TDC Pest Control Tips & Information
Bees – Masonry bees are the main pest subject to pest control, due to their ability to create cavities and potentially cause structural damage such as drilling holes in walls. The preferred method of dealing with the bees is via the Bee Keeping Association.
Wasps – Wasps infest during the warmer months of the year. Measuring at approximately 2cm in length, with smooth, black and yellow striped bodies. Wasps tend to build nests in dark and dry corners, forming colonies and causing a nuisance in your home.
Species of bees that are subject to pest control
- Masonry bees are the smallest of the bee species that are black and orange in colour. These bees drill into brick work to create cavities to build nests, potentially causing structural damage.
- Bumble bees are the largest of the bee species. Fluffy all over, black with yellow bands and may build nests anywhere.
- Honey bees have a fluffy head with a smooth body. They are black and yellow-orange in colour and like bumble bees, can build their nests anywhere. Honey bees are the only type of bees dealt with by the British Bee Keepers Association (BBKA)
Why is it necessary to wait at least 24 hours after discovering a bees or wasps nest to have it treated?
It is normally suggested that the customer should wait at least 24 hours before contacting a pest controller about a bees or wasps nest as generally they tend to move on during this time period. If they are still prominent after 24 hours, then it is suggested that the customer contacts the British Bee Keeping Association first, and then a pest controller after this.
Rodents
How can I tell if I have a problem with rats or mice in my property?
Whether you’re worried about mice infesting your home, or you own a commercial property and suspect you may have a problem with rats, the thought of these rodents infesting can be unbearable. There are a few ways to confirm if you have rats or mice lurking in your premises, including:
- Shredded papers and materials
- Smear marks on any skirting boards
- A strong smell of urine in various areas of your property
- Noises at night, as rats and mice are nocturnal
How can rodents be treated by a TDC pest Controller?
There are numerous techniques that can be used to treat both rat and mice infestations, however this can be dependent on the following:
- The environment in which they are inhabiting
- Domestic circumstances, such as children or domestic pets on site
- The size or extent of the infestation
It will take two visits from a pest controller to treat a rodent infestation. The controller will need to attend the premises to assess the work that will be required, trapping squirrels, or, in the case of rats of mice, using bait or sticky boards. Our controllers will also make sure to give advice on combatting a further infestation, ensuring that your pest problem is a thing of the past. On the second visit, our pest controllers will remove any remaining baits, boards or traps used, as well as any dead bodies.
TDC Pest Fact: Rats contaminate and destroy enough food worldwide each year to feed 200 million people.
