What Plantation Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
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.
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.
How do I know if mice have been in my attic?
Common signs are small pellet droppings, shredded nesting material, grease marks along beams, gnaw marks and a musky smell. Scratching sounds at night can also point to rodents. A cleanup team can judge how much needs to be removed.
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.
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.
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 Plantation Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
