Bernalillo County Wildlife Removal Tip:

Effective Rodent Feces/urine Smell Removal - If you have successfully evicted rodents from your property - and had all the gaps, space, nooks and crannies professionally sealed in order to prevent a re-invasion you will be left, no doubt, with a seemingly mammoth cleaning task as well as the problem of rodent feces/urine smell removal. Rodents tend to spray both their feces and their urine around the whole of their living area - this can make thorough cleaning difficult. If you have had rodents in your attic for a prolonged period of time you may have to remove all of the insulation material since it is, most likely, soaked in fecal matter.

While cleaning your attic you must be sure to keep it well ventilated in order to facilitate the rodent feces/urine smell removal. Of course, it is essential not to leave any gaps in the ventilation system that any rodent could use to gain re-entry to your home. You must wear protective clothing, gloves, and a mask while cleaning the area used by the rodents - this is in order to protect yourself from the smell, the cleaning products, and any bacteria that may be in the waste products. A thorough deep clean of the area, removal of the insulation material and proper ventilation will mean, eventually, that your attic will smell good and be safe once again!
