How to Clean Mouse Droppings Safely
Small, fresh mouse dropping situations may be manageable with the right precautions, but dry sweeping, dry vacuuming, and disturbing contaminated insulation can make the situation worse.
Start by not spreading dust
Do not sweep or vacuum dry droppings. Wet the affected area with a suitable disinfectant, let it sit according to label guidance, then remove waste carefully.
- Wear gloves
- Avoid creating dust
- Disinfect before removal
- Dispose of contaminated waste carefully
Look beyond visible pellets
Mouse contamination can include urine trails, nesting material, chewed paper, food contamination, odor, dead rodents, and contaminated stored items.
Know when to call for help
Call for help when droppings are widespread, the affected area is hard to access, insulation is contaminated, odors remain, or someone has already swept or vacuumed the waste.
