Rodent Sanitation Services
Our team understands the risks rodents bring and will inspect your property, identify affected areas, and provide a thorough cleanup and sanitation plan to eliminate health hazards and prevent future contamination.
Why should I be concerned about rodents?
Mice damage property, spread diseases like hantavirus and salmonella, and contaminate areas with feces, urine, and saliva. Hantavirus, though rare, is serious and potentially fatal, with no cure or vaccine. Rodents also carry ticks and fleas, spreading diseases like Lyme disease. Their constant gnawing can damage insulation, wires, and building materials, even causing house fires. If you notice signs of rodents, act quickly to stop the infestation.
When should I hire a professional to sanitize my house?
When rodents infest a home, they leave behind droppings, urine, and dead mice, contaminating living spaces, wall voids, and attics. Severe infestations may require full-home disinfection. Early intervention can save time and money, with DIY cleanup possible for minor cases. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to prevent spreading harmful particles. The CDC recommends the following precautions for cleaning rodent-infested areas:
-
Ventilate the area for at least 30 minutes by opening windows and doors.
-
Avoid stirring up dust by sweeping or vacuuming droppings, urine, or nesting materials.
-
Wear rubber, latex, or vinyl gloves when cleaning.
-
Spray droppings and urine with disinfectant or bleach solution (1:10 ratio) and let soak for 5 minutes.
-
Use paper towels to remove waste, then disinfect all contaminated surfaces.
-
Mop floors, clean countertops, and steam-clean furniture and carpets with evidence of exposure.
-
Wash bedding and clothing in hot water with detergent.
-
Remove gloves and wash hands with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand rub if necessary.
