Need residential or commercial rodent cleanup in Pasadena or nearby parts of Harris County? Call Pasadena Biohazard Cleanup Help for help with your attic, crawl space, barn, workshop, pantry, ductwork or storage room.
Most housing in Pasadena is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 8%, but sheds, garages and attics still go unvisited for months and can hold rodent buildup. With roughly 56 inches of annual rainfall in Pasadena, damp weather sends rodents indoors, and moisture makes droppings and nesting material smell worse.
A typical rodent droppings & hantavirus cleanup job includes:
- Tear-out of insulation soiled by droppings and urine in attics and crawl spaces
- Commercial rodent cleanup for warehouses, restaurants, offices and storage units
- Removal and disposal of rodent nests, nesting material and contaminated debris
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Cleanup after pest control, once rodents are removed and entry points are sealed

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Pasadena
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.
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.
Can I clean a small amount of droppings myself?
Often yes, with protection. Open doors and windows first, wear gloves and a mask, wet the droppings with disinfectant, wipe them up and seal them in a bag. If the area is large, hard to reach or heavily soiled, call a 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 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.
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 Pasadena Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
