What precautions should I take when cleaning mouse droppings?

Answer by  Wendy47 (140)

Be sure to wear plastic/rubber gloves and a dust mask. If you sweep the feces into a dustpan or vacuum them up, be sure to have a lined trashcan standing by. Seal the liner and remove from the house immediately. Finally use bleach or antibacterial cleaner on the surface.

Always use a mask, use gloves, wear clothes that cover your arms and legs and wear shoes. If possible, try to not stir dropping dust. That can cause major lung illnesses.

Wear gloves, and a mask. Maybe even eye protection.. Small rodents can carry a multitude of diseases. Including bubonic plague! Put them in a plastic bag, and toss them away quickly, maybe even burn it. Dont let other animals, or childeren around the droppings.
