I believe this picture although very graphic needs to be shown to highlight the disgusting, vile atrocities that the misuse of these items cause. Let me make it clear the use of glue boards is now banned in the UK for all but professionals who need a special license and have to follow very strict procedures. Basically as you can see the boards are covered in a sticky glue and when a mouse runs over it they stick to the board where they are humanely despatched....however in this case a "professional" had thrown these boards under a floor, walked away and never returned leaving the mice to struggle and die and slow painful death, not only mice though, looking closely at the carcasses you will see that one's got a longer pointed nose, this is a Shrew and not something that should be killed in anyway. This really goes to show the importance of choosing a reputable pest controller by checking their reviews and even asking them a few questions about the methods they'd deploy. Im certainly always happy to discuss my methods with anyone.

I often get asked why wasps seem to do better in certain areas than others. All living creatures do better where conditions suit them best and the main thing they need is a readily available food source. If youve ever parked your car or seen one parked under large mature trees through the summer you will have noticed a sticky substance on the car, often turning to a sooty like mould. This substance is known as "honeydew", a lovely name for something that is essentially green fly 💩. Greenflies feed on the sap of plants which is sugar rich therefore it follows that honeydew is also sugar rich, this provides a highly nutritious diet for Wasps, Ants and Bees...so in areas with a lot of mature trees wasps always do very well

The size of holes adult rats can get through often surprises people when I show them. One of today's jobs was a prime example. Rats were entering through this small hole, climbing up the wall cavity and emerging in the loft where theyd damaged fishing tackle, cabling and a couple of wooden roof joists. The hole was sealed and internal control/monitoring measures deployed.

Its always interesting when im dealing with cockroaches to return for the first follow up visit to see just how many are on the monitors/traps and how many dead ones are laying around after consuming the insecticide left for them. These pictures are from a one bedroom apartment!. The control program is now fully underway and before long the landlord will be able to rent the property out again.

The first notification that a recent customer of mine had that rodents were present was a odour from under the kitchen units and the dishwasher stopped working. Further thorough investigations revealed the entry point which was repaired and the explanation as to why the Dishwater wasnt working didnt take much finding, rats had been gnawing at the cable and had completely chewed through it. Rats will regularly chew at cables and pipework so if you experience any leaking pipes or electrical failures its a good idea to check for rodent activity and call a professional immediately.

Another one of many wasp nests weve treated recently. This one was slightly different though and because of their nesting habit this particular species is the gardeners worst nightmare !. These were Median wasps and have the habit of building their nests under the eves of property or in hedges, often they're discovered with hedge cutters...which as you can imagine they take exception to!!. Median wasps are slightly bigger than European and German wasps ( the two most common wasp species), one of the easiest ways to identify them is they have more black than yellow on them. What they share in common with other wasp species is that they all chew a thin layer of wood of fences, sheds etc to build their nests with. The small scratches you often see on fences pictured below is a sure sign theres a nest nearby

The wasp nests are currently rapidly growing in size with this warm weather we're experiencing. This one was just above the client's bay window of their bedroom and they could be heard through the ceiling of the bedroom. I treated this quickly and professionally much to the clients delight. If you see wasps flying in and out of any small gaps on your property please dont hesitate to call me asap.

The warm weather certainly brings the biting insects out to play!. One of the most troublesome is the mosquito. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in water and quite often its the smallest bodies of water they use, dumped used tyres, water butts, slightly blocked guttering etc can all be havens for their eggs and larvae. The eggs look like small greyish black rafts and the larvae a long slim almost worm shaped body that can often be seen hanging just under the waters surface. If you see anything like this or indeed youre getting bitten when sitting outside please dont hesitate to contact me.
