Janesville is on the drier side, with about 13 inches of rain a year, but dry heat and food scarcity also push rodents into buildings. About 24% of housing in Lassen County is vacant, and empty homes, cabins and outbuildings give mice and rats quiet places to nest.
A typical rodent droppings & hantavirus cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of droppings in kitchens, pantries, cabinets and food storage areas
- Odor removal and deodorizing of the musky smell left by rodent urine
- Cleanup after pest control, once rodents are removed and entry points are sealed
- Safe wet-clean removal of mouse and rat droppings from floors, shelves and surfaces
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to remove fine particles after wet cleaning

What Janesville Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
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.
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.
Who cleans up mouse droppings in an attic or crawl space?
A rodent cleanup service or biohazard cleanup team usually does this work. Attics and crawl spaces are tight, dusty and hard to reach, and soiled insulation often has to be removed. Pest control deals with the animals themselves.
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.
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.
Is mouse poop toxic?
Mouse droppings and urine can carry germs, including hantavirus in some wild rodents. They are not poisonous like a chemical, but breathing in dust or touching them without protection can make people sick.
