With roughly 43 inches of annual rainfall in Lexington, damp weather sends rodents indoors, and moisture makes droppings and nesting material smell worse. Whatever the vacancy rate in Middlesex County, a property that has sat closed for a season should be aired out before anyone enters, and droppings should be wet down, not swept.

Common Questions About Rodent Infestation Cleanup in Lexington, MA

Can you catch hantavirus from cleaning droppings?

Yes, exposure can happen when dust from droppings, urine or nests is stirred up and breathed in. That is why cleanup is done wet and with protective gear. If you feel sick after being around droppings, tell a doctor about the exposure.

Will insurance pay for rodent cleanup?

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.

Can I clean a small amount of droppings myself?

Often yes, with protection. Open doors and windows first, wear gloves and a mask, wet the droppings with disinfectant, wipe them up and seal them in a bag. If the area is large, hard to reach or heavily soiled, call a team.

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.

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 is the difference between pest control and rodent cleanup?

Pest control removes rodents and seals entry points. Rodent cleanup removes droppings, urine, nests and contaminated materials, and disinfects the area. Many properties need both, one after the other.
