Sanitation Checklist

Before cleaning basements, crawlspaces, and other storage areas, it is necessary to completely remove the existing rodent infestation first. Once there is no more evidence of activity then you can begin cleaning these areas. Before cleaning the space, ventilate the area by opening the doors and windows for at least 30 minutes to allow fresh air to enter the area and to remove potentially contaminated air from the area. Use cross-ventilation and leave the area during the airing-out period.

• Wear rubber, latex, or vinyl gloves when cleaning up urine, droppings, or nesting materials. Note that a dust mask may provide some protection against dust, molds, and insulation fibers, but does not protect against viruses.
• Treat anything that has urine, droppings, and nesting materials with a household disinfectant prepared according to the label instructions for dilution and disinfection time. Soak well. This will inactivate any virus. Use a paper towel or rag to pick up the materials and dispose of them.
• Remove the items and place them in an area that is well-ventilated and exposed to direct sunlight.
• Some contaminated stored materials, such as clothing, books, etc. can be decontaminated, and items that are no longer needed can be discarded.
• Dispose of any cardboard boxes contaminated with urine or droppings. Plastic, glass, or metal containers can be disinfected by spraying them with solutions or disinfectants.
• Wash hands well with soap and warm water.
