Flea eggs are translucent to white specks resembling tiny rice grains. They are often found nestled close to an animal’s skin or within contaminated bedding and upholstery. They are around 0.5mm, so they can easily be mistaken for pet dander.

While human flea bites are possible, fleas don’t live on people. They primarily target pets like dogs and cats as their ideal hosts.
Carpet beetle eggs measure approximately 0.25 to 0.5mm. They are typically white or cream-coloured.

The European hornet is the only native hornet species in the UK. The Asian hornet originated in Asia and has spread to various countries, though sightings are rare.
Depending on the species, mites can be revealed in various ways. Dust mites often worsen allergy symptoms, while biting mites leave behind itchy, red rashes. Some mites may congregate in large numbers, causing annoyance rather than direct harm.
Household pets, especially cats and dogs, can develop allergies to mites, particularly dust mites that thrive on shed skin and dander. In some cases, these allergies can be severe and require veterinary treatment. If you suspect your pet is suffering from a mite allergy, consult your veterinarian for proper diagnosis and care.

We work 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will aim to be with you as quickly as we can to solve your pest problem.
Different clues will be left by different types of pests, so signs of bed bug infestation will be bite marks or bloodstains on your sheets and pillowcase, whilst rats or rodents can be identified through droppings or bite marks. We can advise on the scale of the problem and the specific species after any inspection.
While both mites and bed bugs can cause skin irritation, a key difference lies in their feeding habits. Bed bugs exclusively feed on blood, biting their victims at night. Mites primarily consume bodily fluids and dead skin cells, rarely biting humans.
Flea bites typically manifest as small, red bumps, often appearing in groups of three or four.
Mites belong to the arthropod family, specifically the arachnid class, which includes spiders, scorpions, and ticks. More precisely, they are categorised as Chelicerata, characterised by eight legs and specialised mouthparts called chelicerae, which often function as fangs.
To prevent mites, seal any openings in your home’s exterior and deter rodents and birds that can carry them. Also, maintain a clean house by regularly vacuuming and steam cleaning, paying close attention to curtains, where some mites may thrive.
Our pest controllers can look at rat-proofing your property to stop rats from gaining access to your home.
If you notice small bites on your skin, you may have a bedbug infestation. Other signs include small specks of dirt on your sheets. Our pest controllers will be able to conduct a survey and advise you.
Adult carpet beetles seek out egg-laying sites with ample larval food sources, focusing on hidden areas. They prefer locations shielded from direct sunlight, such as along skirting boards or shaded corners.
The time it takes to remove pests will depend on a number of factors, including the type of pest and level of infestation. Some pest removal treatments take longer than others, and our technicians will be able to advise you accordingly.
While vacuuming can eliminate some fleas, it’s generally insufficient to eradicate a full-blown infestation completely.
One of the best ways to prevent fleas is to groom your pets regularly. Regularly inspect their fur for flea eggs or bite marks. If you detect fleas, immediately isolate the affected pet and any potentially contaminated items. For those without pets, thoroughly clean second-hand clothing, carpets, rugs, and fabric items before bringing them into your home.
The cost of our pest controller services will depend on the scale of the problem and the nature of the infestation. After any survey, which is always free of charge, we can provide you with a no-obligation quotation.
Visible adult hornets and their nests are the clearest indicators of an infestation. During nest construction, you may also observe hornets scraping wood from fences, logs, or unpainted structures to gather material.
Our pest control experts hold RSPH (Royal Society for Public health) Level 2 Award in Pest Management.
The main danger associated with hornets is their sting, which, though infrequent, can have fatal consequences.
Like wasps, hornet colonies experience seasonal die-off, with workers and males perishing in autumn or winter. Only fertilised queens endure, overwintering to establish new nests the following spring. They do not die after a sting and can sting multiple times.
No, there are many insects that form an important part of our ecosystem. Our pest controllers will only treat the ones that could be a threat to our customers and their properties.
