TDC Pest Control Facts & Information
We have included some information on just some of the pests our expert controllers treat, and how to spot the signs of an infestation in your home or commercial property.
Birds
If you own a commercial property and birds are causing defacement, TDC Pest Control can help. It is important to note however, that feral pigeons are the only type of bird that is subject to pest control treatment. This is because of their ability to deface stonework as a result of adopting ledges on buildings and other structures in our towns or cities, whilst contributing to carrying and spreading diseases to people and livestock.
How feral pigeons can be treated by us
At TDC Pest Control, our fully certified controllers understand that when a pest problem takes hold in a domestic or commercial property, the customer would like it to be resolved quickly and humanely. Feral pigeons are treated by our professional pest controllers by laying bird proofing spikes or netting. This prevents the birds landing in a specific area, often useful around a roof or building ledge. However, it is important to note that the controller cannot treat any type of pest problem where a bird has nested, has eggs or live young in the nest.
How to identify a rodent problem in your domestic or commercial property
There are three types of rodent in which are subject to TDC Pest Control treatment, including rats, mice and squirrels. Rats thrive on familiarity, once they have moved into your home, it won’t be long until their friends turn up uninvited to join them. We understand that the thought of rats or mice living in your kitchen for example, can be unbearable. There are a few ways to tell if you have mice or rats lurking in your home, including:
- Noticing signs of infestation including droppings (around the size of a grain of rice)
- Shredded paper/material
- Strong smell of urine
- Noises at night
- Smear marks on skirting boards
TDC Facts:
- Some beetles produce light and have the ability to glow in the dark.

- A queen bee can lay her weight in eggs each day, laying 1 per minute, all day and all night, for a total of 1,500 eggs in 24 hours, and 200,000 in a year.
Ants
There are two specific species of ants that are subject to pest control in the UK, these include:
Garden Ants also known as the common black ant, are black or red in colour and measure at approximately 7mm in length. These ants can be found all over Europe and in some parts of North America and Asia. These ants rarely cause damage to plants, however they do feed on sugary foods and can be a nuisance when a colony invade your home looking for food.
Pharaoh Ants are distinctively red in colour and much smaller in size than garden ants, averaging at around 3.5mm in length. Pharaoh ants live in colonies that can vary in size, although colonies are made up of several queens, in which the worker ants bring food back to the nest to feed the queen and larvae. They prefer to nest in hidden and well-protected areas, eating all types of food but especially sweets. As a result, they are considered to be a pest due to their ability to survive sufficiently in indoor areas and contaminate foods by the diseases they carry.
How can I tell if I have an ant problem?
Depending on the severity of the ant infestation, indications can include the sheer amount you will see along surfaces in your home or garden, as well as possibly discovering an ants nest. Signs of a garden ants nest can be spotting mounds of earth, this will be the entrance of the ants nest.
What do ants eat?
Ants generally are attracted to foods that are high in sugar and greases. They will eat almost anything apart from solid foods, as all foods must be liquids. Ants also need a lot of water in order to survive, especially during a drought.
