			===Cleaning Protocol===
			Take precautions before and during clean up of rodent-infested areas. Before cleaning, trap the rodents and seal up any entryways to ensure that no rodents can get in. Continue trapping for a week. If no rodents are captured, the active infestation has been eliminated and enough time has passed so that any infectious virus in the rodent’s urine/droppings or nesting material is no longer infectious.
			* Before starting clean up of the space, ventilate the space by opening the doors and windows for at least 30 minutes to allow fresh air to enter the area. Use cross-ventilation and leave the area during the airing-out period.
			* '''When you begin cleaning, it is important that you do not stir up dust by sweeping or vacuuming up droppings, urine, or nesting materials.'''
			* There is a 'rodent abatement' crate located in the secure tool storage closet. Wear gloves and a dust mask at a minimum.
			* You should not sweep/vacuum without first wetting down the area with a diluted bleach mixture. There is a white mister with a hand pump located in secure tool storage for this purpose. The ratio of bleach:water should be 1:10.
			* After the area has been sprayed down and let to soak for 5 minutes, use paper towels to wipe up any droppings and nesting materials. Place them in two layers of clear trash bags and tie shut tightly.
			* Spray with disinfectant and/or mop the area after it has been cleaned.

			===Plugging Holes===
			* The abatement crate has an assortment of wire mesh, chicken wire, metal flashing, and quickcrete. Fill any holes with the mesh or chicken wire, cover them with a layer of quickcrete, and/or cover with flashing.
			* Rats can fit through very small holes - if you notice any wide enough to fit your thumb through, that's the rule of thumb.
