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.
Do not disturb hornet nests, and if you encounter hornets, calmly retreat. Seek immediate medical attention if stung, particularly if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction.
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.
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.
The main danger associated with hornets is their sting, which, though infrequent, can have fatal consequences.
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.
Our pest controllers can look at rat-proofing your property to stop rats from gaining access to your home.
Our team can provide a pest survey to identify the pest and provide advice about the best treatments.

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.
Yes, our technicians can provide consultations and surveys to ascertain the best pest control methods.
There are many ways that pests can access your property. Insects such as ants and even mice can get through small cracks and crevices looking for food, and rats may live in your drainage system. Before completing any treatment, our pest controllers will inspect your property and pinpoint problem areas that might need to be sealed or further investigation.
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.

Yes, adult carpet beetles can fly, enabling them to enter homes through open windows, which are often the initial entry point. This ability to fly means they can be a real nuisance and disperse widely throughout a property.

Carpet beetle eggs are typically deposited within homes, often in concealed areas such as corners and along the edges of carpets by skirting boards.
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.
Flea bites typically manifest as small, red bumps, often appearing in groups of three or four.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, we provide all commercial pest control and prevention services. We work across all commercial sectors, including offices, hospitals, schools, warehouses, factories, and other locations.
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 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.
Our team of pest controllers are qualified to RSPH (Royal Society of Public Health) Level Two. We are also members of the BPCA (British Pest Control Association).
The carpet beetle’s life cycle varies. Eggs hatch into hairy larvae in one to four weeks, which then pupate for two to three weeks before reaching adulthood. Adults live for three to four weeks.
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.
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.
Yes, we use the most advanced treatments that are suitable for use in families with children and pets. We normally advise leaving the house whilst any treatment is being completed for a couple of hours.

There are many ways you can prevent pests from entering your property, and we can offer advice and guidance. General advice includes blocking off entrance points, practising good hygiene, and other routine pest control methods.
While vacuuming can eliminate some fleas, it’s generally insufficient to eradicate a full-blown infestation completely.
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.
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.
