fentanyl with other opioids like heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine. Since it takes very little to obtain effects from fentanyl, it represents a cheap option to create a higher drug volume. People might use illegal fentanyl mixed with other drugs without their knowledge, and the consequences could be fatal.
Bio-One of Oceanside follows strict protocols to remediate and disinfect areas from fentanyl properly, whether it’s from needles and other biohazardous waste or contaminated surfaces from a fentanyl overdose case.
Public and community-based organizations are raising awareness of the importance of having Naloxone as a first-hand medication to treat opioid overdose.
Naloxone is a medication used to reverse the effects of opioid overdose rapidly. It’s effective in quickly restoring the breathing of a person who might be in a state of overdose. While it’s not meant to treat opioid use disorder, Naloxone can be a life-saving medication for someone who is at a high risk of opioid overdose. Commercial names include Narcan, Evzio, or Kloxxado.
Professionals should carry out naloxone injections. Naxolone Prepackaged Nasal Spray is the most suitable option for non-professionals who might need to use Naloxone in case of an emergency.
Regardless of which delivery method you have to use in case of an opioid overdose, you should always receive proper training on how and when is the correct moment to use Naloxone.
In the face of a Fentanyl overdose, emergency responders' assistance can save the life of the person suffering from it. Fentanyl has multiple routes of exposure: inhalation, oral exposure or ingestion, or skin contact. You must call 911 immediately, as they have the necessary training and PPE equipment to assist a person who might be on fentanyl overdose.
Our Team of Specialists at Bio-One of Oceanside specializes in cleaning and disinfecting any environments contaminated by fentanyl, whether it’s from airborne conditions or surfaces in the presence of it. We will assist you with utmost care and compassion, ensuring that the area returns to its original, pre-incident state. Following strict guidelines and protocols, Bio-One of Oceanside technicians guarantee a complete disinfecting solution for fentanyl-associated biohazards.

Individuals struggling with animal hoarding might not be aware of the unintentional harm they’re inflicting on the animals because they believe they’re doing the right thing by keeping them out of the streets. Hoarding is a complex issue. Fortunately, help is available. Bio-One of Oceanside’s animal hoarding cleanup technicians know that hoarding can be perceived by many as just a problem that needs to be solved, addressed, and taken care of… without looking into the root of the problem.
A person struggling with animal hoarding is most likely to be struggling with mental health issues, and they need help (even if they don’t see it) instead of being treated as a problem.
Now, there’s no denying that hoarding is a public health issue. However, it doesn’t mean that it should be addressed without compassion and empathy, especially when it comes to animal hoarding, an extreme situation where everyone’s lives are affected, especially the lives of the creatures the individual mistakes as helping.
Many people have multiple pets, which doesn’t make them animal hoarders. Animal hoarding is the specific situation where an individual is housing more animals than they can take care of with minimum health, sanitation, and welfare standards. The most common signs of an individual struggling with animal hoarding include:
People struggling with animal hoarding won’t admit that they have a problem. They might have the best intention of helping and taking care of animals, but the living conditions associated with extreme animal housing make it difficult or almost impossible to provide decent care to these creatures. And not only are the animals affected, but the individuals as well.
This represents an important biohazard risk of infection for animals and individuals. If animals don’t have areas designated for feeding, bathing, and physiological needs, they risk getting sick and infected from waste.
As for humans, they are highly susceptible to these dangerous environments. The sad part of this narrative is that individuals struggling with animal hoarding will go out of their way to try to accommodate animals, so much so that they’ll neglect themselves, not knowing that animals are also being affected by this dangerous cycle.
Animal urine and feces create ammonia gases that can be toxic to humans. Also, a house with poor, unhealthy living conditions usually has very low air quality because of contamination and filth. This is a special health risk for everyone involved, as they can become ill from breathing this toxic air. Bio-One’s animal hoarding cleanup technicians are prepared to effectively contain and remediate areas affected by animal feces and urine, ensuring the environment returns to a habitable, safe state for everyone involved.
Animal hoarding scenarios are difficult to approach. It’s hard to see someone who might be willing to help animals being overwhelmed by their misunderstanding, sense of responsibility, and frustration from not being able to provide better care for the creatures they care for.
Animals suffer from not having adequate living conditions, and it’s not something they can control… after all, they are animals. An individual struggling with animal hoarding is overwhelmed and unable to provide decent health and nutrition to these creatures. Both animals and individuals are just trapped in this mistaken, misguided intention of helping, loving, and being loved.
In the most extreme cases, animals can die in these deplorable conditions, so it’s important to attack a possible hoarding situation with extreme care and compassion for everyone involved.
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Ⓡ (ASPCA) listed simple ways to help individuals and animals that might be victims of hoarding situations:
If someone you know is struggling with animal hoarding, let Bio-One assist and help you.

During winter, rodents like mice and rats usually seek food and shelter in warm spaces. They will make their way through the smallest holes, cracks, and gaps in our house or property. If you want to remove rodent droppings from your home, you should pay attention to the most common rodent-borne diseases and how our technicians can help you.
Once they’re inside, mice and rats create nests and hide in closed, dark spaces where there’s usually not too much traffic: attics, garages, crawlspaces, and even wall voids. The main problem with rodents is the viruses that come from their urine and droppings.
Rodent urine and droppings contain multiple bacteria. It’s the cause of dangerous diseases and viruses that can start from simple flu-like symptoms to severe respiratory failure. Mice and rats can also represent structural damage due to the decomposition of this waste.
Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease caused by the genus Leptospira. Sometimes, it’s difficult to detect because of its symptomatology. Leptospirosis bacteria are spread through the urine of infected animals and can also be carried through water and soil. It’s a strong bacteria that can survive for several months in damp environments.
In humans, Leptospirosis can cause the following symptoms that include:
If your house suffered from flooding recently, it’s even more important to locate areas where the water supply could have been compromised. Leptospirosis can enter our body through skin and mucus. If you have domestic animals like dogs or cats, keep them away from closed, poorly ventilated areas where mice and rats may hide.
You should hire professionals to remove rodent droppings, as these bacteria can spread airborne if not contained properly. Our team of professionals is certified and ready to help you in case you find rodent droppings in your house or property.
Arenavirus compounds a family of viruses known as Arenaviridae. Depending on the host or species that transmit the virus, symptoms can variate, although the most common are Flu-like symptoms and Hemorrhagic fiver.
Humans get infected by Arenaviruses by having contact with rodent excrement or contact infected surfaces. If the person has an open wound and it’s close to an area affected by rodent excrement, they can get infected by Arenaviruses. It can even be transmitted through contaminated food or water.
Mice and rats can hide in the clutter. We strongly recommend keeping boxes off the floor and maintaining these areas organized. Bio-One technicians will help you declutter any area. We can also remove rodent droppings following strict protocols and procedures to disinfect and disinfect any surface affected by the infestation.
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a respiratory disease caused by contact with rodents that carry this virus. It’s a severe illness that could be fatal if not treated promptly.
The main source of infection is rodent infestation in houses or properties. While this disease has not been reported to affect domestic pets, it can still infect the household by bringing in rodents.
In the US, there are many variations of the HPS. Depending on the area, tracking down which species is more likely to carry the virus might be possible. Rodents transmit HPS via urine, droppings, nesting, and airborne transmission. They will make their way through clutter and debris to create the ideal environment for infectious diseases.
Cleaning an area affected by rodents (urine, droppings, saliva) can be difficult because even infected surfaces represent a risk of infection. Bio-One can remove rodent droppings and animal waste from any residential or business property, ensuring your area is safe from bacteria and viruses.
Salmonellosis is a common human and animal disease caused by ingesting food contaminated by rodent excrement. They can carry the bacteria without showing any signs of infection, looking healthy and clean.
Hygiene is key to preventing Salmonellosis from attacking your account, house, and family. If you find any sign of rodents nesting in your garage or attic, address the situation and give Bio-One the opportunity of helping you if you fear the process can be dangerous for you and your loved ones.
If you own a rodent pet, we recommend the following:
Rodent infestations can represent serious problems for your house. From a health standpoint, it’s important to attack any scenario of clutter and debris because mice and rats usually nest in these areas.

Mold is more common than you think. It’s likely to grow in any place in the presence of moisture. Rainy weather, leaky pipes, and humidity are scenarios that can trigger mold infections, so it’s important to fix any water-related issue in your house to avoid dealing with mold.
Mold can grow on any surface, and depending on the level of contamination, it can be visible to the human eye. It can grow on wooden furniture, cardboard, ceiling tiles, carpets, flooring, upholstery, books, and even glass.
While there’s no scientific evidence that mold has direct consequences on health, constant exposure to moldy environments can result in respiratory-related issues.
On a bigger scale, mold can have health consequences on almost anyone. We have listed 4 concerns associated with mold exposure. We intend to shed light on the common issue of mold, and if you are dealing with a mold infection in your house or property, don’t hesitate to ask for help from a professional in mold remediation.
While no conclusive studies show severe health problems associated with mold exposure, many people can be affected by mold, depending on the person’s immune system and pre-existing medical conditions.
As mold grows, spores can transmit through the air. These spores can produce mycotoxins and other infectious compounds that affect the respiratory system: wheezing, stuffy nose, sore throat, flu-like symptoms, and asthma, among others. Other pathologies include red-eyed, sinusitis, and conjunctivitis.
Professionals should remediate areas and items affected by mold. Sometimes, these areas must be restored completely. As for items infected by mold, they can be irreversibly damaged. But it’s a decision that should be made by a professional in mold damage remediation.
One of the mold's biggest concerns is that it grows and feeds on organic matter. That’s why mold should be treated as soon as it’s detected. If mold enters into contact with walls, cardboard, flooring, carpeting, and upholstery, it will most likely contaminate and contaminate it to the point where it’s irreparable.
Mold can become a real inconvenience in terms of expenses and restoration costs. It should be treated before it damages these structures completely.
You should contact a professional in mold damage remediation to help you determine the level of damage in your property and what procedures should be followed to disinfect it from mold.
Mold spores can travel through the air and enter the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. The problem is that these areas are not visible and accessible for inspection and cleaning.
You should turn to a professional in mold damage remediation to properly clean and disinfect these areas because it’s a thorough inspection. Our team of specialists at Bio-One of Oceanside is trained to advise you in mold remediation. The main concern is finding the root of the mold damage, which, as we have mentioned, is usually related to a water leak problem.
Cleaning spaces and items infested with mold is a delicate task. If you search on the internet, the main products you’ll find to “attack” mold damage are bleach, ammonia, and soap. Please, DO NOT MIX these products. They can create dangerous, toxic vapors. You can access CDC’s Infographic on How to Clean Mold here.
If you feel unsure about proceeding with a mold disinfection process by yourself, let our Team of Specialists at Bio-One of Oceanside help you. We use EPA-Approved products to ensure complete remediation. We will assess affected items and will discard them if they represent a health risk for you and your loved ones.
Bio-One’s recommendation to prevent mold damage in your house or property is promptly fixing any water and moist-related issues:
