🚨 HANTAVIRUS 🚨
While hantavirus remains extremely rare, our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones affected by this tragic situation. ❤️
With recent news regarding hantavirus, many people have understandable concerns. However, it’s important to keep the facts in perspective and rely on education — not fear.
According to the CDC, hantavirus remains extremely rare in the United States. Since tracking began in 1993, fewer than 900 laboratory-confirmed cases have been reported nationwide. Most cases historically occurred in western states, primarily west of the Mississippi River. (CDC)
The New Jersey Department of Health has stated that:
✔️ There are currently no confirmed hantavirus cases in New Jersey
✔️ There has never been a confirmed hantavirus case reported in New Jersey history
✔️ The overall risk to New Jersey residents remains extremely low (NJ.gov)
According to the CDC, hantavirus infection is most commonly linked to prolonged exposure to infected rodent droppings, urine, saliva, or nesting materials — especially in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas where contaminated particles may become airborne during sweeping or cleanup activities. (CDC)
The important thing to remember is:
✔️ Hantavirus is very rare
✔️ Simple rodent prevention and sanitation measures are highly effective
✔️ Addressing rodent activity early greatly reduces risk
At Mario’s Pest Control, we believe in educating our community with honest information and practical prevention — not fear-based marketing tactics.
As a family-owned local company serving Hamilton and surrounding areas, our goal is to help homeowners and businesses stay informed, protected, and confident through professional inspections, exclusion recommendations, sanitation guidance, and rodent control services.
