Droppings, nests and urine-soaked materials are taken out, and every exposed surface is cleaned and treated.

What Central Northside Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings

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

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.

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.

Is mouse poop toxic?

Mouse droppings and urine can carry germs, including hantavirus in some wild rodents. They are not poisonous like a chemical, but breathing in dust or touching them without protection can make people sick.

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.

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.
