When the new kit arrives... 😂

Gareth: "I've purchased an item to assist with insect identification."

Matt: "I've got some similar!"

We're not entirely convinced these improve insect identification...
..but they definitely improve morale. 🤣

(For the record, our technicians do know what they're looking at, even without the comedy glasses.)

Disclaimer: No pest technicians were taken seriously during the making of this post. 😆

Rats don’t just appear inside buildings.
They follow routes.
Drainage systems, structural gaps and hidden access points can all provide entry, especially in older or adapted buildings.
That is why identifying how they are getting in is just as important as treating the activity.

Removing a honey bee colony isn’t always straightforward.
In some cases, it can involve:
• Accessing wall cavities or roof spaces
• Careful planning and controlled removal
• Follow-up work to prevent re-entry
That’s why every situation is assessed properly before any work begins.
iX5 Pest Control will always explain the options clearly before proceeding.

Rodent activity is expected in rural environments.
Fields, hedgerows and natural food sources create constant external pressure, especially around barns and food premises.
The goal is not to eliminate that environment. It is to stop that activity entering the building.
That is where a well-designed monitoring and control system makes the difference.

Seen a swarm and thinking it will just move on?
It will do, but where to is the question.
If a swarm settles near your home, there’s a risk it could move into your roof, chimney or walls, where removal becomes far more complex.
Early action makes a big difference.
If you’ve spotted a swarm, here’s what to do:

Rodent control should not create new risks.
On this rural food site, the requirement was clear. Keep the premises pest-free without using toxic rodenticides that could impact wildlife, products or the surrounding environment.
The solution was a fully non-toxic, monitored control programme designed to protect everything on site.

Seeing signs of rats is rarely a small issue.
Rats are cautious and tend to stay hidden, which means visible activity often points to an established problem rather than a one-off sighting.
If something doesn’t feel right, it’s worth taking seriously.

Not all woodworm cases require treatment.
In some situations, the infestation may already be historic and no longer active.
