Washington Shores gets about 51 inches of rain a year, and wet seasons push mice and rats into attics, garages and crawl spaces looking for dry shelter. Whatever the vacancy rate in Orlando, a property that has sat closed for a season should be aired out before anyone enters, and droppings should be wet down, not swept.
The work often covers:
- Tear-out of insulation soiled by droppings and urine in attics and crawl spaces
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to remove fine particles after wet cleaning
- Safe wet-clean removal of mouse and rat droppings from floors, shelves and surfaces
- Cleanup after pest control, once rodents are removed and entry points are sealed
- Cleanup of droppings in kitchens, pantries, cabinets and food storage areas

Common Questions About Rodent Infestation Cleanup in Washington Shores, Orlando, FL
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.
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.
Will insurance pay for rodent cleanup?
Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from pests that builds up over time, though wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos, keep receipts and ask what paperwork is needed.
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.
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 Washington Shores Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
