Because vacancy is lower in Adams County, at about 6% of homes, contamination is usually found quickly and treated while people still live in the house. Older housing is common in Biglerville, around 80% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection.
What biohazard decontamination covers:
- Cleaning of equipment, tools and furniture that can be safely kept and reused
- Detailed cleaning of floors, walls, ceilings and fixtures before any disinfectant is applied
- Sealing and labeling of contaminated waste for regulated medical waste hauling
- Surface inspection after treatment, with notes on what was done and where

Biohazard Decontamination FAQs for Biglerville and Adams County
Do OSHA rules apply to biohazard decontamination?
Workers who may contact blood or infectious material are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE and handling. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.
Can carpet and mattresses be saved?
Sometimes, but often not. Porous materials soak up fluids, and germs can remain deep inside where disinfectant cannot reach. The team looks at each item and explains which can be saved. Items that cannot be cleaned are removed, sealed and hauled away.
Can I decontaminate a space myself?
Light, simple messes may be manageable with gloves and the right product, but blood, sewage and infectious material are not. Mistakes can spread germs, and household cleaners often miss what soaked into porous items. Crews use PPE, containment and tested procedures.
What if the contamination came from a death or a crime?
The crew treats the space with care and keeps the details private. Law enforcement must release a crime scene before cleanup begins. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 any time.
What are the biological hazards in a home?
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.
Is it safe to stay in the house during decontamination?
Usually it is better not to. The affected area is sealed off, products are in use and the air is being managed. Ask the crew whether other parts of the house can stay in use.
