Disinfecting your home or business from COVID-19
Earlier this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) moved Pima County’s COVID-19 status from substantial to high community transmission. We're seeing infections, hospitalizations, and deaths due to the Delta variant, all on the rise. As a community, we should do everything we can to prevent the spread to keep our coworkers, our families, and our community safe.
Bio-One is a trusted leader in the decontamination industry and employs certified technicians who provide expert cleanup services for coronavirus (COVID-19) disinfection, and regularly disinfects for bloodborne pathogens, viruses and bacteria such as HIV, Hepatitis, MRSA, canine parvovirus and many others. Teams use the appropriate disinfectant product and procedure when remediating. When a home or business has been impacted by coronavirus (COVID-19) or other viruses and bacteria, it should be cleaned as quickly as possible as surfaces could be contaminated for up to a week and in some situations, longer. These areas need to be cleaned professionally.
Bio-One experts adhere to strict OSHA regulations and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance when safely cleaning and disinfecting businesses, residential properties, vehicles and other properties as needed from coronavirus (COVID-19). Areas and materials impacted by pathogens and viruses are properly and discreetly disinfected, decontaminated and removed when necessary. The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is a serious situation and Bio-One is available to remediate and we fully understand the importance of keeping you, your family and employees healthy and safe. There is no need for you to remediate and disinfect these areas yourself – call the professionals at Bio-One.
Our teams carry out the cleaning and disinfection work in a caring and private manner and our professional crews are compassionate and discreet when working with families, property managers and business owners and are available 24/7. In addition to Bio-One providing coronavirus (COVID-19) disinfection and cleaning, crews also provide proactive cleaning to minimize the transmission of emerging viral pathogens. We also offer crime and trauma scene cleanup services, hoarding removal, mold remediation, emergency decontamination, and disinfection services for properties such as residential homes, vehicles, communities, and businesses.
*Bio-One’s cleaning protocol suppresses the spread and threat of coronavirus. However, there is no cleaning method in the world that guarantees total elimination of pathogens.
Bio-One of Tucson specializes in all types of clean up including coronavirus (COVID-19) disinfection and cleaning, crime and trauma scene cleanup, hoarding removal, mold remediation, emergency decontamination, disinfection services and more in Tucson and the surrounding communities in the following counties: Pima County, Pinal County, Yuma County, Cochise County, Santa Cruz County, Graham County, and Greenlee County.

Bed bugs are parasitic insects and are known for biting the exposed skin of sleeping humans as well as animals to feed on their blood. They are wingless, reddish brown, and small. Bed bugs usually reside in bed parts such as mattresses and objects near beds like picture frames and folded areas of furniture. Having a serious bed bug infestations may affect your mental and physical health.
Don’t let their small size fool you! Bed bugs may cause highly allergic reactions to your body if you do not take action to remediate them quickly and successfully. Bed bugs may also cause secondary infections of the skin due to the reaction of their bite. Some skin infections caused by bed bugs may include lymphangitis, impetigo and ecthyma and mental health problems include anxiety may also accompany a bed bug infestation. Remediation in any case plays a key role to avoid health related issues.
Professional Thermal Bedbug Remediation
Bio-One exterminates bed bugs using a heat extermination process. The infested space and surrounding walls are heated to a temperature above 125°F, killing all bed bugs and their eggs. No pesticides or other chemicals whatsoever will be used at any time.
Not only have pesticides become ineffective as bed bugs have developed resistance, but pesticides do not work without direct contact on insects. Compare this to heat: Bed bugs cannot become resistant to it, and heat waves get everywhere. Bio-One uses specialized equipment that is customized to the needs of each space. Our heating tools are designed specifically to spread, control, and monitor heat - getting it into hard-to-reach spaces inside walls and mattresses.
Thermal remediation is our preferred method because:
• Odor free
• Time sensitive and convenient, allowing for only one day of treatment
• Requires less preparation
How heat affects insects:
• 95–107.6°F Lower survival; prolonged developmental time; reduced egg production; insects seek cooler environment
• 107.7–113°F Death in less than a day
• 114–122°F Death in less than an hour, eggs become non-viable
• 143.6°F Death in less than a minute

Monsoon season is bliss and brings about a much needed break from the scorching sun and the sweltering heat. However, along with monsoon comes humidity, which gives birth to mold and mildew that can damage your walls, clothes, and even furniture. So, how can you prevent mold growth and keep the moisture at bay? Let's find out.
To combat mold growth, the very first thing you need to do is get rid of moisture from your home. Here are some tips to help you out:
● Buy a dehumidifier to remove humidity from the room
● Make sure your room gets sufficient sunlight throughout the day
● Clean water condensation as soon as you spot it
● Sprinkle baking soda on surfaces covered with moisture
● Wipe down your furniture using a dry towel or cloth
● Open the windows and doors to allow airflow and ventilation
Once you take measures for eliminating moisture, the next step is to get rid of the mold in your house and stop its growth. Here's how you can do that.
Some common places where you can find mold growth are under your kitchen sink, walls, furniture placed next to the walls, behind the toilet, on the bathroom walls, near the washing machine, and other areas where water or water condensation is present. Here are some tips to prevent mold growth and ensure a safe environment indoors.
● Identify the area where mold growth is usually present
● Immediately dry the wet areas of your home and ensure proper ventilation
● If there are any leaking pipes or seepage issues, get them fixed right away
● Move all your furniture away from the walls where the seepage occurs
● Avoid keeping any damp items lying around in your house, including clothes and furniture pieces
● Dry damp clothes or furniture pieces before you bring them into your home
● Opt for a mold removal service and frequent the use of products that help prevent mold growth.
As fun as the monsoon season is, it can instantly turn into a nuisance if you're not careful. Household mold is a very frequent issue for this weather, especially if you have an old house with seepage and pipeline issues. It is essential that you follow the tips above and identify the problematic places of your home to prevent mold growth. You can even rely on a good mold removal company to nip the problem in the bud and ensure a dry, mold-free house in the monsoon season!
Bio-One technicians can quickly stop and remove the fungus that occurs naturally in areas subjected to humidity, condensation, water leaks and insufficient ventilation. Hiring a professional mold removal company is critical as inadequate removal, remediation and treatment of mold spores can lead to health risks that include respiratory complications, skin irritation and severe allergic reactions.
Our Bio-One team properly contains areas infested with mold and discards any household or business items that have been highly contaminated, whether that entails tearing out and reconstructing areas or less thorough mold removal procedures. The remediation may include minor or major repairs, dependent on the level of mold damage.
Bio-One crews are available 24/7 and provide mold remediation services and other cleanup services for properties such as residential homes, vehicles, communities, and businesses. If prevention fails, Bio-One can be there to remediate the mold in a safe and contained way to prevent the spores from travelling to other areas of the home.

We tend to see an uptick in some of our services during the summer months prompted by the odors that develop in hot weather. One of those is hoarding, which the Mayo Clinic defines as “a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them.” Hoarding has been on the rise in recent years, currently estimated to affect 1 in 5 people. The American Psychiatric Association officially registered Hoarding Disorder (HD) as an official mental disorder in 2013.
There is significant variety in how HD affects people from the causes, to things hoarded, and severity. There are various risk factors for hoarding including personality, family history, and stress levels. What we have found is that there is typically a historical disposition towards clutter when what we call a “trigger” event occurs that the affected person(s) is unable to cope with effectively. This could be losing a job, the death of a family member, a health issue or some other traumatic event, and drugs. We have assisted clients that hoard animals, urine, mail, clothing, or simply everything that makes its way into the home. The hoarding is exacerbated by isolation or perceived isolation. It may be depression or debilitating illness/injury that prevents the hoarder from keeping up with their home, but as the situation worsens, embarrassment causes them to withdraw further and try to hide the situation from friends, family and neighbors.
Hoarding can cause significant damage to a home. The National Study Group on Compulsive Disorganization created a clutter hoarding scale with five levels of hoarding ranging from clutter to total inaccessibility of areas of the home and interruptions to the utilities. It can also lead to other issues such as rodent infestations and mold. The sooner it is addressed the better it is for the person’s quality of life, health, property, and pocket book.
We suggest property managers do preventative maintenance checks on a regular basis to protect their owners’ assets. If the hoarder is the homeowner though, it can be more challenging, because their cooperation will be required if they are still living. (We receive many calls from family members who have inherited properties from a hoarder). We love receiving calls from people with the disorder that recognize they need help and are ready to make a change! Often times though, the call comes from a concerned friend or family member, and what we’ve found is that some sort of leverage may be required to motivate the property owner. This could be a red tag from code compliance, a visit from the sheriff’s office or an eviction notice from their landlord.
All of Bio-One’s hoarding jobs are custom-designed to meet the needs of the client because every situation is different. It usually starts with a free phone consultation followed by a free on-site estimate when the family is ready. We walk the property with the client(s) to empathize with their challenges and define our scope. We will put together a proposal for their review and adjust with feedback if necessary. We encourage a 1-page “Recovery List” from the family that we will ensure our crew is on the lookout for specific items of importance. This includes items of obvious value like money, jewelry, or important documents, as well as items of sentimental value like pictures and family keepsakes. These will be stored in a safe zone for the family’s review. Besides decluttering a home, Bio-One can remove soiled carpets, recover feces or dead animals, disinfect & deep clean, perform mold remediation, and connect the clients to other reputable trades.
We understand that hoarding is very stressful for all parties involved, and our team approaches every situation with sensitivity and respect. We would be honored to help you navigate this challenging experience with our years of experience. Please call (520) 462-6367 anytime with questions.

Bio-One Service Highlight - Homeless Encampment Clean Up
Homeless encampments are set up all over the United States and unfortunately they pose a liability to property owners. These encampments can be seen wherever space is available - vacant buildings, forests, under bridges. As the number of homeless encampments increases, so does the need for encampment cleanup. Encampments often contain biohazards such as hypodermic needles, feces, blood, urine, vomit, various debris, and pests including rodents, fleas and cockroaches. Don’t risk exposing your employees or crews to infection.
From an individual temporarily residing in a tent to large encampments in vacant buildings, these cleanups need to be handled by professionals equipped with proper training and personal protective equipment. Leave it to Bio-One, where our technicians are trained to safely remove and clean up contaminated items, and properly dispose of biohazards such as sharps needles.
