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.
