Ozone Machine Rental
Some odors are so stubborn that regular cleaning and air fresheners won’t touch them—cigarette and cigar smoke soaked into walls, pet urine in carpet and padding, dead animal odor in a crawlspace, or heavy “musty” smells after a long moisture problem.
At D & D Pest Control Co., we provide ozone shock treatments and also offer ozone machine rental (with clear safety rules) to help homeowners, landlords, realtors, and businesses in Eastern NC reclaim indoor spaces that smell “impossible.”
What Is Ozone?
Ozone is a highly reactive form of oxygen made of three oxygen atoms (O3). Because it reacts quickly with many odor-causing compounds, ozone is used in controlled, short-term applications to help reduce odors.
Important: ozone is not a “fresh air” product for everyday use. Government and health agencies warn that elevated ozone levels can irritate the lungs and airways, which is why ozone work must be performed in an unoccupied space and then thoroughly ventilated before re-entry.
What Is an Ozone Shock Treatment?
An ozone shock treatment is a controlled process where a professional ozone generator temporarily raises ozone levels in an unoccupied home, room, vehicle, or business for a limited period of time. During the treatment, ozone reacts with many odor-causing molecules in the air and on exposed surfaces, helping break them down. After the treatment, the space is aired out so ozone can decay back to normal oxygen.
- Best for: severe, stubborn odors (not everyday “air freshening”).
- Must be unoccupied: no people, pets, or plants inside during treatment.
- Works best with: source removal + cleaning + moisture control (ozone isn’t a magic cover-up).
Odors Ozone Shock Treatment Can Help With
- Tobacco smoke odors in walls, ceilings, furniture, vehicles, and rentals
- Pet urine / pet odors in carpet, padding, and porous materials
- Dead animal odors after removal from walls, attic, or crawlspace
- Musty / stale smells after moisture problems are corrected
- Cooking and food odors in apartments and rental properties
- Post-incident odors (smoke/soot smells after appropriate cleanup)
Note: Ozone does not remove stains, heavy residues, or damaged building materials. In many cases, the best results come from a plan that includes cleaning, removal of contaminated materials, and fixing the root cause (like moisture intrusion).
Safety First: What You Must Know About Ozone
Ozone can be harmful to breathe at elevated levels. The EPA warns that ozone generators can produce indoor ozone concentrations that exceed health standards, and controlling indoor ozone levels can be difficult without proper procedures.
- Never occupy the space during treatment (people, pets, and plants must be out).
- Post/secure entrances so no one enters by mistake.
- Ventilate thoroughly after treatment before re-entry.
- Follow exposure guidance—NIOSH and OSHA list low workplace limits for ozone, reflecting its respiratory risk.
Our Professional Ozone Shock Treatment Process
1) Inspection & Odor Assessment
- We discuss the odor history (smoke, pets, fire, dead animal, musty smell, etc.).
- We inspect affected rooms and (when needed) attics/crawlspaces where odors can originate.
- We identify what should be cleaned or removed before ozone is used.
2) Source Removal & Cleaning Plan
Odor control starts with the source. Depending on the situation, we may recommend:
removing contaminated items, deep cleaning, replacing carpet/padding, removing animal remains, or correcting moisture problems.
3) Preparation
- Remove people, pets, and plants
- Secure doors/entries
- Evaluate sensitive materials (rubber items, delicate artwork, etc.)
4) Controlled Ozone Treatment
We size the treatment based on square footage, odor severity, layout, and contact time so it’s effective without unnecessary run time.
5) Ventilation & Re-Entry
After shutoff, we allow the contact period, then ventilate the space so ozone can decay back to oxygen. Re-entry happens only after adequate airing out.

FAQ – Ozone Shock Treatment & Ozone Machine Rental
Is ozone shock treatment safe?
It can be safe when done correctly because the space is kept unoccupied during ozone generation and then ventilated before re-entry. Ozone can irritate the lungs at elevated levels, so safety rules matter.
Why do agencies warn about ozone generators?
The EPA notes that ozone generators can create indoor ozone levels that exceed health standards, even when following instructions, and that controlling ozone concentration can be difficult in real-world conditions.
How long does an ozone shock treatment take?
Timing depends on square footage, layout, and odor severity. Many treatments involve a controlled run time plus a ventilation window before re-entry.
What odors does ozone work best on?
Smoke odors, pet odors, dead animal odors (after removal), and some musty/stale odors—especially when paired with cleaning and source removal.
Will ozone remove pet urine odor completely?
It can help, but pet urine often soaks into carpet padding and subflooring. Best results come from cleaning, enzyme treatment, and removing contaminated materials when needed—then using ozone as a finishing step.
Does ozone kill mold?
Ozone may affect microorganisms on surfaces it reaches, but it is not a substitute for proper mold remediation. Moisture sources must be corrected and contaminated materials addressed.
Can ozone damage belongings?
Some materials (natural rubber, certain plastics, delicate items) can be sensitive to ozone exposure. We recommend removing or protecting sensitive items before treatment.
Can I stay in the home while the ozone machine runs?
No. Ozone shock treatment is for unoccupied spaces only—no people, pets, or plants.
Can I rent your ozone machine instead of hiring professional service?
Yes. We offer ozone machine rental for qualified odor situations. You must follow our safety checklist for setup, run time, and ventilation before re-entry.
Do you offer ozone treatments for rentals and property managers?
Yes—ozone shock treatments are popular for tenant turnover, smoke odors, and severe pet odors after cleanup and source removal.
Will ozone remove “dead animal” crawlspace odor?
Ozone can help after the carcass is removed and the area is cleaned/sanitized. If rodents are active, we recommend fixing the rodent issue first to prevent repeat odor problems.
What should I do before an ozone shock treatment?
Remove people/pets/plants, secure entries, and address the odor source (cleaning, disposal of contaminated items, moisture repairs). We’ll provide a prep checklist.
Do you provide service in Kinston, Greenville, Goldsboro, Jacksonville, and New Bern?
Yes. We serve those cities and many surrounding Eastern North Carolina communities.
