As we head into warmer weather and start opening cabins, sheds, and garages, it’s a good time to refresh on Hantavirus prevention.

If you need to clean out an area where rodents have made a nest, be careful not to stir up dust or droppings. Deer mice in CA can be infected with hantavirus, which can spread to people through the air.

Here are some important rodent infestation safety tips:
* Ventilate the area by opening windows and doors for 30 minutes.
* Wear a N95 mask to avoid inhaling airborne viral particles.
* Avoid sweeping or vacuuming dry mouse waste to prevent airborne viral particles.
* Disinfect with a bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) or another disinfectant. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
* Wear gloves when cleaning up waste, seal it in bags, and disinfect gloves before removing them.
* Wash hands thoroughly after handling waste and disinfecting.

If you experience symptoms like fever, chills, shortness of breath, nausea, or weakness, especially after exposure to rodent waste, seek medical care immediately. Stay safe and informed!
