With roughly 50 inches of annual rainfall in Jamesburg, damp weather sends rodents indoors, and moisture makes droppings and nesting material smell worse. Whatever the vacancy rate in Middlesex County, a property that has sat closed for a season should be aired out before anyone enters, and droppings should be wet down, not swept.

Rodent Droppings Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Jamesburg, NJ
Who cleans up mouse droppings in an attic or crawl space?
A rodent cleanup service or biohazard cleanup team usually does this work. Attics and crawl spaces are tight, dusty and hard to reach, and soiled insulation often has to be removed. Pest control deals with the animals themselves.
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.
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 is the difference between pest control and rodent cleanup?
Pest control removes rodents and seals entry points. Rodent cleanup removes droppings, urine, nests and contaminated materials, and disinfects the area. Many properties need both, one after the other.
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.
Is it dangerous to clean up mouse droppings?
It can be if the droppings are dry and dusty. Sweeping or vacuuming can send fine particles into the air, where they are easy to breathe in. Wet cleaning with protection is safer, and larger jobs are best left to a cleanup team.
