If you have experienced a rodent infestation in your attic, you know that something has to be done about cleaning up the mess they left. It’s a nasty job at best, but what is the best way to rid your attic of rodent urine and droppings?



What to Wear
First of all, you’ll want to properly attire yourself before you even start. Wear heavy-duty plastic or rubber gloves and preferably long sleeves. You may want to wear a face mask, too, as breathing in the dust and airborne particles from the dried urine and droppings from infected animals can transmit disease to you. It wouldn’t hurt to wear disposable shoe coverings also, such as those worn by doctors during surgery.

Tackling the Job
If your attic has insulation in it where the rodents have been, you may want to consider removing it and replacing it with new insulation. A costly job, I know, but if the insulation has been heavily urinated and defecated on, it may be your only choice. Once you have the insulation out, then you can begin to clean the floor. Or, if there was no insulation on the attic floor, you’re one step ahead here.

Disinfectant
First, begin by spraying everything that has feces and urine on it with a good strong disinfectant. Three tablespoons of bleach in a gallon of hot water makes a good, inexpensive disinfectant. Or you can use a commercial disinfectant such as Lysol® or the type used in hospitals. Cover each surface thoroughly where the droppings are and let it set for about half an hour so it can do its job. Then take a wet mop and mop the entire area.

What Not to Do
Don’t use a broom or vacuum cleaner to clean up rodent feces. They create dust, which in turn can spread viruses around if any of the rodents were diseased. Always just clean with a wet mop or rags.

Clean-up
When you have thoroughly mopped everything good, you may have a pile of droppings to dispose of. Use something disposable to carefully sweep them up into a doubled plastic bag. Then put it in the trash. Use a bag that is heavy plastic, so that holes don’t get poked in it, allowing the droppings to fall out. Either throw away the mop you used, or put it into the washing machine with more disinfectant and wash it good before using anywhere else. Wash your gloved hands, then throw away the gloves and wash your bare hands thoroughly.
