Vinyl or Rubber gloves.

Eye protection if needed.

Protective clothing covers if needed.

Do not vacuum or sweep rodent droppings‎.

Diseases are mainly spread to people from rodents when they breathe in contaminated air. Don’t vacuum or sweep rodent urine, droppings, or nesting materials. This can cause tiny droplets containing viruses to get into the air.

Step 1: Put on rubber or vinyl gloves.

Step 2: Spray urine and droppings with bleach solution or an EPA-registered disinfectant until very wet. Let it soak for 5 minutes or according to instructions on the disinfectant label.

Step 3: Use paper towels to wipe up the urine or droppings and cleaning product off of the Diffuser beads.

Step 4: Throw the paper towels in a covered garbage can that is regularly emptied.

Step 5: Wash gloved hands with soap and water or a disinfectant before removing gloves.
Step 7: Wash hands with soap and warm water after removing gloves. Use a waterless alcohol-based hand rub when soap is not available, and hands are not visibly soiled.
