Wasp Control
Wasps tend to show up during the late summer and early autumn months. They can create a problem due to the way they can get so close to us and often target our food and drink, specifically if it is sweet. They can also sting us if they feel they are under threat. Places where wasps build their nests include trees, lofts, the edges of roofs, sheds and drive ways. Call us
Ants
Many people have had issues with ant invasions in the UK. Ants often invade homes and kitchens in search of food and can be very tricky to get rid of without outside assistance.
Mice and rats
Mice and rats can cause problems all throughout the year, unlike some other pests. They tend to frequent both urban and rural areas and look for shelter and food in and around buildings. Not only can they create damage to buildings but they can also pose a danger to human health.
Flies
Flies can be very serious, specifically during the hotter months. Good examples of flies that often cause issues in UK homes include house flies, cluster flies and house flies. Some flies can spread diseases as well as being a nuisance.
Moths
Moths can cause significant damage to stored food, textiles and garments. You may be specifically eager to overcome a problem with moths if you have valuable textiles or well-stocked cupboards.
Cockroaches
Roaches may not be as usual as some of the other pests on this checklist, but they can carry diseases and be very hard to eliminate from buildings without external support.
Bedbugs
Bedbugs can create issues in both residential and industrial environments like hotels and resorts. They are diminutive insects which feed on the blood of people and can cause scratchy red welts all over the body. Female bedbugs can lay 500 eggs in their life times.
