Once the immediate rodent issue has been dealt with, proofing is one of the most important steps to help reduce the chance of mice and rats getting back in.

Here at CW Property and EnvironmentalServices , we offer practical rodent proofing solutions, including:

✅ Rodent mesh vent covers
Helping protect air bricks and vents from mice, rats and insect ingress.

✅ hole filling
Used to seal small gaps and access points where rodents may be entering.

✅ Downpipe guards
Helping prevent rats and mice using downpipes as hidden access routes into rooflines, walls and buildin
Proofing helps create a stronger barrier around your property and supports long-term control - not just a short-term fix.

🚨Cockroach infestation leads to £30,000 penalty for London restaurant.

A London restaurant owner has been hit with nearly £30,000 in fines and costs after a cockroach infestation was discovered in food preparation areas.

Following a complaint, Environmental Health Officers from Waltham Forest Council inspected Shish Mahal Tandoori Restaurant in Leyton and found clear evidence of cockroach activity where open food and ingredients were being handled. The premises were immediately closed.

The restaurant’s parent company, Leyton Dining Club Ltd, pleaded guilty to offences including:

⚠️ Failing to implement adequate pest control
⚠️ Failing to keep the premises clean

The court ordered a £25,000 fine plus over £5,400 in costs.

A spokesperson for Waltham Forest Council, said: “This case clearly demonstrates the need for food business operators to address pest control before they present an imminent risk to public health.

“While owners often don’t see the benefit of preventative measures or feel it's worth the investment, basic pest control measures are an absolute necessity when it comes to protecting the public from health and safety hazards.

“Waltham Forest Council wants to work with food businesses to encourage best practice wherever possible, and we encourage members of the public to raise their concerns with the council – as they did in this case – in order for us to target enforcement action where it is most needed.”

Anyone else heard of this 'Hantavirus'? New one to me. It on that cruise ship spread by rodents.

Frightening isn’t it?
We have already had calls asking about it and should people be worried.

The answer is don’t panic. Rodents carry a lot of diseases but the Hantavirus isn’t a UK spread one. However it may get here one day.
During Covid we all washed our hands more and took care of ourselves. Standards shouldn’t have dropped.
Wash, clean, hang laundry outside as UV kills bacteria.
As with any respiratory disorder, if you feel unwell go and see a medical professional.
