A Scary Find in the Shed
A customer was luckily alerted to a stream of wasps going in and out of their shed. They called us to deal with it once they had peered through the shed window to see the wasps going in to a set of draws in the shed.
It could of been a very nasty surprise if the shed or draws were opened and the home owner wasn’t aware of the wasp nest hidden in the draws.
The worst case of a hidden nest by one of our customers was tucked in a folded sun lounger. She was badly stung multiple times around the face and neck.
An ex colleague once was caught out treating squirrels in a roof space. Pulling up insulation looking for the squirrels dray (nest) he unfortunately tore a nest apart. He was stung 27 times around the face. His daughter didn’t even recognise him in the hospital.
Wasps are certainly an animal not to be messed with!

Live Catch Squirrels
Squirrels are a nuisance animals in both gardens and in properties themselves. In a garden they pull up bulbs and plants and dig up lawns. In roof spaces they build nests out of the insulation, chew up the wires and make a huge amount of noise in the night time.
They can be removed from internal areas using either bait or live catch cages. In external areas they are best removed using traps as it removes the risks of putting poisons in the garden.

Setting Cockroach Baits
Cockroaches are a fairly uncommon pest nowadays but when they do get established in a property they can be tricky to treat for.
We treat for them using two methods. The first is by using contact sprays which kill the insects on first contact and then remain residually effective for up to 6 weeks. This method is great for preventing them going in to areas where they could be seen by customers.
The second method is by using poisonous baits. The cockroaches eat the baits and return to where they group together then die. Shown above is the bait points for cockroach baits. In the syringe is the poison.
The cockroaches will eat their dead and poisoned comrade. This kills them and starts a snowball effect killing the population where they hide.
