With roughly 44 inches of annual rainfall in Kentfield, damp weather sends rodents indoors, and moisture makes droppings and nesting material smell worse. Many homes in Kentfield, about 90%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and urine and hold odor.
A typical rodent droppings & hantavirus cleanup job includes:
- Documentation of the work for landlords, buyers, inspectors and insurers
- Cleanup of droppings in kitchens, pantries, cabinets and food storage areas
- Commercial rodent cleanup for warehouses, restaurants, offices and storage units
- Tear-out of insulation soiled by droppings and urine in attics and crawl spaces

What Kentfield Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
Who pays for rodent cleanup in a rental, the landlord or the tenant?
It depends on the lease and local law. Tenants should tell the landlord or manager right away. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say who is responsible.
How much does rodent droppings cleanup cost?
It depends on the size of the area, how much insulation is soiled and how hard the space is to reach. A small shed costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
What can be saved after a rodent infestation?
Hard surfaces and items in sealed plastic containers can usually be cleaned and kept. Insulation, cardboard and fabric soiled with droppings or urine are generally discarded. The crew sorts items with you before anything is thrown out.
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.
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.
What rules apply to rodent cleanup in California?
Worker safety follows OSHA rules for contaminated materials, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. The CDC publishes plain-language guidance on safe rodent cleanup, and your local health department can answer area questions.
