Rodent infestations can leave properties heavily contaminated and unsafe, even after pest activity has been brought under control. Urine, droppings, nesting materials and carcasses present serious health risks and require specialist cleaning and decontamination.
Our rodent infestation clean-up service is designed to safely remove contamination and restore hygiene standards following rat or mouse infestations.
This service is separate from pest control and focuses on post-infestation cleaning, decontamination and environmental stabilisation.
We work with landlords, letting agents, housing providers, councils and commercial clients, providing a professional and discreet service.
Rodent contamination is often widespread and not limited to visible areas. Our service focuses on the controlled removal of contaminated materials and thorough decontamination of affected spaces.
This may include the removal of droppings, urine contamination, nesting materials and carcasses, followed by cleaning and disinfection of accessible surfaces using professional-grade products appropriate to the level of risk.
Lofts, roof voids, floor voids, cupboards and enclosed spaces are addressed where contamination has spread beyond living areas.
Following contamination removal, affected areas are disinfected to reduce health risks associated with rodent-borne bacteria and pathogens.
Where required, environmental control measures may be used to support drying and stabilisation following cleaning and treatment. This can include access to industrial heaters and dehumidifiers where appropriate, particularly in voids and poorly ventilated spaces.
Rodent-contaminated environments can present additional hazards, including airborne particles, hidden contamination and unsafe access areas.
All operatives are DBS checked, with checks renewed regularly, making them suitable for work in sensitive or high-risk environments. Risk assessments and appropriate controls are applied to ensure work is carried out safely and professionally.
This service does not include pest control or extermination. Active rodent infestations should be treated before clean-up works are carried out. Where required, pest control services can be arranged separately via our specialist pest control division at Pest Shield.
