The link on that page for the USFWS Disinfection Protocol is out of date.
It has procedures from March. The supposedly final June versions are here:
<http://www.fws.gov/northeast/wnscavers.html>. Note that in several places
these new documents state that quaternary ammonium compounds with a
concentration of >3% should be used. According to people I have spoken with,
that is incorrect. It should state 0.3%. This is actually what the second
USFWS document says in the table on page 5, in contradiction to what it says on
pages 2 and 3 of the same document. This is very unfortunate. It is actually
difficult to find these compounds in concentrations as high as 3%.
