Rodent droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can carry germs. In homes, the key risk is dust. In larger or older infestations, cleanup follows biohazard-style methods with protective gear and sealed disposal.

Hard surfaces and items in sealed plastic containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, cardboard and fabric soiled with droppings or urine are generally discarded. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.
