MOLES

I’ve seen grown men cry over moles; their lovely manicured lawns are ruined by the moles that are mining.  You can set your clock by a mole: they work for 4 hours workin g, 4 hours sleeping.   Their main senses are their whiskers on their nose which brush along the side of the burrows so that they stay central in the burrow.  Moles are thought to ‘smell in stereo’ which helps them to determine depth and anything new in the tunnel to eat e.g. earthworms, soft roots and small invertebrates.  If they have a surplus of food, earthworms are kept injured but alive, stored in a carefully constructed ‘larder’.  When the food source is scarce during hard cold weather, they will return to their larders.  Call me on 07776 063 787 for mole control in Petersfield and the surrounding areas.

SQUIRRELS

Colin would rather be called The Squirrel Man than The Rat man.  Be aware, if squirrels are in your loft they will chew through cables and timber.  Squirrels, like many rodents, need to chew every day of their life to wear down and sharpen their super speedy growing teeth.  Without gnawing, they cannot survive to eat a food source. Beware!  Your home insurance will be nil void unless you have pest cover.  If your house burns down and you do not have pest control in place, you will not be covered by insurance.  Do not hesitate to call me.  Put 07776 063 787 Colin The Pest in your phone for today's and tomorrow's pest problems in Sussex, West Sussex and Hampshire.

PIGEONS

As prolific breeders and opportunists, flocks of pigeons are a common sight in our urban spaces and countryside.  But with pigeons comes unsightly, slippery droppings.  The poo can be unsafe, stain and damage the structure of buildings.  Solar panels are the new, irresistible roosting spot; the void underneath the panel offers a sheltered nesting site and its lip can make a good vantage point.  Pigeons are harmful to humans carrying contagious diseases e.g. Newcastle disease, Salmonella and E.coli.  Also, nuisance pigeons carry bird mites.  When the pigeons leave their roosts and nests, these parasites will seek a food source.  That may well be you and your building!  For instance, they will enter the property through cracks and ceiling roses.  I have treated many houses where these creepy crawlies have travelled through houses and bitten people at night during their sleep.  If you need bird control and pigeon protection in Sussex, West Sussex and Hampshire, do not delay, give ‘Colin The Pest’ a ring on 07776 063 787.

CLUSTER FLIES

A customer asked me to get rid of cluster flies.  The photograph shows the invasion of flies on the windowsill.  This is a bad case, but a common sight in the Autumn.  On bright days, the flies crawled out of cracks in the walls, windows and the attic and sluggishly flew over to the sunny side of the home in search of safe over-wintering spots.  A colony of flies in an otherwise clean home certainly can be unnerving and it is understandable that the owners refused to live in their house until the fly control treatment had taken place.  But, after two treatments and the hard weather closed in during late Sept / early Oct, the treatment worked with no more cluster flies entering the rooms.  We only generally tend to see cluster flies in the Autumn when the first frosts come along and flies move into our loft spaces, shut their metabolism down and hibernate until the spring, and then they move out into the grass fields and lawns to feed off animal dung.  Put Colin The Pest 07776 063 787 in your contacts on your phone for help with fly eradication in Petersfield and the surrounding areas.

RATS

Catching and dealing with the problem early can be key to an effective quick eradication of pests, no matter what they are. Rats for example, have a breeding pattern which means within 2 to 3 days after littering, a female rat can be pregnant again. Within three weeks, she’ll give birth to more young effectively increasing the rat population in a very short period of time. Rats cause a large amount of damage, shredding any kind of material from wood to soft furnishings, in order to build their nest.  I will survey your property to decide ont he extent and size of any infestation to know how best to tackle the problem.  Put Colin The Pest 07776 063 787 in your contacts on your phone for help with rodent control in in Sussex, West Sussex and Hampshire.

INSECTS

Insect infestations are also a very real issue as they don’t go away on their own.  From the bites of bed bugs and fleas, to the nuisance pests of silverfish, moths, woodworm and beetles, I have experienced the range of insects.  Leaving the problem to see if it goes away isn’t an option as they need a professional treatment to kill and remove them.

Leaving any pest problem for too long will cost you more money in the long run. When you call me, I’ll survey the problem, providing you with comprehensive feedback and advice on the best way forward. If you have a pest problem, then do not delay – give me a call!

COCKROACHES

Cockroaches are undoubtedly amongst the most noxious of pests and have been living alongside humans for hundreds of years.  There are over 4000 species worldwide; Oriental and German Cockroaches are the most common in the UK and very distressing for people.  These pests are phenomenal breeders and a health hazard in our homes, food outlets, hotels and businesses because they contaminate their environment with faeces or castings, and regurgitated food.  You will notice a bad smell; hear them scuttle especially at night; and see their long whip-like antennae, exocskeletons and droppings.   If you need my expertise in cockroach control in Sussex, West Sussex and Hampshire, call ‘Colin The Pest’ on 07776 063 787 immediate before the roach population explodes.
