Prepare to clean up after rodentsĪlways take precautions when cleaning to reduce your risk of getting sick. If you get sick and are concerned that it may be due to a rodent-borne disease, talk to a healthcare provider and tell them about any exposure you may have had to rodents and/or their droppings and urine.

If you have mice or rats in or around your home or vehicle, it’s important to clean up all urine, droppings (poop), dead rodents, and nesting materials safely.
