I can't answer that question, but recently I've been on Sit Means Sit Dog Training Show on KIDO 580 at 2pm on Saturday's.  I've enjoyed talking with Jim the dog trainer and host, because if you look at the relationship we clean up the mess, make the odor go away, he teaches the dog to not pee or I guess instruct you to teach them, it's a partnership that we all want to focus on.  I just recently found two corners in my house that a cat has been peeing in the corner.  I took out my black light, I put tape on all the areas, marked each spot and the next day I treated it with a topical treatment.  If your going to have animals in the home, you will have accidents, and you don't have to live with the smell.  Listen to Jim's show as it's very helpful for training your dogs.

 We just had a client call yesterday that had us and another company bid against each other for a mold remediation.  When does mold happen?  When a structure has a water damage, it sits wet for 72 hours or longer fungal growth starts to develop.  You will start to have musty odors, black staining of surfaces, swelling of wood or flooring.  Most times it's not till these things happen that someone becomes motivated to do something that they should have done in the first place.  Realizing that people may think it will just dry out, or its expensive, or whatever causes people to hesitate calling a professional we try to cover people in that situation. We have a FREE service for people that we will come out and provide a moisture evaluation to tell you what's wet, what's not, what needs to be done and depending on what your needs are for your water damage we will rent you the proper equipment or provide labor and equipment to remediate the damage and work with your insurance company to get your water damage restoration cost covered under you homeowners insurance.  Understand that when you wait it costs money.  Waiting means that the water will absorb deeper into the materials and if mold forms, then a lot of times its tearing it out and replacing it rather than just drying it out.  Drywall, carpeting, hardwood floors, cabinets, and lots of other structural materials can be dried and restored.  As always we are here to help, email, phone call, 24 hours a day, we just want to make sure your water damage is taken care of properly.  Brandon Wright

Being in the cleaning business, people don't realize everything thing we clean up.  It could be a fire damage restoration, flood restoration, carpet cleaning, mold remediation or abatement, odor removal, dead carcuss removal, skunk odor, urine odor, mildew removal, or other things like this that people never expect, mice droppings, bat guano, bio medical (bodily fluids), and the list goes on.  What made me think about everything that we do to blog about was that we show up each day and unexpectedly get a call for something that we've never done, or maybe only one of us has done it before, but that brings me to our latest story.  We received a call from someone who stores their late model SUV in a barn in McCall as they only frequent McCall as a vacation place.  Well mice ended up living in the car, creating nests, having babies, making a terrible odor that you wouldn't even be able to drive down the road in with your windows down.  Here was the protocal: first disassemble all pieces of the vehicle to find the mice, their nest, and any babies.  This isn't your normal clean the carpet and seats, set the ozone machine and your done.  We took everything apart.  Luckily one of our technicians Rob has lots of mechanical experience to quickly take the car apart (it would have taken me days).  Once we removed everything we found several nests inside the blower motor of the heating system, and inside the body.  Rob and Nicanor actually made a suction tube 1/2 inch in diameter duct taped to the hepa vac to retrieve droppings in tight hidden areas.  The mice droppings can carry a disease called the Hanta Virus which is carried through your respiratory system which could be fatal.  Removing the droppings, disinfecting all surfaces, decontaminating all parts, with a final pressure wash then an ozone treatment this car will be ready for putting back together.  However we will leave that to Cope Collision.  Your car can be a haven for dirt, molds, and other things that aren't healthy for you.  Get your car or truck into UltraClean for an auto detail.  This month's special is for a car inside and out is $99 and if its a truck add another $50.  And it doesn't have to have mice haven, just you wanting a clean healthy car or truck.  Brandon Wright
