Clovis is on the drier side, with about 11 inches of rain a year, but dry heat and food scarcity also push rodents into buildings. Most housing in Clovis is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, but sheds, garages and attics still go unvisited for months and can hold rodent buildup.
The work often covers:
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to remove fine particles after wet cleaning
- Tear-out of insulation soiled by droppings and urine in attics and crawl spaces
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- Cleanup of droppings in kitchens, pantries, cabinets and food storage areas
- Odor removal and deodorizing of the musky smell left by rodent urine

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Clovis
What is hantavirus?
Hantavirus is a virus carried by some wild rodents. It is uncommon, but it can cause serious lung illness. People are mainly exposed by breathing in dust from droppings, urine or nests.
Do cabins and barns need special cleanup?
Buildings that sit closed for long periods can hold heavy rodent buildup, including nests and droppings that are dry and dusty. Crews ventilate first, wet down and use protective gear, since these are the settings tied to hantavirus exposure.
Can you catch hantavirus from cleaning droppings?
Yes, exposure can happen when dust from droppings, urine or nests is stirred up and breathed in. That is why cleanup is done wet and with protective gear. If you feel sick after being around droppings, tell a doctor about the exposure.
What is the difference between pest control and rodent cleanup?
Pest control removes rodents and seals entry points. Rodent cleanup removes droppings, urine, nests and contaminated materials, and disinfects the area. Many properties need both, one after the other.
Should I sweep or vacuum rodent droppings?
No. Dry sweeping or standard vacuuming stirs up dust and can spread germs. Air out the space, wet the droppings with disinfectant, wipe them up with paper towels and seal everything in a bag.
What should I do first if I find droppings?
Do not sweep, vacuum or blow them. Keep children and pets away, ventilate the space, and decide whether it is a small spot or a larger job. Call Clovis Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
