We’re aware of the recent news surrounding hantavirus being discussed online and in the media. While the overall risk in Florida remains low, rodent-borne illnesses are still something homeowners should take seriously and stay informed about.
Hantavirus has been around for decades and is spread through exposure to contaminated rodent droppings, urine, saliva, and nesting materials — especially in enclosed areas like attics, garages, sheds, and crawl spaces.
The good news is there’s no reason to panic. The best thing homeowners can do is stay proactive, use proper precautions, and address rodent activity early before it becomes a bigger issue.
If you notice:
• Scratching noises
• Droppings
• Nesting materials
• Strong odors
• Signs of rodents in your attic or garage
Avoid disturbing contaminated areas without proper protection, as sweeping or vacuuming droppings can release particles into the air.
At Ratman Rodent & Wildlife Removal, we help homeowners safely:
✔ Inspect attics and crawl spaces
✔ Remove rodent activity
✔ Sanitize contaminated areas
✔ Seal entry points
✔ Restore damaged insulation
Our goal isn’t to scare people — it’s to help families stay informed, protected, and ahead of the problem.
Inspections are 100% free
