i worked at a CM-5 facility that had a minor pest problem. i'm pretty sure that like many supercomputers it was cooled by bringing air from underneath the floor and blowing it up through the stack.
the _extremely_ well qualified support personnel had to finally say they weren't going to spend any more days washing rat bits off module boards.

So, umm, getting rodent poop particles airborne is the primary transmission vector of hantavirus..
That's why you're never supposed to vacuum rodent poop. Get it slight wet and wipe it off.
I have a Prius with solar cells on the roof which power a fan keeping the passenger compartment from getting too stifling while parked in the sun. An adventurous mouse exploring the engine went took a fateful fall and got shredded by that fan. Cost me several hundred dollars to get everything taken apart and cleaned, and I'm sure the tech earned that money.
