Common Questions About Rodent Infestation Cleanup in Memphis, MO

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 dangerous to clean up mouse droppings?

It can be if the droppings are dry and dusty. Sweeping or vacuuming can send fine particles into the air, where they are easy to breathe in. Wet cleaning with protection is safer, and larger jobs are best left to a cleanup team.

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.

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

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.

Do I need cleanup if the rodents are already gone?

Yes. Droppings, urine and nests stay behind after the animals leave and can still carry germs and odor. Cleanup after pest control makes the space safe again.
