Could bed bugs be hiding in your home?

Bed bugs are small insects that often hide in mattress seams, bed frames and nearby furniture. They’re most active at night, so many people don’t realise they have a problem until they start noticing itchy bites or small marks on their bedding.

Common signs include:

• Itchy bites that appear overnight.
• Small blood spots on sheets.
• Dark marks around mattress seams.
• Tiny shed skins or live bed bugs.

Bed bugs can spread between rooms and are difficult to eliminate without the right treatment, so it’s worth dealing with the problem as early as possible.

If you think you may have bed bugs, find out more about the signs to look for and the treatment options available on our website.

🐜 Seeing ants in your home?

A few ants in the kitchen or around skirting boards might not seem like much, but regular activity often means there’s a colony nearby.

Common signs include:

• Lines of ants following the same route each day
• Ants gathering around food or pet bowls
• Ants repeatedly appearing from the same crack or gap
• Small piles of soil or debris near doorways or paving

Treating the ants you can see doesn’t always solve the problem if the colony remains hidden.

If you’re dealing with an ant infestation in York or the surrounding area, we’ve updated our guide with advice on what to look for and how professional treatment works.

Have you noticed wasps flying back to exactly the same place on your house, shed or garage?

It’s rarely a coincidence.

Repeated wasp activity usually means there’s an active nest nearby, even if you can’t see it. Knowing what to look for can help you avoid disturbing the nest and decide when it’s time to arrange professional treatment.

How long does a wasp nest stay active?

If you’ve noticed wasps flying to and from the same spot around your home, you might be wondering whether the nest will eventually disappear on its own.

The answer depends on the time of year. Wasp nests only last for one season, but during July and August they can contain thousands of wasps and become much more active.

In our latest article, we explain:

✔ When a wasp nest reaches its busiest point
✔ What happens to the colony in autumn
✔ Whether wasps ever reuse an old nest
✔ When it’s best to seek professional treatment

What happens after a wasp nest has been treated?

It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often.

Many people expect all wasp activity to stop immediately, but that’s not always the case. You may still see a few wasps returning to the nest for a short time, and it’s important not to block the entrance too soon.

In our latest article, we explain:

✔ How long wasps usually remain active after treatment
✔ Whether the nest needs to be removed
✔ When it’s safe to repair entry points
✔ Signs that may mean the nest needs checking again

🐝 Have you noticed wasps flying to the same spot on your house?

It could be a sign that they’ve already built a nest.

Wasps often choose hidden locations such as roof spaces, wall cavities, soffits, sheds and garages, making nests difficult to spot until activity increases. Knowing where they like to nest can help you identify a problem before it becomes a bigger issue.

Our latest blog explains the most common places wasps build nests around homes, the warning signs to look out for and why it’s important not to block their entrance.

Do wasps become more aggressive before rain?

If you’ve ever noticed more wasps around your garden just before a summer shower, you’re not alone.

Warm, humid weather and growing colonies during July can make wasps much more noticeable around food, drinks and outdoor seating. While rain itself doesn’t make them aggressive, changing weather can affect their behaviour.

Our latest article explains why this happens, what to look out for and when increased wasp activity could mean there’s a nest nearby.
