Ensure all cracks and openings in homes and storage buildings are less than 14 inch in space. Seal holes with steel wool, screen or cement. 5. Dispose of all trash and clutter. Do not store fireplace wood, lumber or other debris near the house. Outside wood storage is ideal habitat for rodents. Store it at least 100 feet from the house and 12 inches off the ground or in an enclosed building. 6. Keep spring-loadetraps set at all times in homes and storage buildings near frequently used entrances. 7. Before sweeping rodent droppings or removing dead rodents from traps, use a household disinfectant to kill the virus. Examples are" a diluted bleach solution (3 tablespoons chlorine this may bleach the bleach per gallon of water color out of fabric material) or Lysol (mixed according to bottle direction). Solution should be mixed just before use. Spray the solution on the rodent and droppings to prevent dust from being created. Use rubber gloves when handling dead rodents or sweeping up excreta. Place a dead rodent and droppings in a double, tightly sealed plastic bag and dispose by burying or placing in the garbage. Wash and disinfect reusable gloves and hands when cleaning is complete.

Room reservations QHow are Space "A" rooms reserved how far in advance should you book them? t I would like to address a common I miscon-ceptio- n concerning Space Available (Space "A") government quarters. The Lodging Office does not set aside a block of rooms specifically designated for Priority 2, or Space "A," personnel. All government quarters are considered on a first-comd basis according to the priof personnel. ority category Individuals who are authorized under the category as Space "A" personnel include: dependents accompanying official TDY personnel, married military personnel traveling with their families on a CONUS PCS orders, retirees, active-dut- y members and their families traveling e, first-serve- on ordinary leave. These individuals are lodged on a space available basis after confirmed Priority 1 personnel have been lodged. Priority 1 personnel include: government personnel traveling on official, invitational or permissive travel orders, Guard and Reserve personnel on emergency leave and government personnel and their families arriving or departing overseas on PCS orders. Authorized individuals who fall under the Space "A" category can make tentative reservations for lodging for the length of their stay; however, they are required to confirm their tentative reservations on the morning of their tentative check-i- date in the event that all spaces were not required to lodge confirmed Priority 1 personnel. The length of stay is also determined y basis.

If government quarters need to be obtained and you fall within Priority 2 requirements, to increase your chances of obtaining space available quarters, you need to make tentative reservations as far in advance as possible. This will not ensure that you will receive quarters, but it will increase your chances of obtaining space availn day-to-da- able quarters. |
