How do I know if I need to call in pest control, Birmingham?

Creepy crawlies can find their way into our homes at all sorts of times and in all seasons, and this is perfectly normal, but a few telltale signs will signal when it is time to call in professional pest control in Birmingham. Spiders, wasps, woodlice, even the odd mouse can make their way indoors without there being anything to worry about. The problem is when you have an infestation on your hands that you cannot get rid of.

Why can a pest infestation be a problem in Birmingham?

Aside of the fact that most people are not comfortable sharing their homes with bugs and rodents, the main issue around household pests is their potential to spread disease, sting/bite or cause damage. No-one wants to be on the receiving end of multiple wasp stings – which is a very real possibility if there is a nest on your property – or wake up covered in bites. A woodworm infestation could cause untold damage to timber structures in the home while carpet beetles will happily munch through whatever fabric they find. Then there is the issue of rodents and flies that have feasted on compost, rubbish and other less savoury substances transferring bacteria onto surfaces and food within your home.

Signs you need professional pest control, Birmingham

The signs of an insect infestation can be very subtle as many household pests are actually miniscule. If you keep noticing a certain kind of insect in your home try to track down where they could be coming from to see if you can identify the centre of an infestation. Telltale signs can include droppings, larvae and damaged material or woodwork. Likewise, if you notice unusually large numbers of bees or wasps, see if you can locate a nest. wasps-300x240.jpg In the event that you spot a rodent in your home, trace how it could have got into the house and look for droppings as well as listening out for activity. If you are unfortunate enough to suffer an infestation of rodents or insects contact an expert in pest control, Birmingham, to tackle the issue as soon as possible. In the case of most infestations it is very difficult to clear the problem yourself. If you suspect that you have an infestation but have been unable to find evidence it is still advisable to call in pest control in Birmingham as specialists will know exactly what to look for and will be able to advise you on the best course of action.

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...
