This week has been a busy one for our team in particular for two of our technicians who attended a customers property to discover a slightly larger job than anticipated.
The customer had been noticing Rodent activity and was shocked to discover that the rodent had in fact managed to make its way up through the sewer system and chew its way through the soil pipe.
Our technician initially removed the pipe and replaced with a new one whilst also placing bait stations in various locations.
Whilst carrying out the proofing survey our team also discovered that the rodent had made its way up through the cavity wall and into the loft area, contaminating the insulation.
Traps were placed with rapid results and we have been able to return to remove the infected contents, sanitise the area and then replace the insulation.
Jobs like these just show how important it is to carry out a full survey of the property, internally and externally, the customer had no idea initially that the rodents had entered the loft space but now have full peace of mind that every corner has been covered and they are completely rodent free.

Would you know how to identify a Bed Bug infestation within your home?
Bed bugs can be difficult to spot, especially if the infestation is small. They are mainly nocturnal creatures and can lie dormant for many months without feeding.
They tend to harbour within the bed frames, however, they are also likely to hide within other furniture such as crevices in the wardrobes and chest of drawers and along the skirting board.
The initial signs of an infestation can be picked up from bites on your body, normally on the upper half and arms. It is unlikely you would be aware of the actual bite at the time but may notice small blood spots on the bedding the morning after.
In larger infestations the presence of the excrement's may be visible and occasionally the egg shells or skin that has been shed - each time a bug feeds they shed a layer of their skin as they become gorged and expand, these are called Nymph stages and represent the life cycle of the Bed Bug
It is important to treat as quickly as possible as soon as signs are prevalent as infestations can be tricky to treat.
Our prices start from £110+vat per treatment to all bedrooms within the property with a residual chemical which stays active for up to 6 weeks.
If you need assistance in identifying an infestation or to arrange a treatment please call the office on 0800 085 4460 to speak with one of our advisers.
