Lynbrook gets about 49 inches of rain a year, and wet seasons push mice and rats into attics, garages and crawl spaces looking for dry shelter. Most housing in Nassau County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 4%, but sheds, garages and attics still go unvisited for months and can hold rodent buildup.

Rodent Droppings Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Lynbrook, NY
How do I know if mice have been in my attic?
Common signs are small pellet droppings, shredded nesting material, grease marks along beams, gnaw marks and a musky smell. Scratching sounds at night can also point to rodents. A cleanup team can judge how much needs to be removed.
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.
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.
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.
Do I need cleanup if the rodents are already gone?
Yes. Droppings, urine and nests stay behind after the animals leave and can still carry germs and odor. Cleanup after pest control makes the space safe again.
Why is insulation removed after mice or rats?
Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. Removing it takes away both the contamination and the smell. Replacement insulation is usually a separate job.
