Average Size Nest for this time of Year

September 3, 2015 by MERSEYPEST 18 Comments

pest control liverpool

People often ask if their wasp nest is large compared to others. There are many things that affect nest size.

The most important thing is food availability. With low numbers of prey animals in an area wasps will not do as well as another nest that has an abundance of insect prey.

The nests location also affects how well the wasps will do. A nest in a tree or conifer often will not be as big as a nest in a roof space. The nest in the roof has the advantage of warmth from the house and its insulation.

The nest shown above was a nest that was treated in Northwich yesterday. It is a fairly average nest that would be found in a roof space at this time of year. Some can however be much bigger or much smaller.

A Monitor Pad Catches its Prey…

September 2, 2015 by MERSEYPEST 52 Comments

pest control liverpool

A sticky monitor pad left in a shop has caught a wandering insect. In this case a german cockroach.

Cockroaches can spread extremely rapidly. Catching one insect means the premise requires immediate action.

A control treatment will be planned and carried out. At MerseyPest – Pest Control Liverpool we have a 2 stage attack using both contact residual insecticides and insecticidal baits to remove these pests.

Read more information on cockroaches here.

Rat Droppings?

November 10, 2014 by MERSEYPEST 34 Comments

A family went on holiday to return to these scattered over the floor. They called us suspecting a rat infestation. The small brown objects are in fact fly pupae. They had forgot to empty the kitchen bin and house fly had bred in the decomposing waste. When the maggots had finished feeding they leave the organic waste in the bin to pupate where it is dry. All that was required on this call was sweeping them outside for the birds.

Flying Ants

Pest Control Liverpool, Wirral, Warrington and Chester.

pest control liverpool

Flying ants emerging to breed. On certain days ant colonies erupt with flying ants. The ants fly up in to the sky to find other flying ants from other nests to breed with. This is a way of ensuring the best possible mix of genes. The ants breed in the air. Shortly after the male dies and the female snips her own wings off and digs in to the ground. A new nest will soon blossom and has the capability of lasting 10 years.

German cockroaches from a house in Dingle. They were living in the fridge motor, heating ducting and the boiler. They love warm places and thrive if untreated. This house had hundreds of them. Using a residual contact insecticide we soon got on top of the problem.

Fascia Strips Let Wasps In

A badly fitted bit of fascia stripping has let wasps in. The lower strip breather gaps are to small for a queen wasp to pass through and make a nest. However when it isn’t pushed in properly they can get in. You can see the wasps by the very end gap on the corner (quite hard to make out in the photo). The customer in this instance had blocked the hole with a piece of wood with tacks, gaffered to a 4 metre pole. This didn’t have the desired effect and only made them angry!!

Wasp Season Begins

Wasp season is very much on the way. I’ve treated lots of little nests in garages or sheds but this nest from yesterday had hundreds of active wasps. The wasps are still small (almost half the end season size) but extremely active. This nest was out in Cheshire in Barrow.

A call out yesterday for hundreds of these tiny wasps in Blacon. A young couple have a front garden which is graveled with a few shrubs in it but yesterday it was different. It had hundreds of these small wasps. It is likely they are a type of digging solitary wasp that had found preference with the graveled garden. Both of the customers had been stung by them. A quick spray with insecticide and they were sorted.
