Common Questions About Rodent Infestation Cleanup in Spring Branch North, Houston, TX
Is mouse poop toxic?
Mouse droppings and urine can carry germs, including hantavirus in some wild rodents. They are not poisonous like a chemical, but breathing in dust or touching them without protection can make people sick.

Worker safety follows OSHA rules for contaminated materials, and waste disposal is handled according to local requirements. The CDC publishes plain-language guidance on safe rodent cleanup, and your local health department can answer area questions.
