The crew opens the space where safe, keeps people out, and checks how far droppings, urine and nests have spread.

2. Wet down the area

A disinfectant solution is applied until droppings and nests are soaked, which keeps particles from becoming airborne.

3. Remove and bag

Droppings, nests and soiled insulation are removed with disposable materials and sealed in heavy bags for disposal.

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

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Waite Park

What can be saved after a rodent infestation?

Hard surfaces and items in sealed plastic containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, cardboard and fabric soiled with droppings or urine are generally discarded. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.

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.

Who pays for rodent cleanup in a rental, the landlord or the tenant?

It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.

Can cleanup stop mice and rats from coming back?

No. Cleanup removes contamination but does not block entry points. A pest professional can seal gaps and set traps. Removing droppings and nests does help, since odor trails can draw new rodents in.

How do I know if mice have been in my attic?

Common signs are small pellet droppings, shredded nesting material, grease marks along beams, gnaw marks and a musky smell. Scratching sounds at night can also point to rodents. A cleanup team can judge how much needs to be removed.

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.
