Many homes in Tampa, about 44%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and urine and hold odor. With roughly 50 inches of annual rainfall in Tampa Palms, damp weather sends rodents indoors, and moisture makes droppings and nesting material smell worse.
The work often covers:
- Removal and disposal of rodent nests, nesting material and contaminated debris
- Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated waste according to local rules
- Hantavirus-safe handling of cabins, barns, sheds and long-closed buildings
- Sorting, cleaning and sanitizing of stored items and belongings that can be saved
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to remove fine particles after wet cleaning

Mouse Droppings and Hantavirus Questions Answered in Tampa Palms
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 Tampa Palms Biohazard Cleanup Help at (877) 812-4220 to talk through the safest next step.
