🚧 Another roof space treatment completed by Battle Bugs Pest Control 🪳🐜

The customer recently extended an extra bedroom during a reroofing project and started noticing cockroach and ant activity inside the roof area. Construction and reroofing work can often disturb hidden pest nesting sites, pushing pests into living spaces.

We carried out a targeted treatment through the roof cavity and affected areas to help eliminate current activity and prevent further infestation before the walls and roof were fully closed in.

Early intervention during renovations can save a lot of trouble later on 👌

If you’re renovating, extending or reroofing your property and notice pest activity it’s the perfect time to treat the area before everything is sealed up.

Did you know that cockroaches can survive for one month without food? However, they can only survive for one week without water, which is why they are often found in bathrooms and kitchens or are attracted to moist sinks at night.

A cockroach can lay up to 300 eggs over its short lifetime. Its no wonder something that starts off as a few cockroaches can quickly turn into a major infestation. Send us a message today and get the problem solved.

That tiny hole in the ground might not be harmless ⚠️🐝

Most people see a small hole in the lawn and assume it’s ants or an old burrow. But if it’s ground-nesting wasps (like yellowjackets), getting too close can trigger a swarm within seconds.

• One sting releases a chemical signal that calls in more wasps
• They can come out fast, often from multiple hidden entrances
• Risk is highest in late summer when colonies are at their peak
• Common nesting spots: dry soil, lawns, under patios, old burrows

🌿 What to do:
• Watch from a distance for activity
• Keep kids and pets away
• Avoid mowing or disturbing the area
• Don’t pour water into the hole
• Call Pest control if it’s in a busy spot

What makes it dangerous?
You can’t see the nest… but they can definitely sense you ⚠️

🐝 Wasp Removal in Action
Battle Bugs Pest Control

Today’s job turned out to be quite intense. We discovered multiple wasp harbourage sites around the property. Due to the distance between each nest and increasing wasp aggression, we safely recorded couple of the areas.

As soon as the nests were disturbed, the wasps became highly defensive. A clear sign of an active and well-established infestation. Situations like this highlight how important it is to handle wasp activity professionally and with the right protective equipment.

✅ Multiple harbourage points identified
✅ Targeted treatment carried out
✅ Risk managed safely despite aggressive behaviour

If you’re noticing increased wasp activity around your home or business, don’t wait until it escalates.
