Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Dover Base Housing
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 much does rodent droppings cleanup cost?
It depends on the size of the area, how much insulation is soiled and how hard the space is to reach. A small shed costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
Who pays for rodent cleanup in a rental, the landlord or the tenant?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
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.
Why is insulation removed after mice or rats?
Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. Removing it takes away both the contamination and the smell. Replacement insulation is usually a separate job.
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 Dover Base Housing Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
