Most housing in Fairfax 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.

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Seven Corners
Should I sweep or vacuum rodent droppings?
No. Dry sweeping or standard vacuuming stirs up dust and can spread germs. Air out the space, wet the droppings with disinfectant, wipe them up with paper towels and seal everything in a bag.
What happens to droppings found in a kitchen or pantry?
Food, dishes and shelves that rodents touched are sorted. Items that cannot be sanitized are discarded, and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. Anything in sealed containers can usually be saved.
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.
Is mouse poop toxic?
Mouse droppings and urine can carry germs, including hantavirus in some wild rodents. They are not poisonous like a chemical, but breathing in dust or touching them without protection can make people sick.
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.
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.
