San Marco gets about 48 inches of rain a year, and wet seasons push mice and rats into attics, garages and crawl spaces looking for dry shelter. Many homes in Jacksonville, about 40%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and urine and hold odor.
What rodent droppings & hantavirus cleanup covers:
- Removal and disposal of rodent nests, nesting material and contaminated debris
- Hantavirus-safe handling of cabins, barns, sheds and long-closed buildings
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved

What San Marco Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
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.
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.
What should I do first if I find droppings?
Do not sweep, vacuum or blow them. Keep children and pets away, ventilate the space, and decide whether it is a small spot or a larger job. Call San Marco Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
Do cabins and barns need special cleanup?
Buildings that sit closed for long periods can hold heavy rodent buildup, including nests and droppings that are dry and dusty. Crews ventilate first, wet down and use protective gear, since these are the settings tied to hantavirus exposure.
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.
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.
