Found rodent droppings in your Roanoke home? What to do and not do before cleanup, and when to book a free inspection: (540) 632-8124. CDC advises against sweeping or vacuuming rodent urine and droppings before disinfection because this can put contaminated particles into the air.
Pause before cleanup
Keep children and pets away from the area. Review the CDC cleanup instructions for ventilation, gloves, disinfectant use and safe disposal. Extensive contamination or difficult-to-access spaces may need professional assessment rather than a quick household cleanup.
Address the entry problem
Document where evidence appears without handling it. An inspection can help determine the activity and possible entry routes. Mill Mountain offers rodent control and exclusion in Roanoke. Ask separately about contamination cleanup, because it should not be assumed to be part of every control service.
