Wasp Control
Wasps tend to turn up during the late summer and early autumn months. They can cause a problem due to the way they can get so close to us and often target our food and drink, particularly if it is sugary. 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 garages. Call us
Ants
Many people have had difficulties with ant infestations in the UK. Ants often invade homes and kitchens in search of food and can be very problematic to get rid of without outside assistance.
Mice and rats
Mice and rats can cause difficulties 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 homes but they can also present a risk to human health.
Flies
Flies can be very problematic, especially during the warmer times of the year. Good examples of flies that often create problems in UK homes include house flies, cluster flies and house flies. Some flies can spread diseases as well as being an annoyance.
Moths
Moths can cause substantial damage to stored food, textiles and garments. You may be particularly eager to get over a problem with moths if you have precious textiles or well-stocked cupboards.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches may not be as usual as some of the other pests on this list, but they can carry diseases and be very difficult to remove from properties without external support.
Bedbugs
Bedbugs can create difficulties in both residential and commercial environments like hotels and resorts. They are tiny insects which feed on the blood of humans and can create scratchy red welts all over the body. Female bedbugs can lay 500 eggs in their lives.
