Those little black spots? They might not be coffee stains ☕️💩

These images show bed bugs and some of the tell-tale signs they leave behind.

Those dark, almost ink-like spots on wood, mattresses and bed frames can be bed bug faecal spotting. They can look surprisingly similar to tiny coffee or ink stains, but they’re a good reason to investigate further! 🪳

Bed bugs are excellent at hiding in small cracks and crevices, particularly around beds and furniture. Spotting the signs early can make a big difference!

If you suspect bed bugs, don’t wait for the problem to spread. We can inspect the property, identify the signs of activity and recommend a tailored treatment plan.

Sometimes, it’s best to leave the ants to the professionals 🐜

There are plenty of DIY ant treatments available, but they aren’t always the best solution for an established infestation.

Using the wrong product, or applying it incorrectly, can disturb ant trails and cause colonies to relocate, potentially spreading the problem to another area of the property rather than resolving it.

Ant infestations can also require different treatment approaches depending on the species, location and extent of the activity.

That’s where professional treatment comes in. We assess the situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment to tackle the problem effectively.

Someone’s moved into the shed and they’re not paying rent! 👀

Starting the week with this wasp nest, tucked away in a shed!

Wasp nests can turn up in all sorts of places, so if you’re seeing wasps repeatedly coming and going from the same area, there could be a nest nearby.

When the drains are dry… the rats might be making a detour! 🐀💩

This drain showed some pretty clear signs of rat activity, with droppings indicating that rodents are using the drainage system to move around.

During prolonged periods of hot, dry weather, some drains and drainage systems can have much less water flowing through them, potentially creating easier routes for rodents to move through.

It’s one of the reasons drains are an important part of our rodent investigations. We don’t just look inside the property! We look at how rodents could be getting in, where they’re travelling and what could be contributing to the problem.

And while we’re talking about the dry weather… 🔥

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the recent wildfires. With conditions so dry, please follow local advice and avoid unnecessary fire risks, including BBQs, bonfires and fireworks where restrictions or warnings are in place.

Stay safe, stay aware… and keep an eye on those drains! 🐀

Not the kind of tenant you want in your property… 🪳🏠

This glue board was part of a cockroach treatment at an unoccupied flat, helping us monitor activity and identify the extent of the infestation.

Empty properties can sometimes go unnoticed when it comes to pest activity, which is why regular inspections and prompt treatment are particularly important for landlords and estate agents.

Whether it’s cockroaches, rodents, ants, wasps or something else making themselves at home, we offer a range of professional pest treatments tailored to the property and the problem.

🏠 Landlord or estate agent? We can help keep your properties pest free and ready for the next occupants.

The warmer weather is bringing them out… 🐝☀️

Another wasp nest treated this week! This one tucked away above a garage door 🏠

We had noticed that wasp activity has increased and established nests can quickly become much more noticeable as the colony grows.

If you’re seeing wasps repeatedly flying to and from the same area, there’s a good chance there’s a nest nearby.

Spotted a few too many wasps around your home or business? Give us a call and we’ll help identify the problem and advise on the best treatment 🐝

That gap showing the natural daylight? A rodent sees an open door! 🚪☀️

To us, it's just a small gap beneath a shutter door but to a rodent, it's the perfect way in.

🐭 Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as 6 mm.

🐀 Rats only need 15–20 mm to gain access.

That's why every survey we carry out is about more than just finding signs of activity. We also identify how pests are getting in and provide practical proofing recommendations to help prevent future infestations.

Even better, we don't just advise on proofing! We can carry out the work too, giving you a long-term solution as well as treating the current problem.

Save the burgers for your guests… not the ants! 🐜🍔

Summer is made for BBQs, garden parties and eating outdoors, but unfortunately, ants think so too!

A few simple tips can help keep them off the menu:

🌭 Clean up food and drink spills as soon as possible.

🗑️ Keep all bins closed, clean and tidy.

🍰 Store sweet foods and leftovers in sealed containers.

🌿 Keep an eye out for ant trails around patios, paving and doorways.

If ants have already made themselves at home, don't worry, we offer a range of professional treatment options tailored to your individual situation.

Every infestation is different, so we'll always recommend the most effective solution for your home or business.

The buzzing isn't over… it's just changed! 🐝

Over the past few weeks, we've seen plenty of bee swarms, but as summer settles in, we're now starting to receive bookings for wasp nest treatments.

Bee swarms are usually temporary, relatively calm, and are often collected by local beekeepers. Wasps on the other hand, build nests that continue to grow throughout the summer. The earlier a nest is dealt with, the easier it is to manage before the colony reaches its peak ‼️

This wasp nest was hidden away in a loft space, one of the most common places we find them.

If you're noticing a steady stream of wasps flying to and from the same spot around your home or business, there's a good chance there's a nest nearby! 🔭

Not sure whether you're looking at bees or wasps? We're always happy to identify what you're dealing with and advise on the safest and most appropriate solution.
