A friend asked me to help clean out the houses she made for the feral colony by my house and get them ready for winter. I just want to know if I should bring anything special with me. Also, some of those towels and blankets have been in the houses for I don't know how long and they look pretty bad! If they are infested with anything can the infestation come on me, I plan to wear rubber gloves a hat and cover myself up as best as possible. Also not comfortable with putting these things in my washing machine, any suggestions?
