Take the sting out of a wasp’s nest problem with expert help

The thought of having 10,000 wasps living on your doorstep is a terrifying prospect. But should wasps choose to make their nest on your property this is the reality some homeowners could face. shutterstock_364133954-300x200.jpg Wasps can make their nests in a number of areas around the home such as cavity walls, lofts, garden sheds and garages. Starting off small, the queen wasp will soon set to work stripping wood and repurposing it to enlarge her kingdom. These nests can grow to the size of a football – if not larger - accommodating thousands of wasps. Throughout the summer the number of wasps continues to grow as well as the nest, which is built up by worker wasps which take over from the queen while she concentrates on laying hundreds of eggs every day. The presence of just one wasp is enough to send some people in to a panic, but what would you do faced with thousands of them? The first thing is keep calm and call for help.   Why do wasps’ nests pose a danger? Pest control options can take the sting out of your wasp’s nest problem quickly and efficiently by taking a few simple measures, so don’t live in fear of a menace on your doorstep, take action today. As a rule wasps only sting when they feel threatened, the problem is when they do feel under attack they release a chemical that alerts other wasps to the danger, which then join the attack. Disturbing a wasps’ nest is particularly hazardous as it will release multitudes of angry wasps. Wasps can sting multiple times and being stung by more than one is certainly an unpleasant experience, the most worrying factor though is the possibility of anaphylaxis from a wasp sting.   Leave getting rid of a wasp’s nest to the experts For these reasons wasp’s nest removal is best left to the experts.

Does hot weather really attract more rats?

Image
While the UK sizzled in this summer’s heatwave there was some speculation that the country would be plagued by rats as a result. So is that the case? Does hot weather spell rat infestations? Not surprisingly a short spell of hot weather is not suddenly going to lead to a sudden, dramatic surge in the rat population. The concern more specifically is related to rubbish and the greater incidence of food being thrown away as it goes off more quickly in the heat. Rats , as it is well documented, are attracted to rubbish because it provides rich pickings for vermin scavenging for food. As a result of the heat experienced this summer the speed at which food goes off has increased, particularly where fruit and vegetables are concerned. Shorter shelf life for food encourages rats So while rats may be having a field day tucking into discarded apples and carrots, which will ultimately strengthen them, they are also having to search for water. In urban areas where food has become more ple...

Keep your balcony and terrace views free from pigeons

Image
Having a bird’s eye view is wonderful, especially when you are spending more time at home, however, if birds actually decide to take up residence on your balcony or terrace you will need to take action. By their nature, balconies and terraces can become a natural attraction to some birds, offering shelter from the elements – and sometimes food too. While for some homeowners feeding the birds and spotting different species close up is a source of joy, this can also attract unwanted, pest birds, particularly pigeons, to visit in larger numbers. When are birds a problem on balconies and terraces? The close proximity that balconies and terraces have to the interior of homes means that any pest birds that may be attracted to them are also closer to your home. Many people will feel uncomfortable being in close proximity to birds and their presence alone can deter people from using their balcony and even make it feel out of bounds. More problematic though are the health risks, mess a...
