Only about 8% of homes in The Woodlands were built before 1980, but newer homes have attics, garages and utility gaps that rodents still reach. The Woodlands gets about 51 inches of rain a year, and wet seasons push mice and rats into attics, garages and crawl spaces looking for dry shelter.
The work often covers:
The crew opens the space where safe, keeps people out, and checks how far droppings, urine and nests have spread.
Droppings and nesting debris are wetted, collected and bagged by hand, never swept or blown.
Soiled insulation, boxes and nesting debris are packed out, and salvageable items are set aside for cleaning.
HEPA filtration clears the air, surfaces are disinfected, and the crew walks the owner through the result.

A rodent cleanup service or biohazard cleanup team usually does this work. Attics and crawl spaces are tight, dusty and hard to reach, and soiled insulation often has to be removed. Pest control deals with the animals themselves.
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.
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.
Hantavirus is a virus carried by some wild rodents. It is uncommon, but it can cause serious lung illness. People are mainly exposed by breathing in dust from droppings, urine or nests.
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.
Insulation soaks up droppings, urine and odor and cannot be reliably cleaned. Removing it takes away both the contamination and the smell. Replacement insulation is usually a separate job.
