Cockroaches at Christmas

Posted by: Marie Wager

Cockroaches are a common problem at any time of the year and December is no exception, however for restaurants and stores cockroach infestations are a greater problem in December as this is socially one of the busiest months of the year. Cockroaches will hunt for shelter where there is warmth and will usually be found in kitchens behind cookers, fridges and any other appliance, these insects carry a number of diseases and can easily contaminate foods if the area is left unclean. Cockroaches can easily be easily eradicated with the correct procedures in time for the festive period.

Rats and Mice increase

Posted by: Marie Wager

The main topic over the last few months has been the dramatic increase in Bed Bugs found within London homes, however pest problems within London have made a dramatic turn and the new problem plaguing home and shop owners are Rats and Mice.

Rats and Mice have always been a problem within London however this problem is increasing in numbers and in this current period the increase is partly down to the changes in the temperature as these rodents are like any other pest and would like to concentrate on finding food and adequate shelter over the winter. There is also the ongoing problem, which is not only in London, of the fortnightly rubbish collections which are allowing foods to be sitting readily available within the streets and attracting these rodents.

If you do find that rats or mice are terrorising your home then please contact us to discuss an adequate treatment programme on 0800 0854460.

Bed Bug infestations continues in and around London

Posted by: Marie Wager

PEST PROBLEMS UPDATE FOR SEPTEMBER 2011

The large percentage of call outs across London again this month are due to the rising problem with Bed Bugs these nasty little creatures are easily spread and can be picked up from just about anywhere. Bed Bugs settle in your home especially your bed, however some sofas can also be affected, and once a few have settled they will then start to breed. These little critters can disturb your sleep as their only source of food is human blood therefore they will obviously wait until bed time and then have their feast which you may or may not notice happening.

Please see our Bed Bugs page for more information or call 0208 5282087.

Bedbugs Infesting London

Posted by: Marie Wager

A severe case of Bed Bugs found within a London home shows the damage that can be done. Our skilled Bed Bug exterminator eradicated this infestation with a two treatment insecticidal programme.

In this severe case bed bugs were easily seen on the bed, mattress and around the room, but in many instances bed bugs will hide away during the day to come out and feed at night.

 Clear identification of a Bed Bug  The first signs of a problem  

Black spotting on the mattress is a clear indication of bed bugs - first signs tend to be along the mattress seams.

 Severe damage to mattress  Bed Bugs spread easily along the corner of the mattress 

The spotting and damage can also be seen here on the wooden slats of the bed.

Spotting is also visible on the top and bottom of the skirting board near to the bed which is why it is so important to treat the whole room rather than just the bed.  Good access is essential here so that our pest control team can effectively spray all surrounding surfaces treating all the areas where bedbugs can hide.

Left untreated bed bugs can cause bad bites which can become inflamed and infected.  The blood spotting on the mattress shown below is a clear indication of this activity.
