Montreal Wildlife Removal: Should You Sweep and Vacuum Mice Droppings?

by

Mouse droppings are probably the last thing you want to see in your home. Whether you’ve spotted a few in your attic or a large amount around your kitchen, it’s important to work with a professional to safely clean your home. Most homeowners turn to sweeping and vacuuming, but these cleaning tactics just aren’t enough to protect your property and your health. Enjoy quality mice removal Montreal homeowners attest to by turning to Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control.

Why a Vacuum Doesn’t Cut It

Mice are known carriers of hantavirus, listeria and salmonellosis. These diseases can live on droppings and urine, so even when the culprit is gone you still need to tread lightly around cleanup. Seeing a few droppings in your home means there are probably far more in your attic, basement and wall cavities. Don’t stop at just the droppings you can see, but find out how to enjoy a total home cleaning service. A vacuum or broom may remove the visual signs of feces, but it doesn’t properly disinfect your home. Worse, it can actually spread the bacteria around your home and increase the risk of becoming sick. Feces require commercial grade disinfectant products, which you may not have around your home. Improper use of these cleaners can damage your property and put your family at risk, so work with a professional to carefully clean every area a mouse may have been. Mouse urine and saliva can also harbour dangerous bacteria, so just cleaning it up may not be enough to properly sanitize your home. Mice are fast breeders, great hiders and sneaky houseguests. You may believe that you’ve caught or vacated all the mice in your home, but there could still be several or even dozens hiding around your home and property. Sweeping up the visible feces may not be the end of the story, so it’s important to work with a professional to clean, remove and prevent mouse issues. Some wildlife removal companies will simply trap the mice and call it a day. This doesn’t remove the risk of hantavirus and other illnesses, so work with a company committed to thorough restoration services. At Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control, we not only humanely remove mice but also clean up after your messy houseguests. Find out how we safely remove droppings and sanitize your property.

How To Remove Droppings and Mice From Your Home

No sanitation methods will be effective without completely removing your home’s mouse population and preventing them from moving back in. We carefully inspect your home to see how mice may have got there in the first place. We humanely trap and relocate mice, seal up your home, and then prepare to disinfect and sanitize it. DIY cleaning is difficult to achieve successfully. Many homeowners don’t realize how much mice get around, so they miss out on key areas where there may be urine or saliva. DIY removal solutions may not humanely trap every mouse in your house, so you’ll continue to see signs of a mouse even after going through all the proper cleaning steps. Sanitation is about more than surface cleaning. We clear the air in your home and use a commercial-grade disinfectant to safely clear surfaces. If surfaces have been scratched or otherwise compromised, they may require restoration services. We can remove damaged materials and repair your home from any wildlife-related damage.
