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.
It depends on the size of the area, how much insulation is soiled and how hard the space is to reach. A small shed costs less than a full attic. The team sets the price after seeing the space.
