The Rodent Infestation Cleanup Process in Sonora
2. Soak, never sweep
Disinfectant is applied to droppings and nesting areas first, which holds dust down during removal.
3. Remove and disinfect
Droppings, nests and urine-soaked materials are taken out, and every exposed surface is cleaned and treated.
4. Document and hand back
The owner receives a summary of the work for buyers, landlords or insurers, and the area is cleared for use.

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Sonora
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.
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.
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.
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 Sonora Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
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.
