Prevention card, showing both sidesThe Prevention of Hantavirus Disease Post-It Card (English and Spanish)

Post it on your refrigerator!  Nail it up in your shed or barn!  Give a copy to your friends and neighbors!

This handy card has quick tips and pictures so you'll always remember how to rodent-proof your home or clean up if you find rodents.  It's available in both English and Spanish versions.

Note  Common household disinfectants can be used to substitute for bleach solution when spraying down areas infested by rodents.  If you're worried that the surface to be sprayed will stain or discolor, detergent -- not plain soap -- can be used instead.

You can get the card in two formats:

1) As a web .gif image.  Click below to get the language version you want.  You can then print it and cut it.

English version (.gif file, about 60 Kb)
Spanish version (.gif file, about 60 Kb)

2) As .tif files (each 3.3 x 11 inches) that can be sized for reproduction and quick-printed for distribution.   You could create a two-sided card, with English on one side, Spanish on the other, and then laminate it!  Click below to download the two .tif files in compressed, zipped format:
