Maniac Mice
Like rats, mice are also vectors for disease. You have probably heard of Hantavirus. Hantavirus is a nasty disease that is spread by breathing in dust that has been contaminated by mice droppings or urine. Most cases of Hantavirus occur when someone is sweeping or vacuuming in an area where mice have been present. As a disease, Hantavirus is serious. Three out of five cases result in death. If you are cleaning up after mice, do not sweep and do not vacuum. Wear gloves and wet down the area with a mixture of bleach and water. Avoid creating any dust. Let the area soak for five minutes and then clean it up. Diseases are not the only things that make mice maniacs, here are a few mouse facts.
