Edgebrook gets about 54 inches of rain a year, and wet seasons push mice and rats into attics, garages and crawl spaces looking for dry shelter. Many homes in Houston, about 47%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and urine and hold odor.
The work often covers:
- Cleanup after pest control, once rodents are removed and entry points are sealed
- Tear-out of insulation soiled by droppings and urine in attics and crawl spaces
- Disinfection of hard surfaces with EPA-registered products used by label directions
- Hantavirus-safe handling of cabins, barns, sheds and long-closed buildings

What Edgebrook Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
