Read MoreAutumn is here!
After the tremendous heat and vast quantities of sunshine during the past summer, autumn has finally arrived with lower temperatures and rain. Now is the time to think about winter and even cooler temperatures and this is exactly what the majority of pests will be doing. Squirrels are already invading many properties to seek out dry, safe areas to escape cooler weather. Other rodents, including rats and mice have already invaded many areas and with previous conditions during the summer and large amounts of available food, numbers are at very high levels. This can only lead to more properties...
Read MoreMidsummer Madness!
We are now over half way through the summer and with record breaking temperatures and even flooding, the environment is certainly changing. Already this year we have seen vast numbers of flying ants on several occasions, with numbers so large that great swarms even appeared on weather radars giving the false impressions of rain clouds!

Nesting birds can also cause problems, not only with...

It is very important before commencing any...

Honey Bees always live in a colony with a queen bee in charge, in which, numbers could reach up to 20000 bees.

If left alone, they are normally harmless but can cause panic when they swarm in large numbers and will sting to protect the queen. Honey bees are valuable to the...
