Only about 41% of homes in Polk County were built before 1980, but newer homes have attics, garages and utility gaps that rodents still reach.

What Grand Ronde Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
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 cleanup stop mice and rats from coming back?
No. Cleanup removes contamination but does not block entry points. A pest professional can seal gaps and set traps. Removing droppings and nests does help, since odor trails can draw new rodents in.
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.
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.
Do cabins and barns need special cleanup?
Buildings that sit closed for long periods can hold heavy rodent buildup, including nests and droppings that are dry and dusty. Crews ventilate first, wet down and use protective gear, since these are the settings tied to hantavirus exposure.
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.
