Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Aurora

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 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.

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 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.

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.
