Rat in Roof Space

June 26, 2017 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

Rat in Extension Roof

A rat has been heard in an extension roof space as a customer was working at his computer. It could be heard scrabbling up the internal Cavity of the wall and in to the roof. Once in the roof it could be heard hopping over the joists as it looked around.

On the initial inspection droppings and a hole leading in to the cavity were found. Bags of rodenticide were left. On the second visit the bait had been partly consumed and the bag pulled in to the insulation of the cavity. Smear marks of the red bait can be seen over the joists as the rat has tried to take as much bait as possible.

The outside of the property was carefully checked and no holes were found. Where there is no holes and rats are in the extension it often points to a problem in the drains letting the rats in.

A drain inspection is recommended to fix any flaws in the drain.

Rat Wirral

February 20, 2017 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

Rat Wirral

Rats are always near by and will use any opportunity to exploit our houses. In this particular case on the Wirral rats have been in the drain and have dug a hole underneath the drain cover and under the flags.

The lower side of the drain cover and hole can be seen on the first photo. The second photo shows how the rats have dug under the flags and over to the edge of the house. Once against the house the rats had dug under an old door lintel and in to the house.

The customer had rats in her cavity walls on a few occasions until she called us to find and remove the problem.

The treatment process is relatively simple now the breach has been found. The flag was raised on house bricks (as seen on the second photo) to provide a baiting point for the rats. After 2 weeks a follow will be carried out. The bait will be eaten and the rats killed.

This is when we will dig along the wall to find the hole the rats are tunnelling too. The hole will be permanently blocked and the problem will be fixed for good.

If you have a problem with rats in Wirral, Liverpool or Warrington please phone us to to help you. We take pride in our work and want to help you solve your problems permanently.

A 2 visit rat treatment costs £85.

Bees Liverpool

May 19, 2016 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

Bees Liverpool.

Bumble bees in the last few years have become much more of a common problem for homeowners. They used to be a fairly uncommon call out. A nest under the shed or in an old rodent hole in the bottom of the garden.

Since the repopulation of the tree bee they are now an extremely common concern for owners. The tree bee nests in trees, bird boxes and roof spaces. The latter being the problem. Whilst the nests don’t cause to much of a problem in the house, the threat of stinging insects is always an issue to some folk. Removal and rehoming can be done in some circumstances whilst other times they have to be treated to solve the problem.

bees liverpool

At MerseyPest we guarantee we will solve your problem. A bee treatment costs £40. Rehoming is more complex and is priced per job (if even possible). A treatment is carried out using either an extending lance or by ladders and directly applying insecticide to the nest. The insecticide is blown in using a high pressure duster. The dust does not cause any problem to the building.

Honey Bee’s Liverpool

May 18, 2016 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

Liverpool Bees.

Now is the time of massively increased bee activity across the country. Bumble bees are nesting under sheds, tree bees are finding nooks in trees and roofs, and honey bees hives are growing and splitting.

Most of the trees, shrubs, flowers and crops have been pollinated by bees. They are the most important insect when it comes to global pollination by far. They should be protected where possible.

In domestic and commercial properties they can still be a threat to the people who live or work there. They tend to be fairly harmless unless provoked but those with small children or/and animals would rather them be removed.

The picture above shows a honey bee hive in a pub. The upstairs rooms of the pub are also filling with bees regularly.

When bee’s become a nuisance to the property owner we can provide solutions to have them removed.

Phone MERSEYPEST pest control Liverpool to find a solution for your honey bee problem.

Rats Pest Control Liverpool

May 13, 2016 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

In Liverpool rats are one of the most common pests that we are plagued with. There frequency shows how high the population numbers are and how close they are to us at most times. Particularly in Liverpool city centre and in some of the higher population areas.

Any food source left outside can be quickly found by rats. In some areas birds can be fed outside for years without a problem. In others throwing bread out could be the start of an infestation in days.

An obvious way to avoid this kind of infestation is to not feed the birds, don’t keep livestock animals outside and keep all waste well sealed in wheelie bins.

But what if you get them anyway???

Another common place for rats to come from is from the drains. There is plenty of food down the drains which is washed off our plates and in to the drain systems. Rats are quite happy eating this in the sewers.

They are happy at least until its time to breed. When they want to raise a family these drain rats will approach the surface as drier, warmer places can be found. All it takes is an uncapped drain or redundant connection and they can be in to a buildings foundations.

The place we deal with them most is in extensions. A drain will be moved for the new building and the old drain capped with sandbags. This leaves an incredibly easy way in for rats. A few chews on a sandbag at the bottom and it will empty the sand. Then the rat is up the cavity or ducting and in to the extension roof space.

This picture shows the inside of an extension roof space. Rats are coming through an uncapped drain, climbing the ducting and living in the roof. This is the 3rd time its happened in this particular case. The drain needs fixing to shut the door to the rats.

We can fix these problems for you. We can kill the rats and solve your drain issues. Phone us for our permanent solutions on rat control in Liverpool.

Noises from the Roof

November 9, 2015 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

pest control liverpool roof

A customer had heard noises from her roof in the night. In the morning she went in to the roof space to investigate herself.

There was nothing obvious but she was concerned about a vent outlet going through the tiles, so she phoned pest control to get an inspection.

When we got there we pulled back all the insulation and found mouse droppings underneath. We baited around the areas that there was mouse activity.

As the customer was concerned about the vent we went on the roof to check to see if there was a possible ingress point through this vent (squirrels are a big problem in her area). We checked the full roof and found no tiles to be loose and no gaps that squirrels could get through.

A follow will be carried out in 2 weeks to see what takes we get from the mice.
