Rodent Dropping Cleaning 101: FAQs Answered by T.A.C.T. Detroit

Dealing with a rodent infestation can be stressful, messy, and even hazardous to your health. At T.A.C.T. Detroit, we specialize in professional rodent dropping cleanup, decontamination, and odor removal. Below are the most frequently asked questions we receive about our rodent remediation services.
1. What is rodent remediation?
Rodent remediation is the professional cleanup and decontamination of areas impacted by rodent infestations. This includes removing droppings, nesting materials, urine, dead rodents, and neutralizing harmful bacteria and odors left behind.
2. Why is professional rodent cleanup necessary?
Rodent droppings and urine can carry dangerous pathogens like hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella. DIY cleanup methods can stir up these contaminants and put your health at risk. T.A.C.T. Detroit uses hospital-grade disinfectants and follows OSHA and CDC protocols to ensure your space is safe and sanitary.
3. Do you remove the rodents too?
Yes. If there are dead rodents or carcasses on-site, our team will safely remove and dispose of them according to biohazard regulations. For active infestations, we recommend working with a licensed pest control provider to eliminate live rodents before remediation.
4. What areas of a property do you clean?
We clean and sanitize attics, basements, crawl spaces, garages, ceilings, walls, insulation, and other areas affected by rodent activity. We also handle odor removal.
5. Can you help with attic or insulation cleanup after rodents?
Yes. Rodents often nest in insulation, leaving behind waste that soaks in and contaminates the material. We can remove soiled insulation, disinfect the area, and coordinate with insulation installers for replacement if needed.
6. How soon can you respond to a rodent cleanup job?
We offer 24/7 emergency response throughout Michigan. Contact us anytime at 947-465-9420 for a prompt site assessment and cleanup.
7. How do I prevent future rodent infestations?
We always recommend sealing entry points, maintaining clean spaces, and working with a licensed pest control provider. After remediation, we can refer trusted partners who specialize in exclusion services to help rodent-proof your property.
8. Is rodent remediation covered by insurance?
No, most insurance policies do not cover rodent-related damage or cleanup since infestations are considered preventable maintenance issues. However, we can still provide documentation if needed for personal records or appeals.
9. How much does rodent remediation cost?
Pricing varies based on the size of the area, severity of contamination, and materials affected. We provide free estimates after an on-site inspection.
