Clean up of rodent infested areas:

Wear rubber, latex, vinyl or nitrile gloves.
Do not stir up dust by vacuuming, sweeping, or any other means.
Thoroughly wet contaminated areas including trapped mice, droppings,  
nests with a bleach solution or household disinfectant. Hypochlorite  
(bleach) solution: Mix 1 and � cups of household bleach in 1 gallon  
of water.
Once everything is soaked for 10 minutes, remove all of the nest  
material, mice or droppings with damp towel and then mop or sponge  
the area with bleach solution or household disinfectant.
Spray dead rodents with disinfectant and then double-bag along with  
all cleaning materials. Bury, burn, or throw out rodent in  
appropriate waste disposal system.
Disinfect gloves with disinfectant or soap and water before taking  
them off.
After taking off the clean gloves, thoroughly wash hands with soap  
and water (or use a waterless alcohol-based hand rub when soap is not  
available).
