Ants under Door Step

April 30, 2019 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

A call out for ants coming in to a customers kitchen. A search around the house revels a trail of ants leading back to under the front door step.

Ant nests are often on the sunniest side of the house as this helps them metabolise quicker.

A spray with Ficam W, a broad spectrum insecticide, kills the nest.

This photo shows the nest after treatment the ants are crawling away from the chemical.

Old Tech and New Tech

April 28, 2019 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

Using the camera to find mouse activity under floorboards is a great help but what helps more is using the dog to find areas of high mouse activity and then using the camera once a smaller area has been located.

The dog has a heightened sense of smell and being a terrier has many generations of vermin hunting in his history to focus his talents.

The dog will search the floor and indicate where the high activity areas are. It’s then that a floorboard can be lifted or in some cases drilled to get the camera in.

Bait can be left under the floor exactly where the mice are moving often resulting in a quicker treatment time.

Call us for mouse treatments.

Start of a Wasp Nest

April 27, 2019 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

Another tiny wasp nest found in a roof space. This time the queen can be seen leaving it and walking around the nest. Wasps are not normally noticed until later in the season when nests are much more developed with hundreds of workers in each nest. This season seems to be somewhat different as there have been many call outs just for the queens alone. It seems like its going to be an exceptionally busy season.

We charge £40 for wasp nests and guarantee the treatment. The treatment is either carried out from the outside using a long lance and spraying insecticidal dust in to the nest through the wasps entry point. Or can be sprayed from the inside using an aerosol insecticide.

Honey Bees Ellesmere Port

April 20, 2019 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

Honey bees in a chimney pot in Ellesmere Port. A beautiful and benificial insect.

This particular chimney pot provides a perfect place for the bees to create a hive. A new pot will be a good idea when the bees have been removed.

Removal can be sometimes tricky. Phone us to talk about the options.

Ants probably good for something…

April 19, 2019 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

Ants as horrible as they are in the home are actually very benificial insects in the garden. The British black garden ant is a scavenger insect in the garden. It clears up dead organic material and will also kill and eat pest insects that eat plants.

It’s unfortunate they have such a taste for sugar and find there way in to our homes. They are a fascinating social insect and live in colonies of many thousands. They are closely related to the bees and wasps which both also provide benificial garden services. One is a pollinator, the other a pest controller.

Ants under Decking Step

April 18, 2019 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

A call today in WA10. Ants making there way in to the customers conservatory.

Parts of the decking were removed to find the source of the problem. A few ants were found underneath the decking. Numbers increased towards the end of the decking. On lifting the flags which made the step of the decking the nest was found.

The video shows the ants rushing to take the eggs down in to deeper tunnels. They leave them close to the surface for them to develop quicker with the higher temperature under a sun warmed flag.

Problems with ants? Phone now for us to offer a solution.

Before and After Haircut for our working Dog

April 13, 2019 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

Summer is definitely on its way if our shaggy working dog is in for his summer cut. I prefer him shaggy but a cut will keep him cool out when he’s working.

He has an air conditioned cage in the back of the van where he is cool and safe with his sister.

This is the poor dog looking slightly pampered but happy bullying the pet rodents in the shop beneath the groomers. Be good to get him back in the woods and mucky again!!

The dog is useful in flushing rats out of sheds and burrows but also is great in houses.

In a house he is able to find out where nests and high activity points are. He will often find a nest under floorboards upstairs which without the dog you would have very slim chance of finding.

Mason Bees

April 12, 2019 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

A customer sent in a few photos of mason bees for advice.

They were going in the weep holes of his windows to nest. They are often found in some numbers but are solitary bees meaning they act individually and each female bee is fertile and produces its own egg and young.

They use small gaps in mortar and brickwork to lay eggs. They will lay one at the bottom and place a pile of pollen next to it for the grub to eat when it hatches. They then put a small clay cap and repeat the process. There can be 7 or 8 eggs arranged down one hole.

Mason Bee

As the bees are not protecting a queen they are non aggressive and can be carefully handled. They do have the ability to sting but the sting is very light and not especially painful.

Treatment for them is simple. Insecticide is put in to each hole the bees are going in.

The bees don’t cause any property damage so they can be left to complete their lifecycle. The adult bees are the only part which can be disconcerting for the homeowner and that part of the cycle is usually done within a few weeks.

Early Season News

April 4, 2019 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

The start of the season is definitely here. Early season insects have already been encountered. Lots of minor bees and the start of the bumblebees.

I’ve even had 2 calls for extremely early season wasps. The first was called in by a customer who stands at his back gate smoking and he could see the active queen coming and going from a hole in his roof. She will be feeding her first batch of young and increasing the nest size. A quick blast of dust removed it for the customer so it didn’t become a full sized nest.

Second was a customer who had an old nest in the roof space and didn’t want to remove it themself. After removing the old nest I had a quick look round and found a new nest with queen sitting next to it. It will have turned in to a large active next by the Summer. Good to get it done now.

The photo shows the small start of the season nest with a queen wasp sitting next to it.
