2. Soak, never sweep
Disinfectant is applied to droppings and nesting areas first, which holds dust down during removal.

Droppings are wetted, wiped up and bagged, and insulation or cardboard that cannot be cleaned is cut out.
4. Finish with air and surface care
HEPA filtration clears the air, surfaces are disinfected, and the crew walks the owner through the result.

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Steamboat Springs
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 Steamboat Springs Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
What is the difference between pest control and rodent cleanup?
Pest control removes rodents and seals entry points. Rodent cleanup removes droppings, urine, nests and contaminated materials, and disinfects the area. Many properties need both, one after the other.
What can be saved after a rodent infestation?
Hard surfaces and items in sealed plastic containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, cardboard and fabric soiled with droppings or urine are generally discarded. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.
Is rat poop a biohazard?
Rodent droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can carry germs. In homes, the key risk is dust. In larger or older infestations, cleanup follows biohazard-style methods with protective gear and sealed disposal.
Who cleans up mouse droppings in an attic or crawl space?
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.
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.
