What Ohatchee Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
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.
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.
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.
Will insurance pay for rodent cleanup?
Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from pests that builds up over time, though wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos, keep receipts and ask what paperwork is needed.
