Common ones include blood, vomit, feces, sewage, mold, pest droppings and dead animals. Illness spread by sick residents can also leave germs on surfaces. Some of these need professional biohazard specialists.

Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and what records you get. Request references and a clear description of the steps. Then decide whether the company fits your needs.
