Alnwick Rat Control

Well, need we say more about rats? They are the stuff of nightmares. They crawl around the house, creating a lot of noise, eating any leftovers and potentially, attacking small children and or pets. They are often attributed with the spreading of diseases and for that reason alone, you may have trouble sleeping with them in the house. Our Alnwick service is very efficient and quick. We know how rats behave, how they patrol their territories, and what kinds of eating patterns they have. We will use bait, traps, poisons and other techniques to deal with any variety of rats. No matter how large or small they may be, fast or nimble, we can deal with a rat infestation in your garden or in your home.

Alnwick Mice Control

Mice are not as bad. Although they can be annoying, they don’t carry that awful stigma that the rat does. But, they are not really any consolation when they cause almost as much annoyance. Mice if anything, can get into smaller areas, and this can cause more complex problems. In Alnwick we have been called out numerous times because mice have been chewing holes into the cereal boxes, eating biscuit crumbs underneath the table or even attacking the pet dog.

We have highly trained professionals that can spot the signs of mice in the home or business, and then deploy traps, bait and poison to deal with the matter, safely.

Wasp Nest Removal in Alnwick

Although wasps are not easily distinguishable to bees, they do pose much more of a threat. Bees are industrious creatures, just out to make as much delicious honey as they can. Wasps on the other hand, are mean, aggressive and they don’t care about honey at all. We can forgive them for the latter, but their highly attacking nature is not something we turn the other cheek to. Wasps eat meat, other insects actually. In some sense they are useful, but this means they also eat meat which we enjoy at dinner time. They can swarm the open litter if they can find it, with any kind of food that is worth eating.

Wasps in Alnwick are just as dangerous as in any other area across the UK. The sting of a wasp can cause an allergic reaction, not just in humans but in our beloved pets as well. That’s why in Alnwick one of our most trusted employees will respond to your call and either kill or remove the wasps infesting your home or garden. In the Pestforce network, we work with wildlife trusts that allow us to safely rehome the nests of wasps so they don’t need to be killed outright. This helps preserve the balance in the ecosystem.

Alnwick Bee Nest Removal

When you have a bee infestation, all the good and interesting things you’ve ever read or see about bees, goes out of the window. You just want them gone! I sympathise because when you have children who want to play in the garden but are constantly being swarmed, or when your dog is being attacked by the bees, it can be very frustrating. In Alnwick and across the UK, this occurs during certain times of the year, mainly the spring and summer.

Bees can rapidly multiply, which can lead them to search for new homes. If you have bees in your garden, or even in your home, call us and one of our professionals will get out to the scene as soon as possible.

At Pestforce, we seek to protect bees, and we try our best to relocate them elsewhere. In Alnwick or anywhere in the UK, bees are not protected but they are very important to the local ecosystem. I recognise this, after all, how on earth would our shops stock the best honey in the world?

This is why, if I can I will look at the situation or one of my employees will, and we’ll decide whether a swarm nest can be saved or has to be eradicated. We will be wearing protective equipment so we’re not in any danger, and we’ll safely remove the nest and then work with the local wildlife trusts to find them a new, safe home from which they can keep producing their honey.

Alnwick Squirrel Control

Are you having problems with grey squirrels in Alnwick? Then our professional Alnwick pest control service is just what you need. Red squirrels are the native species to the UK and they have some key differences to the grey. The red squirrel is smaller, in between 19-23cm and weighs only 270-360g. The grey on the other hand is 25-30cm and weighs double, up to 720g. As you can imagine, the latter has a larger appetite and it can cause much more disruption to your garden. Grey squirrels are almost on par with rats when they really begin to flourish out of control. They will climb into the smallest crawl spaces, make a racket, run around in the walls and snatch any food they can find.

We’ll come out and assess the situation, number how many squirrels there are, how they get around, and find their hiding spots. We’ll humanely trap them if we can. This means setting up traps in your garden and possibly in your home. We’ll properly take the time to educate you and your family to make sure you are never in any danger.

Alnwick Bed Bug Control

When you can’t get to sleep because something is nibbling on your elbow, it might not be your husband! We of course are making light of a horrible situation, as bed bugs can really make you lose your normal sleep hours.

You might wake up in the middle of the night and feel something, literally sting and biting you. Bed bugs are nasty critters, they gorge themselves on your blood, fatten themselves up and then waddle their fat-selves to the other side of the mattress to sleep.

Alnwick Cockroach Control

Perhaps the most infamous creature that causes a lot of people anxiety is, the cockroach. We are almost thankful for this little critter because it keeps us in business all year round. It looks very odd, with a brown exoskeleton and long antenna and hairy legs.

It makes your skin crawl and it also has the connotations of spreading disease. We are one of the most active cockroach controllers in Alnwick and we’ve worked with many clients that want to remove these critters as quickly as possible.

Alnwick Flea Control

Fleas don’t really seem like a pest that needs to be controlled. You’ve probably had or known of a pet that has had fleas. A simple flea shampoo has normally done the trick. But sometimes, it's not enough.

Fleas can quickly spread and this can cause for the entire home to become the kingdom of one flea colony. We’ve been to many Alnwick homes to help clients find out where fleas are coming from, where they are hiding and get rid of them.

The above pests are some of our most popular Alnwick pests we treat.
