Burbank is on the drier side, with about 8 inches of rain a year, but dry heat and food scarcity also push rodents into buildings. Older and newer homes in Burbank both attract rodents, and attic droppings are cleaned the same way: soak, remove, bag, disinfect.
The work often covers:
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to remove fine particles after wet cleaning
- Cleanup after pest control, once rodents are removed and entry points are sealed
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Odor removal and deodorizing of the musky smell left by rodent urine
- Commercial rodent cleanup for warehouses, restaurants, offices and storage units

What Burbank Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
Is rat poop a biohazard?
Rodent droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can carry germs. In homes, the key risk is dust. In larger or older infestations, cleanup follows biohazard-style methods with protective gear and sealed disposal.
Why is insulation removed after mice or rats?
Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. Removing it takes away both the contamination and the smell. Replacement insulation is usually a separate job.
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 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.
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.
How much does rodent droppings cleanup cost?
It depends on the size of the area, how much insulation is soiled and how hard the space is to reach. A small shed costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
