Comment on What's the vaporization temperature of mouse urine?
volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 5 months agoLol oh Jesus please don’t use the heat gun (although I would love to use it myself), apart from the danger, I’ll also point out that while you might not melt the plastic, you might still destabilize it and/or release some actually toxic (and also smelly) compounds. I imagine a low heat blow with a normal hair dryer just to air it out would be a smart step though.
As for what works best in terms of encapsulation - I would try to ask in a community of rodent lovers. I can imagine that those guys have their secret weapons.

Haha thanks! I am at my wits end, and want this over before it warms up in my area. I was kind of hoping some chemist might come in and give some funky way to destroy the compounds. The solution can literally be the most crazy crazily toxic compounds… as long as in the end they all cook off and get rid of the mouse nonsense.
I have access to money, chemicals, really strong fans and other equipment, and a lot of open air.

Came back to read the other comments, take the enzyme spray!!! I highly vote for the enzyme spray. If there’s an enzyme for your problem then always take the enzyme.
Ozone sounds also really cool but keep in mind that ozone itself smells weird and maybe don’t exactly breathe it in. (The smell will go away fast but I have worked with quite a few people who felt quite lightheaded after breathing in the ozone from a freshly UV-ed workbench.)
Whatever you choose, read the label instructions first to make sure it doesn’t corrode stuff, break down plastic etc.

Have a recommendation for a good enzymatic?

Didn’t someone above mention one? I don’t, unfortunately, and I live in Germany, so probably anything I’d find wouldn’t be available where you live. But I am very intrigued now I have to admit. (Also because my sister has a cat who pisses everywhere and I love cats but their house smells awful. Enzymatic sprays sound amazing.)
