A member asked:
My husband and i recently bought a house and didnt realize there was a mouse infestation problem. we think they might have possibly gotten into the air ducts. should we be concerned of getting hantavirus every time we turn on the a/c?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It would be prudent to have an exterminator eradicate the rodent infestation and then have an HVAC company clean and disinfect all the air ducts. This just makes common sense, whether or not any of the mice carry the virus.
