Smoke Bomb

May 8, 2019 by MERSEYPEST 1,331 Comments

A customer today had issues with booklice. She’s recently moved in to a city centre apartment. All her possessions have been left in storage for 3 months. So it is possible the booklice have been in the storage unit and made their way in to the boxes. It is also possible they were in the apartment already especially if left empty for a long time.

Treatment is fairly simple a spray residual insecticide is applied to surfaces like the window sills, units etc. Then a smoke bomb is set off to knock down all the insects in the room. Smoke detectors have to be covered to prevent them setting the buildings fire alarms off. The building manager was also informed incase they went off even when covered. See a video of the smoke bomb below.

Pest Control Dogs

May 6, 2019 by MERSEYPEST 1,519 Comments

Using working terriers in domestic properties can quickly solve problems. Mice often will feed in the kitchen and then make their nests under the upstairs floorboards. They find their way up there through the gaps that wiring and piping go through inside the walls.

Once up there it is safe away from family and pets, and is kept warm and dry. They often will nest under the bathroom floor as it’s sometimes above the kitchen. Often they will be under the landing floor with the heat of the pipes.

Using the dogs upstairs nests can be quickly found.

Kitchen Cockroaches Liverpool

May 3, 2019 by MERSEYPEST 1,540 Comments

A call out yesterday for German cockroaches in Toxteth. They are not as common as they used to be as standards tend to be higher in shops. They are often brought home on the bottom of large bags of foods such as rice, flour and potatoes. They hide in the bottom of the folded flaps of large 20kg bags.

Once in a house they lay eggs rapidly and become a real pest. They cluster round sources of heat such as behind the fridge motor and the back of the boiler.

To kill them an insecticidal bait is used. The cockroaches eat the poison and it takes a few hours to kill them. They return to where all the other cockroaches aggregate and when they die they are eaten by the other cockroaches. This passes the poison to them and starts a cascade process where the poison is spread throughout the population. It is the most effective way of treating them.

A return visit must be made a few weeks later when the egg cases hatch. The process must be repeated to kill the young hatchlings.

Ants under Door Step

April 30, 2019 by MERSEYPEST 1,705 Comments

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 2,051 Comments

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 1,958 Comments

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 2,307 Comments

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 1,108 Comments

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 50 Comments

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 111 Comments

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.
