When you find rodent droppings or urine in your house, it’s important not to vacuum or sweep the waste or surrounding area. This can stir up dust and spread the waste, potentially contributing to the spreading of dangerous germs.
Instead, wearing rubber, latex, or vinyl gloves, spray the droppings or urine with a disinfectant or a mixture of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water. Let it soak for 5 minutes before wiping everything up with a paper towel and disposing of the waste in a sealed garbage bag. To be extra careful, disinfect surrounding items that you think might have been exposed to the droppings.
