If you have a pest infestation in your home or business, identifying and removing rodent feces and urine quickly is important. This can help you determine the best way to remove them and keep your property clean and safe. Here are some tips on identifying rodent waste and how our restoration technicians at Bio-One of Chula Vista can help you.
Wear gloves when handling any feces, urine, or nesting material.
Handling rodent feces and urine can present an invisible hazard as rodent droppings may contain potentially hazardous bacteria or parasites that can put humans at risk of morbidity. It's important to wear gloves when handling rodent droppings, urine, or nesting material to avoid potential health issues associated with accidental contact.
Also, rodent feces and urine should always be disposed of following the local guidelines for dealing with rodent infestations. If it is not taken care of correctly, contamination risks remain. That's where our restoration technicians can help. Protecting oneself and maintaining proper hygiene when eliminating rodent waste is one of the foremost steps in dealing with rodent infestations!
Use a flashlight to look for signs of rodents in dark areas.
Rats and mice are nocturnal, making them difficult to spot during the day. However, with a flashlight, you can search even the darkest corners of the home for signs of their presence. Look for rodent droppings and urine stains to identify where they've been. You may also find chewed-up food, nesting material, or bits of plastic and wire that have been gnawed on. Inspect any hidden crevices, like behind appliances and under drawers and cabinets.
Knowing where rodents are and what activity is happening helps determine how to address the issue and keep your family safe.
Inspect rodent feces and urine for size, shape, and color.
Pest inspections are necessary to keep these bothersome creatures under control. Identifying rodent types can help you better understand the severity of an infestation problem and plan the next steps. Inspecting droppings is a helpful tool in this process, as different rodent types leave distinct droppings that can be easily identified by their size, shape, and color.
This is, of course, a job for certified professionals. For example, mouse droppings are cylindrical, whereas rat droppings tend to have pointed ends. Calling a rodent droppings cleanup company in these cases might be the best solution for keeping your loved ones safe in the face of an infestation.
Dispose of droppings in a proper plastic bag or container.
It's essential to dispose of rodent droppings in a plastic bag or container. Since droppings and urine carry disease-causing bacteria, it is important to clean up after rodents safely and effectively. This means taking the extra step of disposing of rodent feces and urine remnants in sealed plastic bags rather than just sweeping or leaving them on the floor, where they can be stepped on or otherwise exposed to people.
Using proper containment when disposing of rodent droppings not only keeps your space clean but also helps protect you from potential health risks, and Bio-One can take care of the process entirely.
Clean up any rodent feces and urine with a disinfectant solution.
When it comes to rodent droppings and urine cleanup, using a disinfectant solution is essential to reduce the likelihood of spreading germs and illnesses. Not only will a good disinfectant solution break down any trace of rodent urine, but it can also eliminate foul odors and keep your home or office clean without investing in costly air fresheners.
Again, it's important to note that while some regular cleaning products are not effective for removing surface stains and bacteria, so you want to trust a specialized company with EPA-approved chemicals and products to ensure that all bacteria from rodent droppings and urine are completely gone.
Remove nesting material from the area and dispose of it safely.
Controlling rodent infestations and ensuring their activity does not become a nuisance entails removing any nesting material safely. Infested nesting materials should be removed, and rodent feces and urine should also be treated with caution as they can potentially transmit disease. It is paramount to remove the material safely to ensure the contamination does not spread. Otherwise, it could compromise your safety or the safety of others in the home!
