Most of the time we will find cat urine contamination within 3 to 4 feet from the walls. We find the urine using a special day or night light made to spot urine contamination in carpet and other surfaces, such as furniture and walls.
Cat urine has a very sharp odor. The smell is usually much stronger than dog urine in most cases. We find that because cats urinate next to walls, the urine will get behind the baseboard and behind the wall, which makes it more difficult to remove the odor completely. Our vapor gassing system guarantees complete odor removal because our gas will penetrate those areas, destroying the odor completely. No other system, that we know of, can find the urine behind walls and other impossible areas like our system can.
Is Cat Urine Bad To Breathe Indoors?
Cat urine contains a high concentration of ammonia. The cat pee contains hydrogen and nitrogen. A small urine deposit will most likely not affect your breathing, but moderate to large pee deposits can affect your breathing.
The risk occurs when either there’s a very strong odor of cat urine in the room or when someone in the household has a respiratory condition, such as asthma or COPD. The amount of ammonia in a room that reeks of cat pee can irritate and eventually harm healthy lungs. Lungs that are already compromised, such as in someone with asthma, may be irritated by even a mild odor of cat urine, especially if they’re frequently exposed to the odor.
Finding Dog urine contamination is slightly different than finding cat urine in the carpet. Dog urine contamination can be found all over the carpeted area. Dogs will urinate on the edge of the carpet as well as in the middle of the carpet. We find dog urine using the same special day or night light made to spot cat urine contamination in carpet and other surfaces, such as furniture and walls.
