Common Questions About Rodent Infestation Cleanup in Hannibal, MO

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.

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.

Who pays for rodent cleanup in a rental, the landlord or the tenant?

It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.

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.

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.

Can rodent droppings get into my air ducts?

Yes. Mice and rats can enter ductwork and leave droppings there, and the heating and cooling system can then move dust and odor through the house. Cleanup may include treating vents and duct openings.
