What to Do If Droppings Are Found

If you find rat poop, squirrel poop, raccoon poop, opossum poop, or snake poop in or any animal droppings in or around your home, it’s an indicator that you may have an infestation, or at the very least, some frequent and unwanted visitors. Start by collecting and putting away all food, including pet food, in secure containers. After that, thoroughly clean and disinfect floors and counters.

Before cleanup can begin, make sure you take care of any active infestations. Set traps and seal up any entryways where rats can enter (which include any openings the size of a quarter and larger). The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggests that you continue trapping for a week after sealing off your home; once the amount of snared rodents decreases to zero then the infestation has been eliminated and the area is no longer infectious.

HOW TO CLEAN UP ANIMAL POOP

When you are confident that your visitors are gone, follow these steps for safe clean up:

Open doors to ventilate and air out the space for at least 30 minutes before you begin.
Wear heavy latex gloves (never touch or handle rodent feces with your bare hands).
Spray the urine/droppings with a disinfectant and let soak for five minutes (do not sweep or vacuum droppings).
Clean up droppings with a paper towel and dispose of them in an airtight bag.
Disinfect the entire area, including any contaminated items.
Steam clean any fabric of upholstered items such as rugs, furniture, or draperies that are in the vicinity and wash cloth items in detergent and hot water.
Thoroughly wash your hands once cleanup is complete.
