At MerseyPest we provide commercial agreements for shops and restaurants.
In the agreements we carry out regular visits to monitor for pests. Different monitor points are used to check for different species of pests.
In the picture a large external box is shown that is used to monitor for rats. It is normally placed in yard areas. In this case it is getting placed internally in a store area that is poorly proofed and has holes that could let rats in. The customer is in the process of getting the holes fixed now they have been alerted to the problem.
The tray of small triangular blue baits is a tray used for internal tamper resistant boxes used for mice. These will be placed around the shop to ensure no part of the site is missed.
If you own a shop in Liverpool or surrounding areas and wish to have a commercial agreement set in place please phone to get a quote.

A Common Problem in Liverpool and Wirral
Pigeons Liverpool and Wirral
A very common problem in both Liverpool and Wirral is the feral pigeon. On streets close to community hubs and shops pigeons will find roosting and nesting sites.
This picture shows Mike fixing metal proofing spikes to the top of a bay window. The gap between the window and the lower edge of the eave provides a perfect place for pigeons to nest.
They nest in areas such as this as it provides safety and security and is away from the worst of the weather. Before they became a pest species in towns and cities they would roost on cliff faces. Sites like these are the perfect substitute.
We can provide low cost proofing solutions to any building. Phone us for details and a quote.
Noises from the 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.
Fruit Fly Clouds in the Pub
A pub in Liverpool called us out to deal with clouds of fruit flies. As with most fly species the success of a treatment depends on eliminating the breeding site of the fly.
In this case the fruit fly are enjoying the build up of drips that are rolling down the beer lines and forming sticky pools in and around the lines. The staff of the pub clean it often but can’t quite get in to all the areas.
We can easily get in with the steam cleaner to blast the gunk out. It is entirely spick and span when we’ve finished. We then treat it with insecticide just for good measure.
A final part of the treatment is to use a fumigant to knock down all the adult flies that are infesting the pub.
If you need your pub/business/house treating for flies phone us for details.

Pigeon Poop
Now I know most people think that pest control is a job full of glamour so to dispel that myth I’ll show you one of the yucky (but still not the yuckiest) jobs….
This customer has pigeons nesting on his roof. They have created a huge amount of waste that is squirted on to the roofs below. Using a steam cleaner and a bit of elbow grease they are scrubbed clean.
If you want us to carry out any cleaning, proofing or any other pest control treatments for you please phone us to get the best value treatments.
