Potential sources of the virus can be eliminated by removing rodents from the home. Use spring-loaded traps in infested areas. Rubber of plastic gloves should be worn when handling dead rodents. For disposal of dead mice, place the dead animal in a plastic bag, twist tie it and place it in the regular garbage. Poison or baits to control rodents can also be used but they are not a good idea unless other control measures have failed.
Poisons can also harm children and pets.
If you're unable to trap mice and they are still around, for help you may want to consult a pest control professional. Avoid using dry methods like dusting, sweeping or vacuuming. If cleaning is done in an unventilated space where there are rodent droppings, a filter-mask should be worn.
