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.
Worker safety follows OSHA rules for contaminated materials, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. The CDC publishes plain-language guidance on safe rodent cleanup, and your local health department can answer area questions.
Hard surfaces and items in sealed plastic containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, cardboard and fabric soiled with droppings or urine are generally discarded. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.
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.
Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from pests that builds up over time, though wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos, keep receipts and ask what paperwork is needed.
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.
Droppings can carry germs, so wet cleaning with protection comes first.
