Spring is well and truly here. With the weather warming up, our pest control enquiries are rising. Now is the time to get these pest problems under control before they start breeding. It’s far easier to control a small pest problem then when they get out of control. At the moment the two main pest problems we are asked to treat are for ants and cockroaches. Ants can be unsightly, as well as a nuisance. Controlling ants is best done in a two pronged attack. The first step is to find the nest and to thoroughly apply treatments to eradicate the whole nest. The next step is to apply a barrier to repel any further ant activity.

Cockroaches love the warmer weather. They love hot, humid areas and are often found in places like under the kitchen sink and around the dishwasher. These places offer protection, moisture, and warmth. These three things help cockroaches breed faster than you can say – oh no we have cockroaches.
