These are one of the most obvious signs that a property has bedbugs. They are spots of blood that are excreted by the adult bug as it reaches its harbourage after a blood feed. If you look closely you can see the cast shells of adult insects in the gap between the bed base and the slats.
Once you have identified bedbugs in your property it is advisable to get it professionally treated as self treatments can spread the problem.
This year has been one of our busiest flea seasons. Everyday we are receiving multiple calls for flea infestations.
If your getting bitten and suspect you may have fleas there is a simple way to monitor your own house.
Get a bowl and fill it with water. Add a couple of drops of washing up liquid. The washing up liquid breaks the surface film of the water.
Now a small heat source needs to be placed in or above the water. A tealight candle works well placed in the middle of the bowl. An alternative is an angle poise lamp positioned to shine on the water.
The heat source will attract fleas over in search of a meal. They will jump in the water and drown.
This method will not remove an entire population from a property but will diagnose the cause of any bites.
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!

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.
