Preventing Hantavirus (specifically Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome) is all about one thing: rodent control. Since the virus is spread through the saliva, urine, and droppings of infected mice and rats, keeping your environment “rodent-free” is your best defense.
Here is a comprehensive guide on Hantavirus prevention in English.
1. Seal Up Your Home
The first step is to prevent rodents from entering your living space.
Fill the Gaps: Check for holes or cracks in walls, floors, and ceilings. Use steel wool, lath metal, or caulk to seal openings larger than 1/4 inch (the size of a pencil eraser).
Check Entry Points: Look around vents, pipes, and under doors. Install weather stripping or door sweeps if necessary.
