Answer by: Charlotte Brennand, Utah State University Extension Food Safety Specialist One of the problems in storing food is that it can attract rodents. Rodents have been identified as carriers of hantavirus, so care needs to be taken when working in an area that shows signs of rodent infestation. If your storage area shows signs of mice droppings or nests: Wear protective clothing including latex or rubber gloves. Masks are desirable but inexpensive painters! masks are not effective and may give a false feeling of security. Masks need to filter. have a HEPA or If a closed area, let it air out for 30 minutes before beginning boards, walls and floors where there are electric, gas or water pipes running through them. Is there a gap under the door? Seal cracks and holes with m- aterials that are resistant to gnawing. These include concrete mortar, metal pieces, steel wool and screening. Package food defensively. Metal containers, glass bottles and heavy plastic containers with tight fitting lids are resistant to rodents. Paper boxes, plastic bags and cellophane packages or packages that do not close thoroughly are easily accessible to rodents. Sacks of flour and bags of grains need a better barrier.
