Many homes in Austin, about 75%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and urine and hold odor. Most housing in Austin is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 7%, but sheds, garages and attics still go unvisited for months and can hold rodent buildup.

A typical rodent droppings & hantavirus cleanup job includes:

  • Safe wet-clean removal of mouse and rat droppings from floors, shelves and surfaces
  • HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to remove fine particles after wet cleaning
  • Tear-out of insulation soiled by droppings and urine in attics and crawl spaces
  • Cleanup of droppings in kitchens, pantries, cabinets and food storage areas
  • Cleanup of droppings in ductwork, vents and around heating and cooling equipment

3. Remove and bag

Droppings, nests and soiled insulation are removed with disposable materials and sealed in heavy bags for disposal.

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Austin

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 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.

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 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 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.

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