    There are fixed prices for certain treatments such as wasps and fleas, otherwise our operatives will need to visit your premises to carry out a survey and give you a free quotation. Talk to us now for free and professional advice.

  2. Can I treat my problem myself?

    Yes you can, but remember treating with poison may not solve your problem. There may be other issues, which may need resolving. These can only be identified by expert advice from our operatives. Contact us now.

  3. I have found a bee’s nest in my compost heap. Should I be concerned?

    If they are large furry insects then it is likely they are Bumble Bees. They are a very docile creature and will not go out of their way to attack you. They are also protected by law and should not be disturbed; they very rarely sting unless they are provoked. You may have course have a wasp’s nest. If you see a steady stream of insects much smaller than a bee entering the nest then do not disturb as they may attack you. Contact us if this is the case and we will be more than willing to visit and destroy the nest.

  4. I have seen a rat coming out from the manhole cover in my garden. They now appear to be nesting under my shed and visiting the bird table for food. I am terrified to go out into the garden in case they attack me. Please advise.

    Your first priority is to repair the manhole. Rats live in the sewers but are more than happy to live on the surface if there is a comfortable place to live and a good source of food. Call us now and we will visit to eradicate the rats under your shed, but in the meantime stop feeding the birds as this will continue to provide the rats with an excellent source of food.

  5. I noticed the pack of cereal had been chewed through this morning and there was evidence of mouse droppings on the worktop. What should I do?

    You should contact us immediately. Mice have a very nasty habit of urinating wherever they go, they have very loose bladders. You and your family could quite easily suffer from the consequences of their visit. The diseases they carry could result in a very severe upset stomach. Throw the carton of cereal in the dustbin and thoroughly clean the worktop with bleach to remove any trace of urine. Put all cereal products in sealed containers.

  6. I have recently returned from a foreign holiday. When I get up in the morning there are bite marks on my body.

    It is quite possible you have returned from your holiday with some uninvited guests, probably bed bugs. You may find some blood spots on your sheets or evidence of dirt around your mattress and headboard. These are bed bug faeces, sure evidence of an infestation. This is something you cannot deal with yourself. Contact us now for an appointment to visit and treat your infestation.
