  • Safe wet-clean removal of mouse and rat droppings from floors, shelves and surfaces
  • Cleanup of droppings in ductwork, vents and around heating and cooling equipment
  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

What Happens During a Rodent Cleanup in Hewlett, NY

1. Keep people out

Family members, tenants and pets stay away while the crew looks over the contamination and plans the work.

2. Remove the droppings

Droppings and nesting debris are wetted, collected and bagged by hand, never swept or blown.

3. Take out what cannot be cleaned

Soiled insulation, chewed fabric and cardboard are removed, and hard items are scrubbed and rinsed.

Surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, fine particles are captured with HEPA equipment, and the finished space is checked.

What Hewlett Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings

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.

Do cabins and barns need special cleanup?

Buildings that sit closed for long periods can hold heavy rodent buildup, including nests and droppings that are dry and dusty. Crews ventilate first, wet down and use protective gear, since these are the settings tied to hantavirus exposure.

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.

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.

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.

Is it dangerous to clean up mouse droppings?

It can be if the droppings are dry and dusty. Sweeping or vacuuming can send fine particles into the air, where they are easy to breathe in. Wet cleaning with protection is safer, and larger jobs are best left to a cleanup team.
