Do you need the help of Birmingham pest services this summer?

wasp-control-birmingham-pests-300x221.jpgSummer pests can be, well... a real pest. No sooner have you opened the windows to enjoy the warm summer air before a bevy of winged insects descend on your kitchen. Wasps, flies and fruits flies all love the tastes of summer, or perhaps that should more specifically be, they love all the rapidly decaying fruit and vegetables. While the idea of al fresco dining is what summer evenings are all about, flies and wasps can turn a pleasurable experience into a fly-swatting nightmare. The kids scream as wasps hover dangerously close to their apple juice while you turn back to discover a fly happily sitting on your burger. Not a recipe for the most relaxing evening. And that is only outside. Wasps and flies will, of course, also make their ways indoors to continue terrifying children and exercising squatters’ rights on any rogue crumbs or leftover sandwiches that happen to have been left on the side for a nano-second. Then there are fruit flies. Lured in by the rapid ripening of fruit in the summer months, once fruit flies have found a good food source they will only grow in numbers. Before you know it the odd fruit fly will transform into a cloud of fruit flies every time you move an apple out of the fruit bowl or open the bin. The key to managing summer household pests is swift action – knowing when to call in the help of Birmingham pest services and when to shut the doors, re-house the fruit and have a frantic clean up.

How can Birmingham pest services help with summer pests?

pest-control-birmingham-flies-insects-300x203.jpgThere is every chance that, if caught quickly enough, you will be able to deal with summer pests yourself by: Removing the food source – this could be several areas, but make sure the bin is clean and airtight; empty and clean the fruit bowl and store fruit and vegetables in a cupboard until the problem has passed; and have a thorough clean of food and eating areas. Control entry points – This is easier said than done in the warm weather, but if wasps are flying in through a particular window attracted to a smell indoors leave that window or door closed. Try home deterrents – citronella candles are reported to help deter flying insects, while fly screens could help by adding an extra barrier. However, it is important that you are also able to identify when you have a real problem on your hands that needs the help of a Birmingham pest services specialist. Unusually large numbers of wasps in and around the home could signal a wasps’ nest on the property, while it is very easy for fruit fly infestations to grow out of control. If you do suspect that you have a problem with a particular summer pest call in help from Birmingham pest services as soon as possible. Pest Busters is a Birmingham pest service that can help out in a wide variety of situations. If you have a concern about a pest in your home contact us to find out how we can help.

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...
