Take a step back for a moment, and do a little research about the hantavirus! This is nothing to fool around with. A respirator, gloves, maybe a tyvek suit and a shower as soon as you are done getting all the detritus into sealed plastic bags is probably the minimum. A HEPA vac is the only type I would be using here, any regular shop vac will just spread the stuff as fine dust and pathogens out the exhaust. It is just this fine dust that is probably the most dangerous.
Another approach would be either bleach or ammonia solution. Don't use both together! You will want to completely eliminate the hazard. BE CAREFUL!
