🐝 DEAD WASP NEST? SHOULD YOU REMOVE IT? 🐝

Once the wasps have gone, you might think the job is done… but is it? 🤔

An old wasp nest is made from papery wood fibres, so it doesn’t automatically become a pest problem. However, nests can contain dead wasps, insect remains and debris that may attract scavenging insects, depending on the conditions and location.

🪲 Why consider removing an old nest?

✅ Removes accumulated dead insects and debris.
✅ Reduces the chance of attracting scavenging insects in suitable conditions.
✅ Allows the area to be inspected for other pest activity.
✅ Gives you peace of mind that the nest is no longer active.

🐝 Will other wasps move into the old nest?

No. Wasps don’t normally reuse an old nest, although a new queen may establish a new colony nearby if the location is suitable.

Our advice? If an old nest is accessible and in a loft or roof void, removal can be worthwhile — particularly if there’s a build-up of debris. Not every nest needs removing, but it’s worth assessing the situation properly.

🐀 RATS GETTING INTO YOUR PROPERTY THROUGH THE DRAINS? 🚨

Rats running around your home or business? The problem might be coming from somewhere you can’t see… underground! 👀

Damaged drains, cracked pipes, displaced joints or missing non-return valves can provide rats with a direct route into your property.

🔍 Our drain inspections can help identify the problem, using CCTV drain surveys to locate defects, entry points and potential routes rats are using to gain access.

🕊️ PIGEON FAECES — MORE THAN JUST A MESS! ⚠️

Pigeon droppings can build up quickly on roofs, balconies, ledges, walkways and other areas. They can be unpleasant, create odours, damage surfaces and potentially pose health risks when dried droppings are disturbed and contaminated dust becomes airborne.

🦠 Why professional removal is important:
• Pigeon faeces can contain bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms.
• Dried droppings can create contaminated dust when disturbed.
• Accumulated waste can attract other pests.
• Droppings can damage buildings and surfaces over time.

🧤 How we deal with it:

At Eliminate Pest Control, we assess the affected area before starting and use appropriate PPE and controlled cleaning methods. We carefully remove the waste, clean and disinfect the affected area, and take steps to help reduce the risk of further contamination.

🐀 Don’t forget the pest control!

If pigeons or other pests keep returning, cleaning alone may not solve the problem. We can also provide professional pest management and preventative solutions to help keep your property clean and protected.

🐭 FIELD MICE — IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT PUTTING BAIT DOWN

Field mice can become a nuisance when they enter buildings, especially as the weather gets colder. But responsible pest control is about more than simply using poison.

Where rodenticide is necessary, the correct bait and active ingredient must be carefully considered to minimise risks to wildlife, including birds of prey and other mammals.

🐦 Our approach is different.

Where possible, we focus on monitoring, identifying entry points and using proofing and exclusion to prevent mice from getting back inside.

Because the best pest control isn’t always about killing the pest — sometimes it’s about stopping it getting in.

🐝 Flies in the loft? You might have more than just a fly problem…

This week we treated a loft space where cluster flies, swarming flies and wasps had all decided to take up residence!

For this type of infestation, we used a professional smoke treatment, allowing us to treat the difficult-to-reach areas of the loft space and target the insects where they were hiding.

Cluster flies and swarming flies can quickly become a nuisance, particularly when they find their way into lofts and roof spaces. Wasps can also establish nests in areas that are difficult to access safely.

If you’ve got unwanted guests buzzing around your loft, don’t wait for them to become a bigger problem.

A little perk of the job this week… 🐂

We were lucky enough to spend some time around these beautiful Highland cattle while carrying out our ongoing pest prevention monitoring on a private rural estate.

We use a non-toxic monitoring system as part of our preventative approach, and where rodent activity does occur, we use humane trapping methods. This is particularly important in rural environments, helping to minimise the risk of secondary poisoning to non-target species and wildlife.

Pest control doesn’t always mean reaching for poison — sometimes it’s about prevention, monitoring and using the right method for the environment.

And occasionally, you get to meet some rather impressive four-legged residents along the way! 🐂😊

🐀 RATS COMING INTO YOUR PROPERTY THROUGH THE DRAINS? 🚽

Rats don’t always come in through obvious holes in walls or floors. Damaged drains, breached manholes and hidden ingress points can provide the perfect route for rodents to enter your property.

At Eliminate Pest Control, we don’t just treat the rats and hope they disappear.

✅ Rat treatment and removal
✅ Identify drain-related entry points
✅ Repair and proof damaged areas
✅ Install non-return valves where required
✅ Help prevent rats from re-entering your property

If rats are getting in through your drainage system, the source of the problem needs to be dealt with — not just the rats themselves.

We work in conjunction with PDS Pest Control to help identify and deal with drainage issues, giving you a complete solution from rat treatment through to proofing and prevention.

🐀 Stop the entry. Stop the problem.

🐀 Rats causing damage inside the home!

These rats had gained entry into the property and were causing serious damage, including gnawing through doors and skirting boards.

Another reminder that rats can cause far more than just a nuisance — early detection and professional pest control can prevent costly damage. 🏠🔧
