Use a bleach/water solution. wear Tyvek coveralls, respirator,face shield and rubber gloves. Look up Hanta virus. Mice carry it and it is bad news. Bring lots of disposable rags or paper towels and double plastic bag the waste.   Bleach is far better at killing viruses than alcohol.   Bill

Get pet snakes to live at the repeater! At the site out west I had 6 meter stuff in, the owner spread poison bait outside, but that was mostly to get ride of the ground squirrels that burrowed around the footings. It did keep the mice away too. -Kevin -Original Message- From:

Yes, by all means DO NOT breathe the dust! I can't remember the name of the disease, but it can be VERY nasty! Wear a dust mask while cleaning. Decon does work well, but then you'll have a bunch of dead mice to clean out - and if you're not there on a regular basis they will stink. Mark

The only reason I suggest alcohol, is it is not corrosive to the electronics.   O course, if you remove the covers and use bleach, that is ine, as long as you rinse them off.   I like to use bleach for everything in my house. And Lysol wipes, or the Kirkland branded wipes from Costco. 73!
