Wasp control
Wasps tend to turn up during the late summer and early autumn months. They can cause a nuisance 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 garage areas. Call us
Ants
Many people have had problems 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 cause difficulties all through 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 buildings but they can also pose a threat to human health.
Flies
Flies can be very serious, particularly during the warmer times of the year. Examples of flies that often create difficulties in UK homes include House flies, cluster flies and house flies. Some flies can spread illness as well as being an aggravation.
Moths
Moths can create substantial damage to stored food, fabrics and clothes. You may be especially eager to get over a problem 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 tough to eliminate from buildings without external support.
Bedbugs
Bedbugs can cause problems in both domestic and industrial environments like hotels and resorts. They are very small insects which feed on the blood of individuals and can create scratchy red welts all over the body. Female bedbugs can lay five hundred eggs in their lifespans.
