Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Mount Pleasant

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.

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.

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 Mount Pleasant Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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 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.
