Rodent Urine & Feces Cleanup in Palm Springs & the Coachella Valley
Rodent droppings and urine can create serious health risks when contamination is disturbed incorrectly. Our professional cleanup team safely removes rodent waste, disinfects affected areas, and helps restore your property to a cleaner and safer condition.
How to Identify Rodent Droppings
Rodent waste can vary depending on the species. Recognizing the signs can help you determine when professional cleanup may be necessary.
Small, Dark & Pointed
Mouse droppings are commonly small, smooth, and dark in color. They are often found in kitchens, cabinets, garages, attics, storage areas, and along walls.

- Usually black or very dark
- Often pointed at the ends
- May appear in concentrated areas
Larger & Blunt-Ended
Rat droppings are typically larger and may be brownish-black. They can be found near food sources, nesting locations, walls, crawl spaces, attics, and other areas where rodents travel.
- Approximately ½–¾ inch long
- Brownish-black to dark in color
- Blunt or rounded ends

Can You Get Sick from Rodent Urine or Feces?
Yes. Rodent urine, feces, nesting material, and contaminated surfaces can potentially expose people to harmful pathogens. One important concern associated with rodents is Hantavirus.
Disturbing dried rodent waste can release contaminated particles into the air. Sweeping or vacuuming droppings can increase the chance of exposure, which is why contaminated areas should be approached carefully.

Rodent Cleanup FAQs
Here are answers to common questions about rodent urine and feces cleanup.
We answer common biohazard cleanup questions about cost, insurance, and what to expect.
What is rodent urine and feces cleanup?
Rodent urine and feces cleanup is the professional removal, cleaning, and disinfection of areas contaminated by rodent droppings, urine, nesting materials, and related debris.
Is it safe to clean rodent droppings myself?
Small amounts of contamination should still be handled carefully. Sweeping or vacuuming dry droppings can disturb contaminated particles. Larger, widespread, or heavily contaminated areas are better handled by trained professionals using appropriate protective equipment and procedures.
What is Hantavirus?
Hantavirus refers to a group of viruses that can be carried by certain rodents. People can potentially be exposed through contact with contaminated rodent urine, feces, nesting material, or particles disturbed from contaminated areas.
Should I get rid of the rodents before cleaning?
Active rodent activity should be addressed so that contamination does not continue after cleaning. Depending on the situation, rodent control and exclusion may need to be coordinated with the cleanup process.
How do I know if I need professional cleanup instead of a quick DIY cleanup?
Professional cleanup may be appropriate when there is a large amount of droppings or urine, contamination in enclosed areas, strong odor, extensive nesting material, repeated rodent activity, or concern about safely disturbing contaminated materials.
