With roughly 41 inches of annual rainfall in Vandalia, damp weather sends rodents indoors, and moisture makes droppings and nesting material smell worse.

What Vandalia Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
Is rat poop a biohazard?
Rodent droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can carry germs. In homes, the key risk is dust. In larger or older infestations, cleanup follows biohazard-style methods with protective gear and sealed disposal.
Is mouse poop toxic?
Mouse droppings and urine can carry germs, including hantavirus in some wild rodents. They are not poisonous like a chemical, but breathing in dust or touching them without protection can make people sick.
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.
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.
Should I sweep or vacuum rodent droppings?
No. Dry sweeping or standard vacuuming stirs up dust and can spread germs. Air out the space, wet the droppings with disinfectant, wipe them up with paper towels and seal everything in a bag.
Can rodent droppings get into my air ducts?
Yes. Mice and rats can enter ductwork and leave droppings there, and the heating and cooling system can then move dust and odor through the house. Cleanup may include treating vents and duct openings.
