Recent media coverage surrounding a suspected hantavirus outbreak linked to a cruise vessel has understandably raised public concern. The National Pest Technicians Association (NPTA) would like to provide some clear and balanced information for UK households and businesses.

The reports currently relate to a suspected South American strain of hantavirus associated with wild rodents native to parts of South America. These strains are different from those occasionally identified within the United Kingdom and are linked to rodent species that are not present in the UK.

In Britain, the rodents most commonly encountered in and around properties are the Brown Rat and the House Mouse. While rodents can carry a range of diseases and should never be ignored, the severe forms of hantavirus currently being discussed in international news reports are not established within the UK rodent population.

The UK has robust public health monitoring systems in place and there is currently no indication of a wider public health threat within the United Kingdom linked to these reports.

It is important, however, not to become complacent regarding rodent activity in homes, workplaces, food premises, farms and public buildings. Rodents are capable of contaminating food, damaging property through gnawing and nesting behaviour, and spreading other illnesses through their urine, droppings and parasites.

Good hygiene, proofing, waste management and prompt professional pest control remain the most effective ways to reduce rodent risks.

The NPTA would always advise the public to avoid direct contact with rodent droppings or nesting materials. Areas affected by rodent activity should be cleaned carefully and safely, avoiding dry sweeping which can disturb contaminated dust particles.

If signs of rodent activity are identified, professional advice should be sought promptly from a qualified pest management company.

The National Pest Technicians Association will continue to monitor official guidance and developments, but at present there is no reason for alarm within the UK.

For further information on professional pest management and finding a qualified pest controller, visit the NPTA website.

Another successful bird control project complete at Containerville 🏙️🐦

Our team recently carried out a 150-metre pigeon spiking installation to protect the site from nesting and fouling. Using high-quality Defender Bird Spikes, we created a discreet but highly effective barrier across key ledges and structures.

Pigeons can cause serious damage to buildings over time—not to mention hygiene risks—so proactive prevention like this is essential. The Defender bird spike system allows us to humanely deter birds without causing harm, keeping the space clean, safe, and fully operational.

✔️ 150 metres of precision-installed spiking
✔️ Humane and effective bird deterrent
✔️ Long-lasting protection for the site

If you’re dealing with persistent bird issues, get in touch with our team today.

Another successful job completed 🐦💪

We were called out to tackle a heavy pigeon infestation which had led to a significant build-up of guano on a roof — not only unsightly, but also a serious health hazard.

Our team carried out a full pigeon guano clean, safely removing all waste and sanitising the affected area to restore a clean and safe environment.

To prevent the problem from returning, we installed Bird Free gel — an effective and humane deterrent that keeps pigeons away without causing harm. We also replaced damaged solar panel spikes to ensure full protection moving forward.
