What Paxtang Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings

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.

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

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.

How much does rodent droppings cleanup cost?

It depends on the size of the area, how much insulation is soiled and how hard the space is to reach. A small shed costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.

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.

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.
