Prices Pest Control

Here’s a list of the widespread household pests and garden pests to look out for:

Rodents
Rats and mice need to gnaw to keep their teeth filed down regularly. The gnawing causes damage to electric cables, furniture and fittings. The rodents can even start a fire by ruining cables and wires. There are also health risks carried by rodents. For example, brown rats carry 13 different kinds of parasites and illnesses including salmonella.

Bedbugs
As bedbugs are small and flat like a piece of paper, they fit inside any crevice or crack, and this makes bed bugs extremely hard to eliminate. Bed bugs mostly feed on blood.

Wasp, bees and hornets
These flying insects are difficult to identify, so you need to hire a pest control expert, as there are strict guidelines you have to follow when dealing with bees, which are essential for pollination. Wasps and hornets, however, are more aggressive and you may need to have a professional pest controller to remove them.

Cockroaches
These bugs are widespread, especially in crowded housing environments. They can carry diseases and like to hide in wall and ceiling voids, rubbish and furniture. It’s crucial to keep a tidy home and garden to prevent any cockroach infestation.

Ants
Ants are a natural garden pest and may also invade your home. However, ants are comparatively easier to remove using a pest industry powder.

Moles
Moles can severely damage your garden as they tend to create a network of tunnels and prefer to eat mainly insects instead of plants. A professional ole catcher will use traps to get moles, as many poisons are now prohibited.

Squirrels
Squirrels will cause a great deal of damage, chewing through insulation, woodwork, wiring and pipes. They may be aggressive when challenged and also carry diseases – you’ll need to hire a squirrel control professional to cope with squirrels.
