Autumn is the time of year when Cluster flies (Polleniarudis) can become a problem. They tend to favour rural properties and will swarm to the upper rooms and roof spaces, looking to hibernate over winter. There is little you can do to stop these flies getting in - This video shows the aftermath after fumigating a roof space. If you're experiencing this then give RRL Pest Solutions a call.

Squirrels... Yes they're cute! But when they get into your loft space and obliterate your wiring, potentially causing a fire risk then they need to be controlled. I'm getting quite a few call outs now that we're hitting autumn. Everything I do is humane - if you're experiencing grey squirrel issues then give me a call.

Feral pigeon poo... Not everyone's cup of tea... ☠️ 💩

Failed bird proofing had led to a number these birds roosting above this customers balcony and leaving a right old mess below!

I know this area of Eastbourne is problematic with these pest birds as I've attended a few properties in this area over the past few months.

It was decided to undertake a dry clean as this apartment was on the top floor and I didn't want to contaminate the properties below - to do this entailed the following:

* Using an industrial hoover to remove the majority of the bird fouling.
* Scrubbing the decking with a wire brush and hoover to remove any stubborn remnants.
* Wiping down the hand rail, glass work, windows and weather boarding with biocidal wipes.
* Finally using a biocidal spray over all contaminated areas to remove any harmful pathogens.

There is some staining left on the decking but this is being replaced with composite decking shortly. The customer was pleased with the outcome - I did run slightly over the time I allowed for, but really just wanted to make sure the job was done properly.

I undertake environmental cleans to both domestic and commercial properties. If you have any questions regarding specialist cleaning or would like a quotation, then please contact me.

Recent local domestic rat job.

The customer had found a rat in her property, it had gnawed the corner away from one of the kickboards in her kitchen and had also gnawed a hole through the back of one of the kitchen units to access the food waste bin. The customer had called out a pest control contractor who had simply plugged the hole in the kickboard with wire wool and walked away. 🤦

I removed all the kickboards and found that they were accessing the kitchen via a soil pipe, the expanding foam surrounding the soil pipe had been gnawed away allowing rats easy access to the property.

With very limited space to work in, I managed to dig out all the expanding foam and seal the soil pipe surround with rodent excluder wire wool, traps were placed under the kitchen units and a follow up visit booked.

Investigation and problem solving is part of what RRL Pest Solutions do to stop the rodent problem returning.

The colder months are fast approaching and our little furry friends will be looking for warmer environments!

If you experience any unwanted visitors (of the rodent kind!) then give me a call.

I've had a couple of these call outs this season, where a badger has pre dug out half of a wasp nest. I'm thinking this one gave up in the end!

Carpet Moth:

I'm currently busy treating these pests, as with most insects they thrive in warmer conditions.

Today I treated 4 rooms within a beautiful rural property, the high quality (natural fibre) carpet was treated with a residual water based insecticide - 15 litres was applied in total. This insecticide is approved to use within residential dwellings and once dry is 100% safe to walk on - Moth lures were placed throughout the ground floor for on going monitoring.

A follow up visit will be carried out in 2-3 weeks, this will make sure the infestation is completely eradicated.

If you're experiencing textile moth issues then call RRL Pest Solutions.
