Wasp Control
Wasps tend to show up during the late summer and early autumn months. They can create a problem due to the way they can get so close to us and often target our food and drink, especially if it is sweet. 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 drive ways. 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 difficult to get rid of without outside help.
Mice and rats
Mice and rats can cause issues 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 properties but they can also present a danger to human health.
Flies
Flies can be very challenging, especially during the warmer months. Examples of flies that often cause 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 clothing. You may be especially eager to get over a difficulty with moths if you have precious textiles or well-stocked cupboards.
Cockroaches
Roaches may not be as common as some of the other pests on this checklist, but they can carry diseases and be very tough to get rid of from buildings without outside support.
Bedbugs
Bedbugs can create difficulties in both residential and commercial settings like hotels. They are diminutive insects which feed on the blood of people and can create itchy red welts all over the body. Female bedbugs can lay 500 eggs in their lifetimes.
