If you are reading this after losing someone, we are sorry. Please don't try to clean the room yourself, and please don't let a friend or neighbor do it either. Homicide and suicide cleanup in Fort Myers is what we do, and our first job is to make sure the family never has to see the scene again.
Why families call a professional suicide cleanup service
The trauma is the reason most people call. The second reason is practical: blood and body fluids from a death spread in ways that aren't visible. A self-inflicted gunshot can leave spatter across a ceiling and far beyond the immediate area. Blood pools under furniture, seeps through carpet pad into plywood subfloor, and runs along the gaps under baseboards. In a Florida home with tile over concrete, fluids work into grout and the slab's pores. Getting it all requires removal, not just wiping.
Our technicians follow OSHA bloodborne pathogen rules and the ANSI/IICRC S540 standard for trauma cleanup. We contain the room, remove contaminated materials, clean and disinfect what can be saved, and treat odor at its source. We finish with ATP testing so you have proof the room is clean.
How we handle a family's home
- We don't rush you. If you need a day before we come, that's fine. If you need us in an hour, we'll be there.
- We save what matters. Photos, papers, jewelry, phones and anything that looks personal are set aside, cleaned where possible and returned to you.
- We stay quiet. Unmarked vehicles on request, no conversations with neighbors, and no details shared with anyone but you and your insurance company.
- We coordinate. We can work directly with the Fort Myers Police Department, the Lee County Sheriff's Office, the District 21 Medical Examiner, your landlord or HOA, and your insurance adjuster so you don't have to.
Homicide cleanup and related services
A homicide is also a crime scene cleanup, so our crews handle fingerprint powder, forced-entry damage and evidence residue in the same visit. If some time passed before the person was found, the job includes the decomposition steps described on our unattended death cleanup page. We serve families across Fort Myers, North Fort Myers, Estero and the rest of Lee County.
Support after the cleanup
If you or someone close to you is struggling, you can call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, any time. It's free and confidential. Locally, SalusCare in Fort Myers provides behavioral health and crisis services.
Technician insight
Families often ask us to check the room one more time before they come back in. We always do a final walkthrough with the lights on and the AC running, because that's when any leftover odor shows.
