Wasp Control
Wasps tend to show 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 issues with ant invasions in the UK. Ants often invade homes and kitchens in search of food and can be very difficult to get rid of without outside support.
Mice and rats
Mice and rats can create 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 homes but they can also pose a risk to human health.
Flies
Flies can be very serious, especially during the hotter times of the year. Examples of flies that often cause issues in UK homes include house flies, cluster flies and house flies. Some flies can spread illness as well as being a nuisance.
Moths
Moths can create extensive damage to stored food, textiles and clothes. You may be especially eager to overcome a difficulty with moths if you have valuable textiles or well-stocked cupboards.
Cockroaches
Roaches may not be as prevalent as some of the other pests on this checklist, but they can carry diseases and be very difficult to get rid of from properties without outside assistance.
Bedbugs
Bedbugs can create problems in both domestic and commercial environments like hotels. They are small insects which feed on the blood of humans and can cause itchy red welts all over the body. Female bedbugs can lay 500 egg cells in their lifetimes.
