What Archbald Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings

What rules apply to rodent cleanup in Pennsylvania?

Worker safety follows OSHA rules for contaminated materials, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. The CDC publishes plain-language guidance on safe rodent cleanup, and your local health department can answer area questions.

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.

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 Archbald Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.

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.
