Cleaning Up After Mice and Rats in Ronceverte, WV
Hantavirus cleanup is the careful removal of rodent waste in places where infected wild rodents may have lived. The method keeps particles from becoming airborne, because breathing in dust from droppings or nests is how exposure happens.

Many homes in Ronceverte, about 76%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and urine and hold odor. Summers in Ronceverte are milder, with July highs around 82 degrees, but droppings in attics still dry and turn dusty over time.

What Ronceverte 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.
What can be saved after a rodent infestation?
Hard surfaces and items in sealed plastic containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, cardboard and fabric soiled with droppings or urine are generally discarded. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.
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.
Do cabins and barns need special cleanup?
Buildings that sit closed for long periods can hold heavy rodent buildup, including nests and droppings that are dry and dusty. Crews ventilate first, wet down and use protective gear, since these are the settings tied to hantavirus exposure.
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.
Does bleach or disinfectant kill hantavirus?
Disinfectants can inactivate the virus, which is why droppings are soaked before they are wiped up. The method matters as much as the product. Follow label directions and never mix cleaners.
