1. Locate the contamination

Crews check along walls, under appliances, in ductwork and across insulation, since rodents travel the same paths again and again.

2. Contain the zone

Plastic barriers go up around the work area, and technicians suit up before entering.

3. Clean the structure

Joists, shelves, walls and floors are washed and disinfected, and ducts or vents are treated where droppings were found.

4. Finish with air and surface care

HEPA filtration clears the air, surfaces are disinfected, and the crew walks the owner through the result.

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Castanea

How much does rodent droppings cleanup cost?

It depends on the size of the area, how much insulation is soiled and how hard the space is to reach. A small shed costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.

What happens to droppings found in a kitchen or pantry?

Food, dishes and shelves that rodents touched are sorted. Items that cannot be sanitized are discarded, and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. Anything in sealed containers can usually be saved.

How do I get rid of the smell of rat urine?

The odor comes from urine in insulation, wood and fabric, so it must be removed or treated at the source. Crews take out soaked insulation and treat surfaces. Air fresheners only cover the smell.

Is it dangerous to clean up mouse droppings?

It can be if the droppings are dry and dusty. Sweeping or vacuuming can send fine particles into the air, where they are easy to breathe in. Wet cleaning with protection is safer, and larger jobs are best left to a cleanup team.

What is hantavirus?

Hantavirus is a virus carried by some wild rodents. It is uncommon, but it can cause serious lung illness. People are mainly exposed by breathing in dust from droppings, urine or nests.

Can you catch hantavirus from cleaning droppings?

Yes, exposure can happen when dust from droppings, urine or nests is stirred up and breathed in. That is why cleanup is done wet and with protective gear. If you feel sick after being around droppings, tell a doctor about the exposure.
