Disinfectants can inactivate the virus, which is why droppings are soaked before they are wiped up. The method matters as much as the product. Follow label directions and never mix cleaners.
The odor comes from urine in insulation, wood and fabric, so it must be removed or treated at the source. Crews take out soaked insulation and treat surfaces. Air fresheners only cover the smell.
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.
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.
