Ants
We can provide treatments for ants in your house or a barrier spray around the outside of your property. Please note that we do not spray gardens and we cannot deal with Pharaoh ants (these are 1.5-2mm long and yellow-brown, occasionally with a brown abdomen).

Bed bugs
Adult bed bugs are oval and flattened like a small brownish-red disc, measuring 4-6mm in length. Their shed skins are lighter brown and look like flaky exoskeletons. They usually thrive during the warmer months of the year and in extreme cold will reduce their activity. However, in warm houses they can live all year round.
Treatment involves the application of a residual insecticide, either as a liquid spray or powder. The insecticide is applied to all floor surfaces.

Booklice
Booklice are 1-4mm long with soft bodies and are cream to greyish or light brown. They live on fungi that grow on the surface of materials such as books, woodwork, paper, plaster and leather.
Spray treatment is available to deal with infestations.

Carpet beetles
Carpet beetles vary in colour from brown to black mottle with yellow or white scales on their backs. They thrive in places where they are not disturbed, such as under carpets, around skirting boards and in wardrobes.
Treatment involves your property being sprayed or dusted with a broad-spectrum residual insecticide.

Cockroaches
Cockroaches are 10-23mm long and have antennae and wings. They live in conditions that can found in most houses and commercial premises. Cockroaches are particularly common in tower blocks as their design means they can easily move around.
Spray treatment and gel baits are used to get rid of cockroaches.

Fleas
Adult fleas are about 2mm long and dark in colour. Flea eggs are usually brought into the home by cats and dogs and hatch into larvae that then pupate. If conditions are right, they will hatch into adults – this takes about two weeks in mild weather.
Treatment involves your property being sprayed or dusted with a broad-spectrum residual insecticide.

Flies
Houseflies and blue bottles (or blow flies) are the two main types of fly that cause problems to householders. Housefly eggs can hatch into maggots within eight hours to three days. Bluebottle eggs take 18-48 hours.
Treatment consists of a 24-hour knock down spray, with a residual insecticide if there are maggots.

Larder beetles
Adult larder beetles are 7-9mm long, oval-shaped and have a distinct pale band with three black spots across the back. They feed on food scraps and are often found in larders, attics or under-floor spaces where they may be feeding on dead rodents or birds.
Spray treatment is available where infestations are extensive.

Mice
Mice often build nests inside houses, in places such as roof spaces, under floors, in wall cavities and wherever there is access to a good source of food, especially during the winter. Mice can squeeze through cracks as small as 5mm but mouseholes are normally 20-30mm in diameter.
Treatment involves laying poison baits which will be monitored approximately every seven days.

Moths
We have the ability to provide an effective treatment of some moths and caterpillars. Prior to treatment, a survey will be carried out to identify the species and therefore whether we are able to treat it, the extent of the infestation and the required actions. A quote for the necessary works will then be issued and once agreed and payment is taken, the treatment can take place.
Please contact us to arrange a survey and treatment.
Rats
Rats will live anywhere that provides food, water and shelter. In homes, they may live in roof spaces, wall cavities or under floorboards. In gardens, they will burrow into grassy banks or under sheds. They are often found living in sewer systems.
Treatment involves laying poison baits which will be monitored approximately every seven days.

Wasps
It is very difficult to prevent wasps from starting a nest in your house as they can gain access through very small gaps. You can help prevent attracting wasps in the summer by keeping fruit, sweet foods and drinks in the fridge or sealed containers. Wasps do not return to a nest once it has been abandoned in the autumn/winter but may build a new nest in the same area the next year.
Spray treatment is available.
