- Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated waste according to local rules
- Commercial rodent cleanup for warehouses, restaurants, offices and storage units

The Rodent Infestation Cleanup Process in Onate
2. Soak, never sweep
Disinfectant is applied to droppings and nesting areas first, which holds dust down during removal.
3. Wet-clean and tear out
Droppings are wetted, wiped up and bagged, and insulation or cardboard that cannot be cleaned is cut out.
4. Disinfect and inspect
Surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, fine particles are captured with HEPA equipment, and the finished space is checked.

What Onate Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
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.
What should I do first if I find droppings?
Do not sweep, vacuum or blow them. Keep children and pets away, ventilate the space, and decide whether it is a small spot or a larger job. Call Onate Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
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.
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.
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 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.
