Rodent Droppings Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in White Rock, NM

What should I do first if I find droppings?

Do not sweep, vacuum or blow them. Keep children and pets away, ventilate the space, and decide whether it is a small spot or a larger job. Call White Rock Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

Why is insulation removed after mice or rats?

Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. Removing it takes away both the contamination and the smell. Replacement insulation is usually a separate job.

Can I clean a small amount of droppings myself?

Often yes, with protection. Open doors and windows first, wear gloves and a mask, wet the droppings with disinfectant, wipe them up and seal them in a bag. If the area is large, hard to reach or heavily soiled, call a team.

Can rodent droppings get into my air ducts?

Yes. Mice and rats can enter ductwork and leave droppings there, and the heating and cooling system can then move dust and odor through the house. Cleanup may include treating vents and duct openings.

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.
