Rodent Infestation Cleanup for Cricket Attics, Crawl Spaces and Sheds
Hantavirus cleanup is the careful removal of rodent waste in places where infected wild rodents may have lived. The method keeps particles from becoming airborne, because breathing in dust from droppings or nests is how exposure happens.

About 67% of homes in Cricket were built before 1980, and older houses often have more gaps, vents and crawl spaces where rodents get in. With roughly 52 inches of annual rainfall in Cricket, damp weather sends rodents indoors, and moisture makes droppings and nesting material smell worse.

Rodent Droppings Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Cricket, NC
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 Cricket Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
Is it dangerous to clean up mouse droppings?
It can be if the droppings are dry and dusty. Sweeping or vacuuming can send fine particles into the air, where they are easy to breathe in. Wet cleaning with protection is safer, and larger jobs are best left to a cleanup team.
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 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 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.
Can you catch hantavirus from cleaning droppings?
Yes, exposure can happen when dust from droppings, urine or nests is stirred up and breathed in. That is why cleanup is done wet and with protective gear. If you feel sick after being around droppings, tell a doctor about the exposure.
