Cleaning rodent-infested areas.

We have all run into a situation where rats or mice have been present and have left their ugly calling cards. Here are a few approaches to getting rid of those rodent memories. Use cross-ventilation when entering a previously unventilated enclosed room or dwelling prior to cleanup and you certainly should use a good quality mask. Wear rubber, latex, vinyl, or nitrile gloves. Do not stir up dust by vacuuming, sweeping, or any other means rather thoroughly wet contaminated areas with a bleach solution or household disinfectant. A bleach mixture of 1 and 1/2 cups of household bleach in 1 gallon of water. Once everything is wet, take up contaminated materials with damp towel and then mop or sponge the area with bleach solution or household disinfectant. If there are carcasses, spray with disinfectant and then double-bag along with all cleaning materials and throw bag out in an appropriate waste disposal system.
