About 73% of homes in Roland were built before 1980, and older houses often have more gaps, vents and crawl spaces where rodents get in. Most housing in Story County is occupied, with a vacancy rate of about 7%, but sheds, garages and attics still go unvisited for months and can hold rodent buildup.
The work often covers:

- Tear-out of insulation soiled by droppings and urine in attics and crawl spaces
- Hantavirus-safe handling of cabins, barns, sheds and long-closed buildings

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Roland
Does bleach or disinfectant kill hantavirus?
Disinfectants can inactivate the virus, which is why droppings are soaked before they are wiped up. The method matters as much as the product. Follow label directions and never mix cleaners.
What happens to droppings found in a kitchen or pantry?
Food, dishes and shelves that rodents touched are sorted. Items that cannot be sanitized are discarded, and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. Anything in sealed containers can usually be saved.
Do I need cleanup if the rodents are already gone?
Yes. Droppings, urine and nests stay behind after the animals leave and can still carry germs and odor. Cleanup after pest control makes the space safe again.
Can I clean a small amount of droppings myself?
Often yes, with protection. Open doors and windows first, wear gloves and a mask, wet the droppings with disinfectant, wipe them up and seal them in a bag. If the area is large, hard to reach or heavily soiled, call a team.
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.
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.
