Hearing a noise in the roof? Find out why you need to seek advice from pest control, Birmingham

There are few things more disconcerting than hearing the sound of scratching and gnawing above your head as you try to sleep, which makes an early call to pest control Birmingham a priority. Fast action is imperative in tackling an unwanted pest in your attic to stop the problem in its tracks – and restore your sleep. A number of pests are known to make their homes in lofts of houses around the UK, namely rats, mice, squirrels, bats and birds.

Identify what is living in your loft with pest control Birmingham

What pest is in your loft does make a difference to how serious the problem is and the best way to remedy it. Any pest that has got into your loft is an opportunist that has made the most of even just the tiniest gap to enjoy the warmth and shelter you roof provides. Calling in help from pest control Birmingham at the first signs of a problem will be a massive step in helping to keep it contained.  As pest control experts, Pest Busters will want to identify what species is in the loft and will explain how this affects you.

Rats

Rats are a real problem if they get into your home. Carrying disease, causing damage and breeding quickly, fast and effective action is needed to remove and then block rats from your home.

Squirrels

Once they have found a cosy spot in your home squirrels will be extremely reluctant to leave. Not only are they noisy they will damage the area by gnawing materials.

Mice

Surprisingly noisy for such small creatures, mice will destroy belongings, electrical cables and structures through gnawing. With the potential to breed quickly, fast action is again vital.

Birds

Birds can be tricky to get rid of as they are protected by law making it an offence to disturb their nest. The best option is to wait until the end of the nesting season, have any debris professionally removed and block access.

Bats

The laws surrounding bats are even stricter and as a protected species it is illegal to damage, disturb or block access to roosting areas. You will need to seek specialist advice. A pest in your attic will not go away on its own so to preserve your sleep – and peace of mind – get in touch with pest control Birmingham to tackle the problem as quickly as possible. Pest Busters offers a comprehensive pest control service in Birmingham and across the West Midlands. If you are concerned that you may have a pest in your attic contact us immediately.

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...
