Once rats or mice have been removed, the mess they leave behind is still there. Droppings in the roof space, shredded nesting in cupboards, and soiled insulation can hold odours and attract new rodents. Rodent droppings cleanup is a service we book for homes in Caloundra, usually after removal and proofing are done.
The crew we book wears protective gear and works through the affected areas in a set order. They remove droppings and nesting material by hand and with a vacuum made for the job, bag up soiled insulation where needed, and wipe down hard surfaces. In the roof space, they focus on the areas where rats were nesting and running, which are often near the manhole, above the kitchen and along the edges of the roof.
- Removal of droppings and nesting from the roof space
- Bagging and removal of soiled insulation
- Cleanup of pantries, cupboards and under sinks
- Garage and shed shelves cleared of droppings
- A deodoriser applied where it suits the area
If a lot of insulation has been damaged, the crew will tell you, so you can decide whether to replace it. They will also point out any entry points still open, since cleaning up is only worth it if new rodents cannot get back in. For that reason, cleanup is usually the last step of the plan, booked once removal is done and the main gaps are sealed. The crew can tell you when the time is right and give you the price for the cleanup at the same time.
For any worries about health after contact with droppings, ask a doctor. Please keep children and pets out of the areas being cleaned until the crew is finished. We take bookings across Caloundra and nearby suburbs. Call 07 3543 7766 for upfront pricing on droppings cleanup.
