Common Pest Problems in Wrexham
Pest issues in Wrexham tend to follow clear patterns, often linked to the age of properties, nearby countryside, weather changes, and seasonal activity. Below are some of the most common problems I’m called out to deal with across the area.
Rats in Wrexham 2026
Rats are one of the most common call-outs in Wrexham, especially around gardens, drains, sheds, and older properties. They can cause serious damage, contaminate food areas, and spread disease if left untreated. I don’t just deal with the visible activity, I look at access points, nesting areas, and why they’re there in the first place.
Mice in Wrexham 2026
Mice are a regular issue in both homes and commercial premises. They often enter buildings through very small gaps and can be active in lofts, kitchens, and wall cavities. Scratching noises, droppings, or a strong smell are usually the first signs. Proper control and follow-up visits are key to stopping repeat problems.
Wasps in Wrexham 2026
Wasps become a major problem during the warmer months, particularly when nests are built in lofts, roof spaces, sheds, or wall cavities. Once activity increases, the risk of stings goes up quickly. I offer prompt wasp nest treatment to deal with the problem safely and effectively.
Ants in Wrexham 2026
Ant infestations are common in kitchens, patios, and around doorways during warmer weather. While they might seem harmless at first, ants can be difficult to control without treating the nest properly. I focus on stopping the infestation at source, not just the visible ants.
Fleas in Wrexham 2026
Fleas are often introduced by pets but can quickly spread throughout a property. Bites, irritation, and ongoing activity are common if the problem isn’t treated thoroughly. I provide structured treatments with follow-up where required to ensure the infestation is fully cleared.
Other Pests in Wrexham 2026
I also deal with a range of other pest issues, including cluster flies, moths, cockroaches, and seasonal insects. If you’re unsure what you’re dealing with, I’m always happy to take a look and give honest advice.
If you’ve noticed signs of pest activity or something doesn’t feel right, it’s always best to get it checked sooner rather than later. Early treatment usually means quicker, more effective results.
Simply call me on 01978 600 106 to discuss further.

- Treatments are carried out using safe, proven methods in line with Pestforce and BPCA guidance. Where a problem requires more than one visit, multiple visits are included as standard, so the issue is fully resolved rather than rushed or left incomplete.
- Payment is preferred by card or cash at the first visit, keeping things simple and transparent from the outset. After each visit, you’ll also receive digital reports and invoices, giving you a clear record of the work carried out and any advice on prevention going forward.

About Me
I’m Jack, and I run Pestforce Wrexham as an independent, local business. I’ve lived in the area for over 26 years, so this really is home for me, not just somewhere I work.
I’ve been running my own pest control business for over two years now, but before that I worked in agriculture, which gave me a strong understanding of pests, wildlife, and working outdoors in all conditions. Moving into pest control felt like a natural step, and going independent meant I could manage my own time and do the job properly, without being rushed or pushed into cutting corners.
I’m a dad to a young son, and family time is really important to me. We’re often out and about enjoying parks and trips to places like the zoo. I grew up around dogs, so I’m very aware of how important pets are in the home, and I always take that into account when carrying out treatments.
Outside of work, I enjoy crown green bowls and currently help out a team in Ruabon. I’m also a Liverpool supporter, and when I’m not working, I’m usually spending time with family or getting outdoors whenever possible.
Running my own business means my name and reputation matter. I take pride in turning up when I say I will, doing the job properly, and treating people fairly. When you book Pestforce Wrexham, you’re dealing directly with me from start to finish, and I take that responsibility seriously.
If you want to speak directly to the person who’ll be carrying out the work, call me on 01978 600 106.
Rat Control in Wrexham
Rat problems are rarely the same, which is why I don’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach. Every rat control job I carry out in Wrexham is bespoke, based on what’s actually happening at your property.
My focus is always on understanding why the rats are there, how they’re getting in, and what needs to be done to resolve the problem properly, not just deal with surface activity.
How My Rat Control Treatment Works
Visit 1 – Full survey and assessment
The first visit is about listening properly and gathering real evidence. I’ll take the time to understand what you’ve noticed, where activity has been seen, and any concerns you have. I then carry out a full inspection of the property, inside and out, looking for signs of rat activity, access points, harbourage, and contributing factors.
Based on what I find, I’ll decide on the most appropriate control method. This may include:
- Traps where necessary
- Baiting, only where it is safe and suitable
- Ongoing monitoring points
Every decision is based on safety, effectiveness, and the specific layout of your property.
Follow-up visits
Most rat problems are resolved within three visits. Follow-up visits allow me to monitor activity, adjust treatments if needed, and confirm that control has been successful. Multiple visits are included as part of the standard treatment, so the issue is properly dealt with, not rushed.
Entry Points and Prevention
A key part of my service is identifying entry points and weaknesses around the property. Rats will keep returning if access points aren’t addressed, so I always look at where they’re getting in and why they’ve chosen that location.
Where proofing work is required, such as sealing gaps or advising on repairs, this may be an additional cost to the standard treatment. I’ll always explain this clearly, show you the issue, and talk it through before anything is done.
A Straightforward, Honest Approach
My aim is simple. Deal with the rats, prevent them coming back, and give you clear advice you can trust.
If you’re dealing with rats at your home or business in Wrexham, the sooner it’s addressed, the easier it usually is to resolve.
Call me on 01978 600 106 to discuss the issue or book a rat control visit.
Mice Control in Wrexham
Mouse problems are very similar to rats in that every job is different. The layout of the property, how mice are getting in, and where they’re nesting all affect how the problem needs to be handled. For that reason, I always provide a bespoke mice control service, not a blanket treatment.
Mice are commonly found in kitchens, lofts, wall cavities, and behind units, often entering through very small gaps that are easy to miss without a proper inspection.
How My Mice Control Treatment Works
Visit 1 – Full survey and assessment
The first visit is about understanding the issue properly. I’ll listen to what you’ve noticed, where activity has been seen or heard, and how long the problem has been going on. I then carry out a full inspection to look for droppings, access points, nesting areas, and travel routes.
Based on the evidence found, I’ll decide on the safest and most effective treatment. This may include:
- Traps where appropriate
- Baiting where it is safe and suitable
- Monitoring points tailored to the property
There is no standard setup. Everything depends on what I find and what’s safest for your home, pets, and family.
Follow-up visits
Most mouse problems are resolved within three visits. Follow-up visits allow me to monitor activity, adjust control methods if needed, and confirm the issue has been fully dealt with. Multiple visits are included as part of the standard treatment where required.
Entry Points and Proofing Advice
With mice, access points are often very small. I always look for how they’re getting into the property and why they’ve chosen that location. Identifying these entry points is key to preventing repeat problems.
Where proofing work is required, such as sealing gaps or advising on repairs, this may be an additional cost to the standard treatment. I’ll always explain what’s needed and why, before any work is carried out.
Straightforward, Professional Control
My aim with mice control is simple:
- Remove the infestation
- Reduce the risk of return
- Give clear, honest advice going forward
If you’re hearing scratching, finding droppings, or suspect mice in your property in Wrexham, it’s best to deal with it early.
Call me on 01978 600 106 to discuss the issue or arrange a visit.
Wrexham Bird Control and Pigeon Proofing
Birds, and more commonly pigeons, are a common sighting across Wrexham. However, if they’re causing problems, or have made a nest in your home or on your roof, then our Wrexham bird control service will be of interest to you. Birds and pigeons are adaptive creatures and can nest in some very hard to reach places, including loft spaces, guttering and under solar panels. And if they can make their way inside your home or property, then you may have a large mess to clean. Some birds are protected so as a responsible pest control company we will assess the species of birds to ensure proper treatment and / or advice. Our local Wrexham bird control experts also provide guano cleaning services in Wrexham. The mess that a bird nest or infestation can leave is not only unsightly, it can pose a serious health risk. Our experts can chemically treat the guano soiled areas and help restore them and neutralise the hygiene risk.
Call our Wrexham bird control team on 01978 600 106 before your bird problem grows into something more challenging. We are happy to help and provide a free inspection and a pressure-free approach.
Wrexham Wasp Nest Removal
Similar to bees, wasps are a very common sighting in the summer months (July – October) around the garden. That doesn’t stop them being intimidating, particularly when angry or in numbers. Our Wrexham wasp control experts are fully equipped to help you get rid of nuisance wasps around or in your home. Our Wrexham wasp nest removal services are one of our most popular pest control services we offer in Wrexham in and around summer. The Pestforce network has removed wasp nests from every imaginable place, from lofts and rooftops, kitchens, garages and sheds, and even football stadiums! We’ve dealt with every size of wasp nest possible too, which is why you can be confident in our wasp nest removal services in Wrexham.
If you’ve found a wasp nest near your house and need our Wrexham wasp nest removal service, or keep noticing wasps inside, call Pestforce Pest Control Wrexham today on 01978 600 106. We will come and do an inspection free of charge.
Wrexham Bed Bug Control
If you have a bed bug problem at home or accommodation, there is very little you can do, you will most likely need professional help, such as our Wrexham bed bug control service. As bed bugs are so small, they can be easy to miss. One thing that is hard to miss however is a bed bug bite. If you keep getting bitten during the night and keep finding bites or bumps on your body, then you’ve likely got a bed bug problem.

If you notice little specs of blood on your bed sheets, this may be another sign you have bed bugs.
If bed bugs have found their way into your home, then call us today on 01978 600 106 for our Wrexham bed bug control.
Mole Catching in Wrexham
Mole problems are very different to rodents, and effective control relies on experience, patience, and setting traps correctly based on conditions on the ground.
When I carry out mole catching in Wrexham, I work closely with you to understand where the activity is happening. Customers often show me fresh molehills or runs, which helps pinpoint the most active areas and increases the chances of a quick result.
How My Mole Catching Service Works
Initial visit and assessment
On the first visit, I assess the level of activity, look at soil conditions, and identify the most active runs. The type of trap used will depend on the ground, moisture levels, and how the tunnels are laid out. There is no single trap that works everywhere, so I select the most suitable option for each site.
Traps are set carefully and professionally to maximise effectiveness while keeping everything safe and controlled.
Follow-up visits
Most mole problems are resolved within two to three visits. Follow-up visits allow me to check traps, reposition them if required, and confirm that the current problem has been dealt with.
Guaranteed Catch, With Honest Advice
I guarantee to catch the current mole or moles causing the existing problem. Once activity has stopped, the issue is considered resolved.
However, because moles are territorial animals, new moles can sometimes move into the area in the future, especially in gardens, paddocks, and rural ground. If that happens, I’m always happy to advise and return if needed.
A Practical, Experienced Approach
Mole catching is about understanding ground conditions and animal behaviour, not rushing the job. I take a calm, methodical approach to give you the best chance of a quick and lasting result.
If you’re dealing with mole activity on your land or garden in Wrexham, early action usually makes control easier.
Call me on 01978 600 106 to discuss mole activity or arrange a visit.
Wrexham Ant Control
Ants are fascinating insects, but that’s no comfort when they are invading your home. If you have an ant infestation in your home, call for our Wrexham ant control services and we can arrange an inspection to find the best way to treat your ant problem. There are several types of ants prevalent in Wrexham, some requiring a different type of treatment to the next.
No matter what type of ant is causing problems for you, our Wrexham ant control service will help eliminate the infestation and stop repeated ant related issues. Call 01978 600 106 to speak with Jack at Pestforce Pest Control Wrexham today.
Commercial Pest Control & Annual Contracts in Wrexham
For many businesses, pest control isn’t a one-off issue. It’s about ongoing prevention, compliance, and peace of mind. That’s why a large part of my work in Wrexham is built around annual pest control contracts.
I provide tailored commercial pest control contracts for a wide range of premises, including shops, offices, warehouses, farms, hospitality venues, and other commercial sites. Every contract is set up around the specific risks of your business, not a generic checklist.
Why Annual Pest Control Contracts Matter
An annual contract helps prevent problems before they start and ensures you stay compliant with environmental health and audit requirements.
With an ongoing contract in place, you benefit from:
- Regular scheduled visits
- Ongoing monitoring and preventative control
- Clear digital reports and documentation
- Faster response if an issue arises
- Consistent oversight from the same pest controller
Because I manage all visits personally, you’re not dealing with different technicians each time. I get to know your site, understand risk areas, and adjust control methods as needed throughout the year.
Bespoke Contracts, Not Fixed Packages
Every business is different. A retail unit has very different risks to a farm, warehouse, or food-related business. That’s why I only offer bespoke annual contracts, built around:
- The type of business
- The size and layout of the premises
- The level of pest risk
- Any compliance or audit requirements
There’s no unnecessary work added and nothing missed. You get exactly what your business needs and nothing it doesn’t.
Professional Reporting and Compliance
All contract customers receive digital reports after each visit, outlining:
- Findings and activity levels
- Work carried out
- Monitoring results
- Recommendations going forward
These records are ideal for audits, landlords, insurers, and environmental health inspections, and are stored digitally for easy access whenever needed.
Reliable, Long-Term Support
Because I live locally and run the business myself, contract customers get a reliable, long-term service they can depend on. If something changes at your site or an issue crops up between visits, I’m easy to contact and quick to respond.
If you’re looking for a professional annual pest control contract in Wrexham, I’m happy to carry out a site visit, assess your needs, and provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
Call me on 01978 600 106 to discuss an annual pest control contract for your business.
Frequently Asked Questions – Pest Control in Wrexham
How quickly can you attend?
I offer a fast response, with same-day or next-day appointments available wherever possible. If something needs urgent attention, I’ll always do my best to prioritise it.
Do you offer one-off treatments or ongoing contracts?
I offer both.
For domestic customers, most work is carried out as a bespoke treatment with multiple visits included where needed.
For businesses, I specialise in annual pest control contracts, designed around the specific risks of your premises.
How many visits are included?
That depends on the pest and the situation. Most rat and mouse problems are resolved within three visits, which are included as part of the standard treatment. I don’t rush jobs or leave problems half-solved.
Do you provide reports and paperwork?
Yes. After each visit, you’ll receive digital reports and invoices outlining:
- What was found
- What work was carried out
- Monitoring results
- Any prevention advice
This is especially useful for landlords, letting agents, and commercial customers.
Do you guarantee your work?
For services like mole catching, I guarantee to catch the current mole or moles causing the existing issue.
With rodents, the aim is always full control and prevention, but I’ll also explain any external factors that could cause future activity and how to reduce that risk.
Can new pests return after treatment?
In some cases, yes. Pest control isn’t always a one-off fix, especially if entry points or environmental factors remain. That’s why I always look for why pests are there and give clear advice on prevention. Proofing work may sometimes be recommended at an additional cost.
How do customers usually pay?
Payment is preferred by card or cash at the first visit, keeping things clear and straightforward from the start.
Do you cover commercial properties?
Yes. I work with a wide range of businesses across Wrexham and the surrounding areas, providing tailored annual pest control contracts with regular visits, monitoring, and compliance-ready documentation.
What areas do you cover?
I’m based just outside Wrexham and cover the local area, working across most LL postcode areas. If you’re unsure whether you’re covered, just give me a call.
How do I book a visit?
You can call me directly on 01978 600 106. You’ll speak to me, not a call centre, and I’ll talk you through the next steps.
Recent Jobs
Tree bees in a flymo in Wrexham - 13th May 2022
Unusual job today in Wrexham tree bees had built a nest in a built-in shed which the customer needed to use. The shed was very cluttered and on clearing it out(wearing protective clothing) found the nest in a flymo, by this time there were around 100 not very happy bumble bees flying around inside. I re-located the nest to the bottom of the garden with the queen happily buzzing away inside with her brood and gave the shed a light spray of repellent to put off any returning bees. Happy customer, bees not so much ,but at least none killed or injured.
Mason Bees in Wrexham - 11th May 2022
It's still a little early for active wasp nests but I have been getting worried phone calls from customers, yesterday Marford near Wrexham, who have seen what they thought were wasps disappearing into holes in their walls. On inspection these have turned out to be mason bees ,much smaller than a wasp and non-aggressive; they are also extremely good pollinators-over 100x more efficient than honey bees! They are solitary bees and tend to dig small holes in soft mortar or use existing holes so unless they are appearing in large numbers nothing to worry about. The best solution to deal with them is to wait until late summer/when there is no more activity and re-point the affected areas with a hard mortar.
Rats and squirrels work together to cause mayhem at an education facility in Wrexham, LL11, 9th May 2022
Pestforce Pest Control Wrexham were called in to assist a caretaker at an education facility in Wrexham. We arrived on site and completed a full survey of the grounds. The conditions on site created an ideal retreat for rodents. Bungs were missing from the bottom of the bins creating an easy entrance for rats. Squirrels also played a part, as they had been pulling rubbish and food waste out through the holes. The property next door was messy, overgrown and of generally poor condition. There is also a river close by. The rats had migrated into a landfill area that had been used as foundations for a new block, leaving a narrow alley running between the adjacent messy property. After four visits of heavy baiting, and repairing the bins, myself and the caretaker were extremely pleased to see no further activity on the fifth visit. The education facility grounds will need to be continually monitored, but for now we are pleased to confirm they are rat free.

Wasps around for Xmas - 11th November 2020
So this is the time of year people start venturing into their lofts and unfortunately find unwelcome guests-mice, rats, cluster flies and.........wasps! If you don't want any of these squatters taking up permanent residence please call today.
Cluster flies in Wrexham - 8th February 2020
Pestforce have recently had a few call outs to cluster fly problems in the Wrexham area.Generally speaking problems are normally experienced late autumn when they first enter buildings and become a nuisance and in the spring when it starts to warm up, when they start re-appearing after hibernation to go back out into the fields to lay their eggs(in earth worms-yuck!). I can only think that the unseasonably warm temperatures have tricked them into believing spring has arrived early.Central heating can also have the same effect. If you do have a problem and are fed up of hundreds of black flies in your living space and windows please ring for a rapid solution.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! If you are one of the many people who have started the New Year hearing noises in the loft,probably rats,or a garden ruined by mole-hills,don't let the problem get worse,give me a ring.
It's raining flies - 30th November 2019
With the severely cold weather the cluster flies are coming in en-masse to over- winter in our nice warm lofts.I did a large property on Saturday and thought there looked to be several thousand that were visible-what I didn't expect once fumigation started was a constant stream from the top of the roof ,dropping dead and pouring down the roof like a black stream.Once the gutter was full they carried on pouring over onto patio-they were still going after 15 minutes. The treatment is non-residual so harmless to the environment and if left, in the spring (or unseasonably warm spell) these flies without doubt will find their way into your house and attracted to light fill your windows-think 'The Omen'! So when you go up in the loft to get your Xmas decorations and there are unwanted guests-give me a ring.
What A Hornet's Nest in Wrexham!!! - 11th October 2019
Unfortunately the occupants of this very big and amazing hornets nest were not happy with sharing the rest of the building with 'humans'! and because of the danger it had to be destroyed.


WASPS!!! - 27 September 2019
Although it is coming towards the end of the wasp nest season I am still getting call outs for newly formed nests as well as the older larger nests.Remember if left untreated each nest can produce multiple queens which in turn will give rise to many new nests next year. Don't take the chance of leaving it untreated,give me a ring for eradication/removal.
DIY Wasp nest removal...not a good idea - August 2019
Pestforce Pest Control North Wales has had many call-outs from customers who have been badly stung trying to deal themselves with wasp nests.The wasps become very agitated and without full P.P.E.this is not recommended. The worst case was a Wrexham farmer who had been stung in the past, no problems. On this occasion one sting on his face and he collapsed. He said if his wife hadn't rushed him to hospital he could have died. His face was still incredibly swollen. Don't put yourself at risk, give me a ring and in the very rare case of a re-visit needed that's included in the call-out fee.
Squirrel went nuts! - Rossette - 11 April 2019
Pestforce Pest Control North Wales were called out to a job at a picturesque cottage that had a problem with ants and mice. You never know what you are going to find when attending a call and after carrying out a thorough check of the property I also found a nest of harlequin bugs and several queen wasps. I had a final surprise when I went up into the loft space. As I put my head through the hatch a grey squirrel came flying at me. Certainly not what I was expecting. After the relevant treatment plan was completed, I left a further satisfied customer.
Successful removal of rats at horse stables – 5 April 2019
Pestforce Pest Control North Wales were called to a local stable that had been experiencing a problem with rats. The rats had been seen running around in the daytime and had burrowed throughout the stables making nests. I was able to provide the owner with the all clear on my third visit. The quick success was due to my treatment plan and also the good house-keeping standards followed by the stable owner. All that is needed now is to monitor for any fresh activity.
Multiple phorid-humpbacked fly infestations – 31 March 2019
Pestforce Pest Control Anglesey had an unusual week dealing with four infestations of phorid-humpback flies. The first case was in a new build conservatory where there was a blockage in old pipework left under the floor. No guesses what the flies were feeding and breeding from.
The second was an empty farm house with flies covering ceilings, walls and windows. The food source for the larvae was the fungus on the walls.
The third and fourth infestations were even more unusual. Two neighbours with almost identical properties which had very large balconies accessed through the lounge were badly infested. The windows, balconies and gutters were full of flies which was strange considering the height of about 15 metres. The food source was rotting moss and lichen in the gutters.
All of the properties were successfully treated which was much to the relief of the owners.
First False Widow call out of the year!
This week I had my first false widow call-out which needed to be dealt with immediately due to the sensitive nature of the location. The webs were quite distinctive, almost like layered sheets and the spiders even more so with what looks like a skull emblazoned on their abdomen. The spiders are not naturally aggressive but in this case chances could not be taken. Great care was taken whilst carrying out the treatment although the bite is no more painful than a wasp or bee sting, bites can become badly infected, sometimes resulting in necrosis. A notable recent victim who suffered the trauma of an infected spider bite was former Wrexham striker, James Gray.
The affected area has been successfully treated, all that is now required is the monitoring of adjacent areas by the staff.
Paracetamol eating Rats in Wrexham! 2nd March 2019
I'm still amazed at some of the things rats eat, at a recent job in Wrexham not only had they polished off a load of chocolate but oddly a tube of steradent and a couple of packs of paracetamol, leaving only the shredded packaging behind! Maybe all the chocolate gave them a head-ache but for sure they had the best looking teeth of any rats I've dealt with! Happily now after treatment all traces are gone from the property.
Mouse in a busy house!
I thought juggling the often long and irregular hours of pest control with private life was tricky until I did a mouse control job for a customer last week. She runs a busy house, studies at university, does week on/week off 12 hour shifts, is learning to drive and somehow manages to fit in a busy social life-respect! At least the mouse problem is sorted so one less thing to worry about!
Aaaand another wasp nest!
Today Pestforce Wrexham have been out to a slightly unusual wasp nest in a garage. I didn't expect to find it had been built in a long cardboard box which it had filled completely and due to its continued growth had pushed both ends of the box out! I was surprised by the weight of it when I removed it too! (wearing protective suit of course).
6 wasp nests at one property!
Today Pestforce have been out to help a returning customer, a smashing family that I have helped in the past. However this visit was for a major wasp problem! 6 wasps nests - 2 in trees in garden, which I removed + 4 in various locations in roof, which I treated using a Lance. I've heard nothing back so hopefully all sorted.
Two wasp nests for the price of one in Wrexham!
Here at Pestforce we did a job for a lovely lady on Friday, she had moved some hay bales in her stable to find not one, but two wasp nests, one sizeable! Her husband would normally deal with the problem if caught early, but on this occasion... luckily... thought better of it. I definitely needed my protective suit as I was engulfed by very angry wasps when removing the nests. I didn't charge any more for the extra nest and this very happy customer left me a great review... thank you!
There are no two days the same in the world of Pest control
It always amazes me how jobs can be so different, from crawling around under someone's floor or tentatively walking from beam to beam in someones dusty attic looking for rodent activity, to a nice scenic job setting up a new contract in a forest park. The day was glorious, the views were fantastic, the site staff were amazing, the steam train passed every hour or so, Hercules were low-flying up the valley and as well as the great forest smells, there was a bakery in the main hub making fresh bread and pizza. Doesn't get much better!
Wasp Control - Large Nest discovered on 23rd November
I went to Ruabon (Wrexham) last Thursday to a call out by a lady who needed to get into her attic but couldn't due to the number of wasps up there. On arriving at the property I could see immediately where the wasps were flying into the nest from outside but using the lance looked unlikely due to the strength of the wind....it would have had to be fully extended. On entering the loft there were many wasps all buzzing around the fluorescent drawn to the light ,but the customer was convinced they were emanating from a second inner loft.It was really cluttered and could find nothing after moving stuff around. I looked around the first part of the loft and again nothing,the only area I hadn't been able to check was behind the raised trap door so I dropped it back down and there were a set of drawn curtains with the odd wasp coming out.On opening them and pulling several cases out of the way I finally found the top of a very large wasp nest leading down out of sight into the eaves. The rest of the treatment was straightforward using Ficam D and standard P.P.E. after which I closed up the loft and told customer to leave for at least a day.
