  • Cleanup after pest control, once rodents are removed and entry points are sealed
  • Odor removal and deodorizing of the musky smell left by rodent urine

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

Droppings are wetted, wiped up and bagged, and insulation or cardboard that cannot be cleaned is cut out.

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Dexter

Does bleach or disinfectant kill hantavirus?

Disinfectants can inactivate the virus, which is why droppings are soaked before they are wiped up. The method matters as much as the product. Follow label directions and never mix cleaners.

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.

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 safe to stay in the house during rodent cleanup?

For small areas, usually yes, if the work zone is sealed off. For attics or heavy contamination, many owners prefer to stay away while the crew works. The team will explain what is best for your situation.

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.

What is the difference between pest control and rodent cleanup?

Pest control removes rodents and seals entry points. Rodent cleanup removes droppings, urine, nests and contaminated materials, and disinfects the area. Many properties need both, one after the other.
