About 42% of homes in San Antonio were built before 1980, and older houses often have more gaps, vents and crawl spaces where rodents get in. Whatever the vacancy rate in San Antonio, a property that has sat closed for a season should be aired out before anyone enters, and droppings should be wet down, not swept.

Common Questions About Rodent Infestation Cleanup in Misty Oaks, San Antonio, TX
Will insurance pay for rodent cleanup?
Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from pests that builds up over time, though wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos, keep receipts and ask what paperwork is needed.
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 Misty Oaks 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.
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.
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.
What is the difference between pest control and rodent cleanup?
Pest control removes rodents and seals entry points. Rodent cleanup removes droppings, urine, nests and contaminated materials, and disinfects the area. Many properties need both, one after the other.
