Rat in Roof Space

Rat in Extension Roof

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.

Squirrels Liverpool

Squirrels Liverpool

Squirrels can be one of the worst pests inside a house. They are large and noisy, with extremely sharp teeth that they chew on joists and pipes in the roof. They are extremely clever and if in a roof already they will already have a food source, so don’t except poisons well. Spring traps are the most effective way of getting rid of them.

This particular squirrel was caught on one of my favourite types that give an incredibly quick and clean kill.

A 2 visit treatment with this type of trap costs £85. It is incredibly effective getting rid of this hardy pest.

Ants in Cavity Liverpool

Ants in Cavity

Ants in Cavity

Most ants nests start outside but the nest can expand under a wall of a house. Sometimes it can go unnoticed as the ants forage for food outside. The problems start when the nest starts to produce flying ants. The flying ants have one objective and that’s to fly in to the air to breed. The structure of a house provides a way the ants can try to get to as elevated position as possible. Often they erupt inside causing a huge issue for the homeowner.

We can easy treat such nests by treating in the cavity the ants are using by the use of either liquid insecticides or dust insecticides if there’s risk of electrics or damaging furnishings.

Sometimes the wall will need to be drilled to get the insecticide in to the nest.

Mice in Liverpool are found in all areas and all sizes of properties. They are a consistent problem throughout the year. The house mouse is not particularly well suited to life outside in our country and much prefers the warmth of our homes. It originated in warmer parts of the world and spread with trade.

Once mice are in a property they spread rapidly with incredibly quick gestation times and becoming sexually mature within 5 weeks of birth.

If you have mice in your house it is important to act fast to prevent them spreading like wildfire.

We offer a 2 visit program to remove mice from a property. A full house inspection is carried out including the roof, under floors etc. Baits are put throughout the property to control the rodents and a follow up is carried out after 2 weeks to remove the dead animals and clean away the bait.

All this costs just £85. Phone to book today.

Dead Mouse Smell

Dead Mouse Smell

Dead Mouse Smell

A business in town phoned to ask if we could identify where a dead mouse was in their premises. They have had a fairly recent infestation which they had dealt with using baits and sticky boards.

On inspection we discovered that they had forgot to remove one of the sticky boards and the mouse was in an advanced stage of decomposition.

Removing the sticky board instantly removed the smell and the staff could get back to business as normal.

Pigeon Proofing

Pigeon Proofing

Pigeon Proofing

Contractors have been working painting the side of a group of shops and businesses and found 3 or 4 well established pigeon nests. Each of the nests had pigeon chicks in various stages of development.

The project manager asked us to remove the birds and nests and clean the area.

We also added temporary netting to prevent the birds getting back before the work was finished. More permanent netting will be put up to prevent the birds getting re-established.

Phone us for quotes on pest control solutions.

Woodlice Liverpool

Woodlice Liverpool

Woodlice Liverpool

Woodlice can become a problem in houses with either damp or lots of decaying foliage around.

This house had both. Lots of leaf litter around the house provides lots of food and shelter for woodlice.

The woodlice are in such numbers that a fair amount are getting trapped in the cellar from walking down an old coal shoot.

Woodlice Liverpool

Once trapped in the cellar they dry out and die but cause concern for the customer.

The cellar was sprayed with a residual insecticide and advice on how to proof the coal shoot door was given.

To reduce the threat more the leaf litter and bushes can be cleared from around the house removing the food and harbourage of the woodlouse.

Fleas Liverpool

Fleas Liverpool

Fleas Liverpool

We charge possibly the lowest rate for fleas in Liverpool and split our treatments in to 2 separate visits rather than paying for both visits as a course of treatments.

£50 for the first visit (3 bed house or smaller) and £40 for the second if required. Normally it’s about 1 in 8 houses that need treating again, and that is normally due to the customer cleaning away the insecticide. On the rare occasion a house will need a second spray just to the shear quantity of fleas.

The picture above was taken today after a girl moved in to a new house where the previous owner had cats. Her poor dad went in to prepare the house for us before treatment. It is likely this house will need a second treatment due to infestation size.

Ants in Cavity Wall – Liverpool Pest Control

June 20, 2017 by MERSEYPEST 209 Comments

Ants can be a huge problem over the summer months. One of the worst types of infestation is when they infest a cavity wall. This customer had ants in the cavity wall which had been there for a few years.

The solution for this is to drill the wall and apply the insecticide directly to the ants nest in the wall.
