Rodent Contamination Cleanup in Lawrence and Washington County

Common Questions About Rodent Infestation Cleanup in Lawrence, PA
Can cleanup stop mice and rats from coming back?
No. Cleanup removes contamination but does not block entry points. A pest professional can seal gaps and set traps. Removing droppings and nests does help, since odor trails can draw new rodents in.
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.
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.
What happens to droppings found in a kitchen or pantry?
Food, dishes and shelves that rodents touched are sorted. Items that cannot be sanitized are discarded, and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. Anything in sealed containers can usually be saved.
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.
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.
