About 40% of homes in Jacksonville were built before 1980, and older houses often have more gaps, vents and crawl spaces where rodents get in. With roughly 48 inches of annual rainfall in Cedar Hills Estates, damp weather sends rodents indoors, and moisture makes droppings and nesting material smell worse.

- 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
- Safe wet-clean removal of mouse and rat droppings from floors, shelves and surfaces
- Cleanup of droppings in kitchens, pantries, cabinets and food storage areas

What Cedar Hills Estates Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
