Cleaning Owl Houses and guarding against Hantavirus
Thanks to Joan Morris of the San Jose Mercury News for this suggestion:
September is a good time of year to clear out old nesting material from owl houses. If you choose to clean out your owl house be sure to guard against Hantavirus (carried by rodents) by using gloves and a dust mask. It's best to not use a broom as it will stir up the dust and rodent droppings.
