Only about 36% of homes in Lafayette Parish were built before 1980, but newer homes have attics, garages and utility gaps that rodents still reach. Ossun gets about 65 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:
- Commercial rodent cleanup for warehouses, restaurants, offices and storage units
- Odor removal and deodorizing of the musky smell left by rodent urine
- Cleanup after pest control, once rodents are removed and entry points are sealed
- HEPA-filtered vacuuming and air cleaning to remove fine particles after wet cleaning
- Disinfection of hard surfaces with EPA-registered products used by label directions
The Rodent Infestation Cleanup Process in Ossun
2. Wet down the area
A disinfectant solution is applied until droppings and nests are soaked, which keeps particles from becoming airborne.
3. Clean the structure
Joists, shelves, walls and floors are washed and disinfected, and ducts or vents are treated where droppings were found.
4. Finish with air and surface care
HEPA filtration clears the air, surfaces are disinfected, and the crew walks the owner through the result.

What Ossun 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.
Can cleanup stop mice and rats from coming back?
No. Cleanup removes contamination but does not block entry points. A pest professional can seal gaps and set traps. Removing droppings and nests does help, since odor trails can draw new rodents in.
Why is insulation removed after mice or rats?
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.
What is the difference between pest control and rodent cleanup?
Pest control removes rodents and seals entry points. Rodent cleanup removes droppings, urine, nests and contaminated materials, and disinfects the area. Many properties need both, one after the other.
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.
Can rodent droppings get into my air ducts?
Yes. Mice and rats can enter ductwork and leave droppings there, and the heating and cooling system can then move dust and odor through the house. Cleanup may include treating vents and duct openings.
