The Rodent Infestation Cleanup Process in Sunset

1. Ventilate and assess

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 disinfect

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

4. Sanitize and deodorize

Remaining surfaces are disinfected and the musky smell is treated at its source.

What Sunset Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings

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 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 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 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.

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.

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.
