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.
Buildings that sit closed for long periods can hold heavy rodent buildup, including nests and droppings that are dry and dusty. Crews ventilate first, wet down and use protective gear, since these are the settings tied to hantavirus exposure.
Sometimes, but not always. Many homeowners policies exclude damage from pests that builds up over time, though wording differs. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos, keep receipts and ask what paperwork is needed.

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.
