Vacant homes and unused buildings are common in Detroit, where the vacancy rate is 22%. Dry, dusty droppings in those spaces need wet cleaning with protection. Many homes in Detroit, about 90%, were built before 1980. Older insulation and wood framing soak up droppings and urine and hold odor.
The work often covers:
- Safe wet-clean removal of mouse and rat droppings from floors, shelves and surfaces
- Odor removal and deodorizing of the musky smell left by rodent urine
- Documentation of the work for landlords, buyers, inspectors and insurers
- Disinfection of hard surfaces with EPA-registered products used by label directions
- Tear-out of insulation soiled by droppings and urine in attics and crawl spaces

What Weatherby Property Owners Ask About Rat and Mouse Droppings
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.
Should I sweep or vacuum rodent droppings?
No. Dry sweeping or standard vacuuming stirs up dust and can spread germs. Air out the space, wet the droppings with disinfectant, wipe them up with paper towels and seal everything in a bag.
How much does rodent droppings cleanup cost?
It depends on the size of the area, how much insulation is soiled and how hard the space is to reach. A small shed costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
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.
How do I know if mice have been in my attic?
Common signs are small pellet droppings, shredded nesting material, grease marks along beams, gnaw marks and a musky smell. Scratching sounds at night can also point to rodents. A cleanup team can judge how much needs to be removed.
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.
