1. It’s understandable to be concerned about hantavirus, especially with mouse droppings in your storage unit. Here are some steps you can take to address the situation safely:

   1. Avoid direct contact: Don’t touch the droppings or any nesting materials with your bare hands. Wear gloves, and try to avoid stirring them up to reduce the risk of inhalation.

   2. Ventilate the area: Before you clean, open windows and doors to air out the space for at least 30 minutes. This will help disperse any potential virus particles in the air.

   3. Clean up safely: Use disinfectant to dampen the droppings and nesting materials before cleaning them up. This helps to minimize the dust that can carry the virus. Use a paper towel to pick up the droppings and dispose of them in a sealed bag.

   4. Disinfect the area: After removing droppings and debris, thoroughly clean the area with a disinfectant to kill any remaining virus particles.

   5. Prevent future infestations: Seal any holes or cracks in storage unit doors and walls, and store items in airtight containers.

   6. Monitor for symptoms: If you develop flu-like symptoms after exposure, it’s important to seek medical attention.

   If you feel overwhelmed or uncertain about handling the situation, consider contacting a pest control professional for assistance. Stay safe!
