Hanley Hills gets about 44 inches of rain a year, and wet seasons push mice and rats into attics, garages and crawl spaces looking for dry shelter. Many homes in Hanley Hills, about 98%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and urine and hold odor.
A typical rodent droppings & hantavirus cleanup job includes:

- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to remove fine particles after wet cleaning

What Hanley Hills Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
Does bleach or disinfectant kill hantavirus?
Disinfectants can inactivate the virus, which is why droppings are soaked before they are wiped up. The method matters as much as the product. Follow label directions and never mix cleaners.
Is mouse poop toxic?
Mouse droppings and urine can carry germs, including hantavirus in some wild rodents. They are not poisonous like a chemical, but breathing in dust or touching them without protection can make people sick.
Can rodent droppings get into my air ducts?
Yes. Mice and rats can enter ductwork and leave droppings there, and the heating and cooling system can then move dust and odor through the house. Cleanup may include treating vents and duct openings.
Who pays for rodent cleanup in a rental, the landlord or the tenant?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
What can be saved after a rodent infestation?
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.
What rules apply to rodent cleanup in Missouri?
Worker safety follows OSHA rules for contaminated materials, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. The CDC publishes plain-language guidance on safe rodent cleanup, and your local health department can answer area questions.
