A rodent cleanup service or biohazard cleanup team usually does this work. Attics and crawl spaces are tight, dusty and hard to reach, and soiled insulation often has to be removed. Pest control deals with the animals themselves.
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.
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 Fillmore Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
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.
