- Cleanup of droppings in ductwork, vents and around heating and cooling equipment
- Cleanup after pest control, once rodents are removed and entry points are sealed
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to remove fine particles after wet cleaning

2. Soak, never sweep
Disinfectant is applied to droppings and nesting areas first, which holds dust down during removal.
3. Clean the structure
Joists, shelves, walls and floors are washed and disinfected, and ducts or vents are treated where droppings were found.
4. Sanitize and deodorize
Remaining surfaces are disinfected and the musky smell is treated at its source.

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Ludlow
What is hantavirus?
Hantavirus is a virus carried by some wild rodents. It is uncommon, but it can cause serious lung illness. People are mainly exposed by breathing in dust from droppings, urine or nests.
Can cleanup stop mice and rats from coming back?
No. Cleanup removes contamination but does not block entry points. A pest professional can seal gaps and set traps. Removing droppings and nests does help, since odor trails can draw new rodents in.
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.
Should I sweep or vacuum rodent droppings?
No. Dry sweeping or standard vacuuming stirs up dust and can spread germs. Air out the space, wet the droppings with disinfectant, wipe them up with paper towels and seal everything in a bag.
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.
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 Ludlow Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
