Don’t hurt animals

Most of us know that compulsive hoarding is a mental disorder. 

But how many of us know, what animal hoarding is. When a person keeps an unusually larger number of animals and they are unable to provide them with the basic need and care, then this is called animal hoarding. These animal hoarders believe that they take care of all their pets while the total opposite happens. 

An example of the above could be like this… Sam loves cats and starts hoarding them. He has about 30 cats living at his home, which is now contaminated with dried faeces, urine, and vomit. The fleas and vermin which are present, increase the toxicity in the place. He is unable to provide the cats with basic animal care needs like nutrition, sanitation, shelter and veterinary care, thus leading to the death of some of them. Sam is unable to see the cruelty that he is doing to those animals.

Likewise, most animal hoarders do not realize what they are suffering from and how it is affecting the life of animals. Though, why people hoard animals is not completely understood, several researchers say that it could be related to some personality disorder or mental illness like paranoia, delusional or depression.
Animal hoarding is a threat to human life. Human health problems can include zoonotic diseases, envenomation, self-neglect and much more.
Homes inhabited by animal hoarders could be dangerous and unhealthy. We at Bio Cleanse Services have been dealing not only with the effects of the disorder, but also with the people who suffer from it.

How to safeguard your home from water leakage

A common scenario in most television ads is when you return home from office and find your house flooded with water due to some leakage of pipes, toilets, showers, sinks and so on.   

Here are some tips on how you can prevent this from happening.

• Examine your hoses and faucet regularly: Replacement of hoses every five to ten years is a must. Before leaving the house, inspect all items which are connected to the hose, look for leaks, if any - replace it immediately.

• Water heater problems: An old water heater can cause problems if not replaced before end of life expectancy. To avoid damage from leaking water heaters, install a recovery plate under the new one.

• Find the main water supply and close it: To stop overflowing water, the best way is to turn off the main supply. For an unexpected water burst at your home or office, this is the ideal way to prevent the problem as it will stop the flow of water.

• Prevent freezing of pipes: When pipes freeze, the water inside it expands. Any such pipes or hoses must be disconnected and all the water should be drained and the pipes or hoses must be stored properly; else it will tend to freeze again. You can also install a freeze proof faucet.

• Buy a water flow monitoring system: If you want to know how to use your water and where it all goes and If you want to detect any leaks, this is the best way to do it. A Water Flow Monitoring system helps you monitor you water system by alerting you, if there are any leaks or spikes in the irrigation system. It will inform in real time but this is totally dependent on the type of water flow monitoring system you use.
