Hantavirus-Safe Cleanup of Rodent Contamination in Sunset Hills
Rodent infestation cleanup begins after the animals are gone or being controlled. Pest control deals with the rodents themselves, and a cleanup team deals with the droppings, nesting material and contaminated insulation left behind.
Property owners in Sunset Hills and across Guilford County can get rodent droppings removed safely with help from Sunset Hills Biohazard Cleanup Help. Cleanup technicians use HEPA-filtered equipment and keep you, your family, tenants and staff away from the work zone.
Most housing in Greensboro is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 9%, but sheds, garages and attics still go unvisited for months and can hold rodent buildup.

- Cleanup of droppings in kitchens, pantries, cabinets and food storage areas

What Sunset Hills Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
How do I know if mice have been in my attic?
Common signs are small pellet droppings, shredded nesting material, grease marks along beams, gnaw marks and a musky smell. Scratching sounds at night can also point to rodents. A cleanup team can judge how much needs to be removed.
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.
Does bleach or disinfectant kill hantavirus?
Disinfectants can inactivate the virus, which is why droppings are soaked before they are wiped up. The method matters as much as the product. Follow label directions and never mix cleaners.
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 Sunset Hills Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
