Bird Carcass Removal - Avian Bird Flu

At Mario's Pest Control we ensure that carcasses are disposed of in an environmentally responsible way. Mario's Pest Control follows all the CDC, USDA, and NJ FISH and GAME guidelines. We have had the pleasure of helping local government agencies during the avian bird flu removal process.

Prevents Disease Spread: In cases of avian influenza or other infectious diseases, bird carcasses can be a source of viral or bacterial contamination. Prompt removal minimizes the risk of transmission to other birds, animals, and humans.
Public Health Protection: Safely removing and disposing of carcasses prevents the spread of zoonotic diseases that could impact human health. This is particularly crucial in commercial poultry operations or areas with high concentrations of wild birds.
Environmental Safety: Carcasses that are not disposed of properly can decompose and release harmful pathogens into the environment, such as water sources, soil, and air.

Mario' Pest Control takes safety very seriously and uses the proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) During Carcass Removal

PPE is essential when handling bird carcasses to ensure the safety of the personnel involved and to prevent contamination.

PPE Disposal:
After handling the bird carcasses, all PPE is properly disposed of in biohazard waste containers to ensure that any infectious material is contained and disposed of safely. In some cases, PPE may be disinfected before removal if reusable.
Hand Hygiene:
Handwashing with soap and water or using hand sanitizers is performed immediately after removing PPE to ensure any potential contamination is eliminated.
Monitoring and Reporting:
It’s critical that proper records are kept for the removal of carcasses, including the number of carcasses removed, the disposal method used, and any relevant findings. This helps ensure compliance with local regulations and facilitates tracking in case of future outbreaks.
