Spotting the signs of a pest problem, Solihull

It is easy to be alarmed at the sight of an unwelcome insect or rodent in your home, but a one-off sighting is different to a pest problem. As cat owners will no doubt be all too aware, mice in particular can occasionally make an unwanted appearance without a further problem. But if you see an unexplained mouse in your home more than once or are unfortunate enough to see a rat, it is time to make a call to a Solihull pest control such as Pest Busters. It is very likely that with a little more investigation you will be able to identify a point of access and you might even notice droppings. Large numbers of wasps or bees around your Solihull home could be a sign that you have a nest, and while these insects have an important part to play in nature, as a domestic pest they pose a risk of stinging. Insects large and small can also be problematic domestic pests in Solihull including:
  • Carpet beetles
  • Silverfish
  • Cockroaches
  • Woodworm
  • Fruit flies
As with other pests the first time you know you have a problem is usually when you spot one of these or notice the damage they have caused.

While thorough cleaning is a good way to help stop pests making their home in your house in the first place once they are there it may take a bit more to get rid of them. Acting quickly will help you to reclaim your home swiftly but will also help to stop the problem worsening. In cases of wasps and bees is it not advised to even attempt to tackle the problem yourself and you should always call in Solihull pest control experts as soon as you think there may be a nest on your property.

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...
