A tiny creature, that when it reaches maturity, looks like a flat lentil on your bed sheet. Research suggests that bedbugs are becoming more 'common', possibly through the trend for international travel. Opportunistic, they catch on to clothing, bags and other accessories and make the journey home with you in order to make their new home in the best place for them - it's warm, dry and safe, with a food supply on a regular, nightly basis: YOU! Rather than wait and succumb to the perceived embarrassment of the problem, give us a call as soon as possible for an expert, professional Pest Control Company that understands the true nature of bed bug infestations.

There is a common misconception - from the name in all likelihood - that woodworm is actually a worm when, in fact, it is a beetle. All 4 of these species will invade and eat wooden items of furniture and the like and, when the larvae of these woof-boring beetles emerge into adulthood, they will leave. Your woodwork - skirting boards, furniture etc. - could be harbouring woodworm without you knowing it. Wood can be 'infected' with the eggs or larvae without it being noticed by you and woodworm infestations, in some cases, are not discovered for many years.

If scientists are correct, then moth infestation in homes and properties could be on the increase. It can be difficult to know if you have a problem with moths, as well as knowing what treatments are effective. Some pest control issues and infestations pose a danger to our health; flies or wasps, for example, can present a significant danger, as well as being a nuisance, and need to be dealt with quickly. Moths, on the other hand, are considered a nuisance but do not pose any danger to your health; they do not bite or sting, and neither do they carry disease.

Ants are fascinating creatures that have been around for thousands of years. Although unsightly and worrying when you detect hundreds (or thousands!) of them running along door and window frames in and around your home, unlike other insects, they do not carry disease and, only a few rare species deliver a nasty bite or sting - and these are rare in the UK. Ants are thought to be related to the wasp, having evolved from it some 130 million years ago. There are many species of ants to be found across the world but the majority of ants like one thing: warmth.
