Pest control Caterham FAQs

What are mites?

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.

How long does pest control take?

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.

Are cats and dogs allergic to mites?

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.

Where do carpet beetles lay their eggs?

Carpet beetle eggs are typically deposited within homes, often in concealed areas such as corners and along the edges of carpets by skirting boards.

What are the signs of a hornet infestation?

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.

Do you offer pest surveys?

Yes, our technicians can provide consultations and surveys to ascertain the best pest control methods.

What qualifications do you have?

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).

When do hornets die?

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.

There are DIY treatments available, but many are ineffective. Our pest controllers will vastly increase the chances of a successful treatment.

What are the differences between a bed bug and a mite infestation?

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.
