read morePESTUK are able to offer a camera survey. The specialist camera we use is extremely high quality and is designed to identify the holes accessed by rats in pipes beneath houses. It is the type of camera used by drain companies and is capable of taking photographs and videos of defects. Particularly in situations where a house has an extension, utilities are moved around, or new toilets are installed, this camera is very useful at identifying problems. Usually a camera survey is necessary if a house has had intermittent rat problems for a very long time, but there are no visible entry points from outside the house, this is particularly common in areas like Reading, West London and in Guildford, where there are many very old houses that have been altered a lot over the years.

Contaminated insulation can cause serious health hazards for you and your family so we recommend that this is carried out after a treatment. Rodents can cause damage to insulation as well resulting in the insulation not functioning properly. At PEST UK we offer a service to remove this insulation and to install fresh new insulation. We will firstly take out of the loft all of the insulation and dispose of it in a safe professional manner.

We are receiving an increasing number of calls relating to this problem. The problems that nesting birds cause include smells, a build up of droppings which can block gutters and drains, noise and general nuisance. Pigeon droppings also carry Psittacosis which is carried in the dust of dried pigeon droppings. It may take time but these problems with birds and solar panels will increase as birds learn this behaviour and pass it down to their offspring.

We use a specialist disinfectant that can be used in offices, schools and private homes to help in a situation where the treating of surfaces against airborne pathogens is needed. In domestic & commercial properties windows and doors should remain closed, and we do recommend that treated areas are sealed for 24 hours after treatment (not essential but advisable for optimal results).

Wasps will travel long distances for food and water sources so dealing with nests nearby (if they can be found) may not cure the problem. We sell and instal Wasp & Fly traps at PEST UK. Please phone 0330 1002811 (local rate) for details. Late July to October (may be early November) are the months where wasp trapping is beneficial. Wasps cause more of a general nuisance in late Summer & Autumn than the rest of the year.

Like the new compact, the compact circline has been made to commercial standards yet economically priced. There are two models within this range FUSION 2 and FUSION 4. It is the ideal alternative to conventional high voltage machines. They have a unique ‘thru board light technology' all the lamps can be seen from both sides of the machine, thus giving maximum attraction to flying insects.
