Adult bedbugs are reddish-brown, flattened, oval, and wingless. Bedbugs have microscopic hairs that give them a banded appearance. A common misconception is that they are not visible to the naked eye. Adults grow to 4-5 mm in length and 1.5-3 mm wide. Newly hatched bedbugs (known as nymphs) are translucent, lighter in colour and become browner as they moult and reach maturity. The main way to tell if you have bed bugs in your home is to check daily for any bites that you or any family members may have received overnight.
Adult workers of the common wasp measure about 12 mm to 17 mm from head to abdomen, whereas the queen is about 20 mm long. It has alternating colours of black and yellow. If you are experiencing high numbers of wasps in your property it is likely that there is a wasp nest nearby. Wasps often build their nests in your loft, wall cavities, roof spaces, garden sheds or under the eaves of buildings. A single nest may contain thousands of wasps which can swarm and attack if disturbed or provoked. If the location of a wasps nest is likely to put people at risk, then the nest should be destroyed.

Generally speaking, Red Squirrels are not a pest whereas the Grey definitely is, so the following information concentrates on the Grey Squirrel. Gnawing - any material in your loft space is likely to be gnawed including electrical wiring.
