Rodent contamination cleanup covers everything animals touch while living in a building: droppings, urine, nesting fibers, soiled insulation and chewed items. Each of these can carry germs and holds odor.

About 12% of housing in San Francisco is vacant, and empty homes, cabins and outbuildings give mice and rats quiet places to nest. Summers in Sunnyside are milder, with July highs around 62 degrees, but droppings in attics still dry and turn dusty over time.

- Tear-out of insulation soiled by droppings and urine in attics and crawl spaces

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Sunnyside
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.
Should I sweep or vacuum rodent droppings?
No. Dry sweeping or standard vacuuming stirs up dust and can spread germs. Air out the space, wet the droppings with disinfectant, wipe them up with paper towels and seal everything in a bag.
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.
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.
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.
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.
