Hantavirus cleanup is the careful removal of rodent waste in places where infected wild rodents may have lived. The method keeps particles from becoming airborne, because breathing in dust from droppings or nests is how exposure happens.
Property owners in Lowell and across Benton County can get rodent droppings removed safely with help from Lowell Biohazard Cleanup Help. Cleanup technicians use HEPA-filtered equipment and keep you, your family, tenants and staff away from the work zone.
Lowell gets about 47 inches of rain a year, and wet seasons push mice and rats into attics, garages and crawl spaces looking for dry shelter.

The work often covers:
Crews check along walls, under appliances, in ductwork and across insulation, since rodents travel the same paths again and again.
