Franklin gets about 42 inches of rain a year, and wet seasons push mice and rats into attics, garages and crawl spaces looking for dry shelter. Most housing in Warren County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, but sheds, garages and attics still go unvisited for months and can hold rodent buildup.

A typical rodent droppings & hantavirus cleanup job includes:

  • Cleanup of droppings in ductwork, vents and around heating and cooling equipment
  • Odor removal and deodorizing of the musky smell left by rodent urine
  • Documentation of the work for landlords, buyers, inspectors and insurers
  • Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
  • Hantavirus-safe handling of cabins, barns, sheds and long-closed buildings

Step by Step: Safe Removal of Droppings and Nesting Material in Franklin

1. Keep people out

Family members, tenants and pets stay away while the crew looks over the contamination and plans the work.

2. Soak, never sweep

Disinfectant is applied to droppings and nesting areas first, which holds dust down during removal.

3. Wet-clean and tear out

Droppings are wetted, wiped up and bagged, and insulation or cardboard that cannot be cleaned is cut out.

4. Treat and verify

The space is disinfected, deodorized and inspected, and the crew explains which repairs or insulation work may follow.

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Franklin

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.

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.

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.

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 Franklin Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.

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.
