⚠️ UK Homeowners: Heads up before you dig out your summer gear! 🐝

Pest control experts have issued an urgent warning after reporting a massive 61% spike in wasp activity compared to this time last year. With queen wasps coming out of hibernation to build nests, they are turning up in some very unexpected places. Technicians have already found them hiding inside Wellington boots, garden furniture, handbags, and even children's outdoor toys!

A quick word of warning: It can be tempting to search for a quick DIY "hack" on TikTok or Facebook to get rid of them, but experts warn this could be dangerous.

Early spring nests grow fast, and disturbing them can trigger aggressive swarms.
Don't take the risk with your family's safety.

While most people think of wasp nests forming in trees, Rentokil's technicians warn that they can actually form in everything from garden furniture to boots.

Rats have incredibly sensitive hearing and can detect sounds at frequencies far beyond the human range.

This heightened sense helps them stay alert to danger, communicate with one another, and navigate their surroundings, making them highly adaptable pests in both residential and commercial environments.

Early detection and proactive pest management are essential to preventing infestations before they grow.

Our Rentokil Pest Control team were delighted to support Riverside Housing at their recent community pamper day hosted by Hugh Baird College!

We sponsored the event's refreshments, which were carefully prepared by the college's students, and brought along our famous ‘Pestaurant’ to serve up some unique edible insect specialities that were a huge hit with students and customers alike.

We are incredibly proud of our local team for living our values, engaging so warmly with the community, and helping to boost the confidence and wellbeing of Riverside's customers.
