Droppings Cleanup & Sanitation in Paramus, NJ

No, not with a regular vacuum. Vacuuming or sweeping dry droppings can put particles into the air that you then breathe. Wet the droppings with disinfectant first, wipe them up with gloves on, and bag the waste. For large amounts, we use HEPA vacuums along with respirators and protective suits.

Size and shape tell you. Mouse droppings are small, about the size of a grain of rice, with pointed ends. Rat droppings are larger, about raisin-sized or bigger, with blunt ends. Text us a photo with a coin next to the droppings and we'll tell you which animal you're dealing with.

Rodent droppings and urine can carry bacteria and viruses, bat guano can grow the fungus that causes histoplasmosis, and raccoon droppings can carry roundworm eggs. The risk mostly comes from breathing dust or touching droppings, which is why careful wet cleanup and protective gear matter.

Yes. We always remove the animals and seal the entry points first. Cleaning an attic while mice or squirrels are still getting in just means a new mess in a few weeks. Once the house is sealed, the cleanup and sanitation actually last.

Not always. If droppings are limited to a small area, we can remove that section and sanitize the rest. If the insulation is soaked with urine, matted down or full of droppings, it's better to remove it and replace it. We do both the removal and the new insulation ourselves.

A small area like a garage corner or basement wall can often be done in one visit. A full attic cleanup with insulation removal and replacement usually takes longer and is scheduled once the house has been sealed and the animals are gone. We'll give you a time estimate with the quote.

In most cases, yes. The smell comes from urine soaked into insulation, wood and drywall. Removing soiled material and treating the area with products that break down the odor gets rid of it, rather than just covering it up with a fragrance.

Yes. We remove the rodents, seal entry points, and clean and disinfect stockrooms, kitchens and storage areas, with work scheduled around your hours. We also give you a written record of what we found and what we did, which helps when an inspector asks.
