Why Do I Need Rodent Clean Up Services & Sanitation?

Rodents can cause significant damage to homes where they nest and can spread disease through contaminating food as well as by leaving their waste. In order to make their nests, rodents like mice and rats  will shred soft materials like clothing, insulation, linens, and paper. They will move these materials into an undisturbed area of your home like inside wall cavities, vents, closets, and cupboards. This is extremely problematic because they can cause new infestations of other parasites like mites and fleas, in addition to contaminating areas with extremely harmful diseases like:

  • Salmonella
  • Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
  • Meningitis
  • Encephalitis
  • Histoplasmosis
  • Murine Typhus
  • Leptospirosis
  • Toxoplasmosis
  • Tularemia
  • Rat Bite Fever
  • Bubonic Plague
  • Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever

These diseases are most likely to be spread by the rodent’s urine and droppings after it dries and breaks down into dust like particles that can become airborne when disturbed. By breathing in these particles, an individual can develop symptoms that range from flu like to those requiring hospitalization. It is extremely dangerous to be around a contaminated area, especially before, during, and after cleanup which is why it is important to rely on professional rodent control experts who have the proper tools, safeguards, and knowledge of how to protect themselves during rodent cleanup.

In addition to waste related diseases, rodent control may sometimes cause rodents to die from poison baits. In these instances, their decaying bodies also become a serious health risk. It is even worse when this occurs in a place that is inaccessible to an untrained homeowner, which is why professional help is important to rely on. 

Rodent Cleanup Process

EcoGuard Pest Management is an expert in rodent sanitation.

At EcoGuard we offer a thorough top down clean up that moves our technicians through your home from the attic to the basement.

Damaged Material Removal

Rodent damage remediation usually targets rodent infested insulation as it is used by most rodents as a nesting material. The soft insulation materials are sometime shredded and brought to nesting sites and sometimes rodents will even carve out a space inside insulation to be their nest. In these instances, the insulation is contaminated with disease and will need to be replaced. Our rodent control experts will look at insulation in the attic, subfloors, and walls to see what areas have been impacted. Any insulation that appears to have been impacted by rodent activity will be removed so building materials that house the insulation can be sanitized before the insulation is replaced. 

Rodent Clean Up Service

After infected building materials like insulation have been removed, a thorough clean out is necessary to remove rodent droppings and dead rodents. This requires a brief period where the area is allowed to breath so any airborne particulates that were disturbed from the insulation removal can settle before being vacuumed and cleaned up. 

Rodent Sanitation 

Once the insulation is removed and contaminated areas have been cleared of rodent waste and nesting materials, EcoGuard will use a safe but effective sanitation agent to disinfect contaminated areas. This agent is powerful enough to neutralize the dangerous pathogens that rodents have left behind. In addition to disinfection, spaces that have been impacted by rodent waste or decomposing rodents will need to be deodorized. This will also help eliminate traces of rodent pheromones that attract other rodents as mates. 

Insulation Installation

After a space has been cleared of infested building materials, cleaned, and sanitized, our technicians will help replace damaged insulation with TAP insulation designed to help deter pests and rodents. This special insulation has high R value and is effective at increasing energy savings and helps with sound reduction.

Rodent Clean Up FAQs

  • Is it ok to vacuum rodent droppings?

    Rodent dropping cleanup can be done by vacuuming but it is important to allow infested areas to breathe and settle before you vacuum because breathing in airborne particles after they have been disturbed can cause sickness. 

  • How dangerous is it to clean up after rodents?

    Rodent clean up can be dangerous without the right precautions because rodents are carriers of several serious diseases like hantavirus, the plague, meningitis, and several others.

  • How to protect yourself when cleaning up after rodents?

    It is important that the right gear is used to prevent sickness when cleaning up after rodents. Using gloves, fully covered facemask with a strong breathing filter, and clothing that covers all your skin is important to prevent infection.
