A common occurrence in late spring and summer are Bee or Wasp swarms. Although many swarms are migrating and will leave the property without building a nest within the space of a couple of days they can still cause undue stress or worry. If the problem does persist beyond this time then a nest has most likely been established and we’re on hand and ready to ensure its destruction. The nest is fumigated with either an effective insecticide spray or foam which are either sprayed directly into the nest or sprayed in the vicinity which the occupants carry into the nest upon their return. Honey or Bumble Bee nests would not be subject to extermination due to their classification as protected species. A beekeeper is sent out instead who will remove the nest without killing the Bees.
If you run a food business, it is a legal requirement to ensure your property has adequate procedures to prevent and address the risk any pest issues may cause. We offer a contract service where a number of visits per year are provided to ensure your property is being protected and any required treatment is taken care of.
If you are reporting numerous bites or you have detected a number of tiny droppings in the house you may have a Bed Bug, Flea or Cockroach infestation. These pests have notoriety in regards to their resistance to extermination and the difficulty to subdue. To overcome this obstacle, our pest controllers are licensed to use very potent sprays and treatment products. Bed Bugs and Fleas are subject to an extensive spray treatment in the property and Cockroaches are treated through the implementation of sticky gel bait in salient areas where the Cockroaches will find the bait which in itself carries a high chance of success.
Mice, Rats and Squirrels can infest a property and can cause serious structural problems in the long term. As they need to keep gnawing to inhibit the constant growth of their front incisors, they can gnaw through electrical wiring and cause structural damage (damage to electrical wiring carries the risk of electrical fires.) The indicators of an infestation would be the sound of scratching inside the walls or ceiling or through visual evidence in the form of droppings or holes. If this happens just contact us and we can proceed in tackling the problem. The pest controller will investigate the property, determine the hot spots for rodent activity and apply the bait boxes and poisons throughout the property, aiming for the total destruction of the rodent infestation. Whilst on site we usually arrange a second visit to re-attend for trap retrieval.
Insect infestations when they occur can be an irritant but they are easily treated using powders or sprays as appropriate. The powder we use is very effective against Ants, they digest it and the effects emerge with immediate effect. The sprays are effective against Moths, Flies and other insects.
Have you experienced any Bird disturbances? In the past few years we have expanded into the service of providing deterrence services through the implementation of netting or spikes to prevent any unwelcome Bird habitation. We aim to deliver a high quality and competitively priced Bird deterrent service through identifying the primary areas (either through investigative work or through your advice) and determining the best treatment measures through careful consideration. Anti-Bird netting can be applied to prevent Birds entering and roosting in areas you do not want to be disturbed and bird control spikes can be fitted to ledges and locations Birds tend to perch to keep them Bird-free.
On a few occasions you may find your garden has been invaded by Moles. Through the creation of hills and tunnels, Moles undermine both your garden’s appearance but also compromise the lawn’s integrity through tunnelling. Traps are placed down the Mole holes which catch any intrigued Moles, killing them on contact.
Removal of dead pests with no required treatment is also a service we provide. If you find yourself with a dead pest that needs disposing we are only a phone call away. We understand the displeasure the decomposition stage can cause and would be happy to remedy the problem for you.
