Biohazards are any substances that pose a threat to the health of living organisms. Medical waste is any solid or liquid waste material generated in the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of humans or animals.
Also known as regulated medical waste, these materials can be infectious or non-infectious. Infectious medical waste includes contaminated items with blood or other body fluids that could contain harmful viruses or bacteria.
Non-infectious medical waste includes items that are not contaminated with blood or other body fluids but could still be dangerous if not handled properly.

Health care facilities generate a variety of wastes that must be managed appropriately to protect the public, healthcare workers, and the environment.

Biohazard cleaning is different than any other cleaning. It requires certification, special training, and, most importantly, a caring, compassionate approach to ensure that these situations are taken care of efficiently. Now, what is considered a biohazard, and when should you call Bio-One of Chula Vista’s biohazard cleaning specialists?
Tragedies and traumatic events can be challenging, not only because of the emotional stress that comes with dealing with the loss of a loved one but also because of the multiple health risks surrounding these scenarios.
Biohazards are, in simple words, biological materials that represent a health risk for humans, animals, and other living creatures. They are present in scenes involving blood and other waste like mold, human/animal waste, bodily fluids, and even industrial chemicals. Professionals must clean biohazards on time. Bio-One of Chula Vista is a certified biohazard cleanup specialist.
Crime scenes, homicide, and other traumatic events carry multiple biohazards. Often, there are bloodborne pathogens that must be cleaned immediately after the police and law enforcement agencies have completed an investigation and have left the scene. Bio-One of Chula Vista's specialists are available 24/7 - 365 days a year, to clean these situations with the utmost care, compassion, and privacy for the victims. Our certified technicians adhere to strict regulations and procedures to ensure all scenes return to a pre-incident state.
The loss of a loved one is difficult, especially if it is under traumatic circumstances. Attempting to clean the house or the scene from a suicide event or decomposition/undiscovered death can be traumatic and overwhelming, not to mention that it’s very dangerous. Leave Bio-One of Chula Vista's certified technicians to care for you and your loved ones. Our technicians are caring, mindful, and understanding of these challenging situations, and our goal is to get you to safety and remove the pain of having to clean up by yourself.
Bio-One of Chula Vista's specialists work with local law enforcement, public service agencies, and organizations to remediate hoarding and homeless encampment scenarios. These are especially delicate situations to tackle, as you might find multiple biohazards like decomposed material/food, human and animal waste, needles, and other residues that can be harmful. Our specialists follow strict OSHA guidelines and procedures to ensure these scenes are properly cleaned and disinfected.
Don’t ever expose yourself or your loved ones to these scenarios. Mold is the cause of several respiratory diseases and syndromes due to the airborne pathogens that are present in the air of highly contaminated scenes. The same goes for sewage backups, as the strong odors can affect your health in many ways. Bio-One of Chula Vista specialists’ work entails thoroughly revising the house or property to contain and remove any biohazards from the scene, ensuring the place is safe for the owners to return.

If by any chance you choose to take care of rodents by yourself and need help with cleaning and disinfecting your house or property from dead mice and rats, Bio-One of Chula Vista can also provide you with professional, guaranteed disinfection and sanitation from the dangers of rodent droppings. Even dead animals can carry multiple bacteria, which are usually airborne. So, if mice and rats die in crawl spaces or inside your HVAC System, you might need help from professionals to get to these areas and remove any biohazards.
If not treated by professionals, rodents can become a serious problem for your house or property. During wintertime, they seek protection from cold in dark places. Rodents can reproduce very quickly, creating a dangerous environment for you and your loved ones.
Rodents can transmit over 35 different types of diseases, and the most common is Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (also known as HPS). It’s a very dangerous disease that can be transmitted directly (from bite wounds and direct contact with urine and feces) or indirectly (by breathing contaminated air and dust). Residential properties are most affected by mice and rats. Rodent feces and droppings are known to be very infectious so it’s important to turn to a professional in disinfection and sanitation to remediate areas where rodents might have been present.
Rodents carry bacteria and diseases that can transmit to humans from direct contact or indirectly by being in the presence of highly infected areas. Rodents usually seek shelter indoors, primarily in dark areas like crawlspaces, garages, and attics. Cluttered spaces create a perfect environment for mice and rats to create nests. Bio-One of Chula Vista's specialists follow strict guidelines and procedures to remediate houses and properties if they’re involved in hoarding scenarios.
Filling gaps and entryways is the best way to prevent rodents from coming to your house or property. Rodents can squeeze through the smallest spaces, whether through doors, windows, or even small cracks in the floor.
According to the CDC, you can look for gaps or holes outside your property in the following spaces:
