Hantavirus-Safe Cleanup of Rodent Contamination in Quail Hollow

A typical July high of 96 degrees in Quail Hollow makes attics very hot, and heat dries out droppings and nests so dust rises easily when disturbed. Most housing in Austin is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 6%, but sheds, garages and attics still go unvisited for months and can hold rodent buildup.
What rodent droppings & hantavirus cleanup covers:
- Safe wet-clean removal of mouse and rat droppings from floors, shelves and surfaces
- Cleanup of droppings in ductwork, vents and around heating and cooling equipment
- Cleanup after pest control, once rodents are removed and entry points are sealed

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.
