Rodent Droppings

The Importance of Professional Rodent Waste Cleanup

Rodents can carry a variety of diseases that can be transmitted to humans, including: 

Bacterial infections: 

• Leptospirosis: Caused by the bacterium Leptospira interrogans, this disease is spread through the urine of infected rodents.     
• Rat-bite fever: Caused by two different bacteria, Streptobacillus ratis and Spirillum minus, this disease is transmitted through the bite of an infected rodent.     
• Plague: Caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, this disease is primarily spread by fleas that feed on infected rodents.     
• Lyme disease: Caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, this disease is transmitted through the bite of infected ticks that may feed on rodents.     
• Tularemia: Caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis, this disease can be spread through the bite of infected rodents or through contact with their contaminated fur or droppings.     

Viral infections: 

• Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome: Caused by a group of viruses known as hantaviruses, this disease is spread through the inhalation of rodent droppings or urine.     
• Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM): Caused by a virus, this disease is spread through contact with the urine, droppings, or saliva of infected rodents.     

Other infections:

• Salmonellosis: Caused by bacteria of the Salmonella genus, this disease can be spread through contaminated food or contact with rodent droppings.     
• Arenavirus infections: Caused by a group of viruses known as arenaviruses, these diseases can be spread through contact with infected rodents or their droppings.     
• Rickettsialpox: Caused by a bacterium known as Rickettsia akari, this disease is spread through the bite of infected fleas that may feed on rodents. 

Our team of experts specializes in safely removing rodent droppings, urine, carcasses, and nests, followed by deep cleaning, sanitization, and odor removal. Rodent waste is a serious health hazard, as it often contains dangerous pathogens that can lead to illnesses. If not properly removed, the odors and remnants may attract more pests, worsening the problem. DIY cleanup is risky and not recommended due to the potential health dangers of handling contaminated materials.

At T.A.C.T. 48, we rely on specialized tools and industrial-strength disinfectants to eliminate all traces of contamination. We adhere to strict regulations to ensure rodent waste is disposed of safely and responsibly, giving you confidence that your property has been fully restored.

When dealing with a rodent infestation, simply eliminating the droppings is not enough, as the waste they leave behind can contain hazardous bacteria, microorganisms, and viruses, such as the potentially fatal Hantavirus.

To properly eradicate these pathogens, T.A.C.T. 48 utilizes hospital-grade disinfectants and commercial HEPA vacuums that are capable of containing airborne viruses within the vacuum canister. Although some homeowners believe that they can take care of the problem themselves, using household vacuums, even with a HEPA filter, is not recommended. The safe removal of animal feces requires other equipment, as well, to protect those performing the clean up from harmful air borne microorganisms.

T.A.C.T. 48 has highly trained and certified technicians and state-of-the-art equipment, making us one of the top rated companies for rodent waste removal and cleanup in the Entire State of Arizona.

Most pest exterminators typically do not have the necessary procedures in place to clean up the droppings left behind to decontaminate your property and ensure full remediation of the affected areas. At  T.A.C.T. 48, we prioritize thorough deep cleaning to remove the rodent waste and rid the area of any odors that may attract more rodents in the future.

To achieve a thorough cleaning, we use professional, proprietary chemicals that have been proven to kill viruses and bacteria carried by rodents. The chemicals are often left to sit on surfaces for an appropriate amount of time to disinfect the area. Following the cleaning process, an ATP test can be use to obtain reading that confirm the area has been remediated thoroughly.

We will determine the safety of your property based on the test results and repeat the process if necessary until we achieve the desired level of decontamination. Our dedication to extensive cleaning and testing exemplifies why T.A.C.T. 48 is a leading provider of solutions for cleaning up and removing rodent waste.
