Hearing noises in the loft can be very unsettling, even enough for you to avoid going up to see what pests you may have! This can be a major problem when it comes to lofts and attics. Because we rarely visit them, we often don’t realise there’s a problem before it’s too late. A window may be poorly sealed, allowing a mouse to slip in through a crack, or a missing tile may have given way to a small hole in your roof, an entry point that roof rats especially like to exploit. One of the best ways to limit unwanted intrusions by insects, rodents, birds, squirrels and other pests is to deny them entry - a procedure known as pest proofing. Many pests seek refuge in homes and other buildings in response to changes in weather, such as extended periods of rain or drought, or the onset of cooler temperatures in autumn. Taking steps to block their entry before they end up inside can greatly reduce the chances of future sightings. Five Most Common Loft Pests Mice Rats Squirrels Wasps Birds Don’t run the risk of bad odours, disease, or electrical hazards. If you think any of these pests may have infested your loft space, reach out to a professional immediately to have them removed. Noises in the Loft? If you’re hearing noises in the loft and find signs of habitation like droppings, nesting, or damage caused by gnawing, you might just be dealing with loft pests. Loft spaces are the ideal environment for rodents They can damage stored items by gnawing and could even chew through your electric cabling. They leave droppings and other animal matter, which make your loft space the ideal breeding ground for insects and diseases. When rodents need to be taken out of your home, our expert pest controller acts in accordance with the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU); we’re dedicated to protecting people, pets and the planet. We are contentious about the types of products we use and we stand by them. Looking for a pest removal service in Hereford or Worcester? Check out our loft pest control and clearance services to see what we have to offer. Pest Proof Your Home Did you know that mice can squeeze through a hole the size of the end of a biro? Rats can push themselves through a hole no bigger than a fifty pence. This means that just about any hole in your roof or attic needs to be fixed immediately. If there’s a way to exploit an entrance to your home, rodents will certainly find a way, and then you’ll be sure to see signs of a rodent infestation before too long. Sometimes there is more than one entry point and only by proofing many different areas will a solution be reached. Many homes are repeat targets for rodent and other pest infestations. Rodents can cause damage to the home, spoil food and spread disease. The home owners find themselves baiting and trapping rodents year after year in a never ending cycle. This usually happens because the home owners are relying on getting rid of a rat infestation or a mouse infestation instead of preventing one. Rodent infestations can be prevented by rodent proofing your home. At PGM & SON we provide a loft clearance and a pest proofing service to ensure your loft space is pest free. As part of our loft clearance and pest proofing service our technician will help you to ensure that your home remains pest free with tips and helpful advice. Let us clear your loft space so you can utilise the space. Call PGM & Son Loft Clearance Herefordshire, Worcestershire & Gloucestershire on 01981 241334 / 07964 370480 for advice and guidance.

Why are some animals associated with Halloween and pest control? Rats have been long feared. Known to infest abandoned, filthy, run-down places rats were associated with plagues and epidemics in times gone by. In fact, rats were blamed for the Black Death plague across Europe in the 14th and 17th centuries although more recent studies suggest that they might not have been responsible after all. Do Rats carry diseases? Rats carry diseases, some-times very serious and potentially fatal diseases so naturally people are fearful of the rat. Check out our popular Pest Top Trumps series, this month we’ve a Rat Trumps card for you! However, in modern times rats continue to cause problems and rats are up there with wasps as the UK’s most nuisance pest. Experiencing a rat problem in Hereford? Need rat control in Worcester?

Got Bed Bugs? We’ve Got It Covered! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The history of bed bugs dates back thousands of years! The Cimex lectularius is the most common type of bed bug found in the UK. After WWII, there was a reported increase in bed bugs. The increase in their population was attributed to the heating systems used in homes which created warm living conditions for them to thrive in. Bed Bugs are small, oval, brownish insects that feed on the blood of human hosts. Adult bed bugs have flat bodies about the size of an apple seed. After feeding, however, their bodies swell and are a reddish colour. Bed bugs do not fly, but they can move quickly over floors, walls, and ceilings. Bed Bugs | National Geographic Video ‘’Smelling a musty odour in your bedroom could mean you have a bed bug infestation’’ Signs that you may have bed bugs include: Blood stains on your sheets or pillowcases. Dark or rusty spots of bed bug excrement on sheets and mattresses, bed clothes, and walls. Bed bug faecal spots, egg shells, or shed skins in areas where bedbugs hide. An offensive, musty odour from the bugs' scent glands. Bites on your body - When bed bugs bite, you often see clusters of bites. Each cluster usually contains 3 to 5 bites that appear in a zigzag pattern. Places in your home where bed bugs live are: Your mattress The box spring of your bed Walls near your bed or other furniture Bedside tables Headboards and bed frames Wardrobes Sheets Curtains and carpets Luggage and clothing Sofas, armchairs or other furniture where you spend time How did I get bed bugs in the first place? Bed bugs come in as stowaways in luggage, furniture, clothing, pillows, boxes, and more when these are moved between properties. Moving won’t solve the problem, since bed bugs can travel and they lie dormant in properties to wait for a human host. So, although it sounds strange, when treating bed bugs, it’s best not to sleep away from home. Used furniture, particularly bed frames and mattresses, are prone to harbour bed bugs. Watch out for items sold on second-hand sites or at car boot sales! Because they survive for many months without food, bed bugs could already be present in clean, vacated properties meaning that there could be a problem when you move into a new home. What should everyone know about bed bugs? YOU CAN STOP THEIR SPREAD Adults are ¼”, reddish-brown and flat. You can see them without magnification but early stages of bed bugs (nymphs) are tiny and very hard to detect with the human eye. They like to hide in cracks and crevices. Inspect sleeping areas—if you find a bed bug, STOP looking and contact a professional. Do-it-yourself pest control is often not successful. However, you can take steps to minimize your risk of having bed bugs such as washing and tumble-drying items on a hot setting, dry cleaning and deep freezing items. Live bugs or eggs may drop off while moving things from one place to another—items with bed bugs should be sealed in a bag before moving them. Check second-hand purchases carefully for bed bugs. Tell your friends! Not warning others robs them of the chance to avoid bringing bed bugs into their homes and businesses. Having bed bugs don’t mean you have a dirty property or unhygienic practices – it’s just bad luck! How to get rid of bedbugs? Bed bugs can be very difficult to treat. Bed bugs can die at very high or very low temperatures, or they can be treated by an insecticide with industrial strength. DIY bed bug treatments often don’t have the desired effects. If you suspect an active infestation book a professional bed bug treatment to confirm you have a problem and to carry out effective treatment for you. Interesting Bed bug Facts! According to the National Pest Management Association, almost all (97 percent) pest professionals have treated bed bugs in the past year. A majority of them say that overall bed bug service work and the prevalence of these pests are increasing. Bed bugs may be easily confused with other pests; many pest control professionals were initially contacted about a different type of pest before identifying them as bed bugs. For example, pest controllers were often contacted about fleas and cockroaches only to discover the issue was bed bugs. More than half of pest control professionals noted that they receive the most bed bug complaints during the summer, as increased travel during this time of the year may help spread bed bugs from holiday destinations to homes and also to residential properties as students return from universities and colleges. However, with global travel now more wide-spread, bed bugs are often encountered year-round. Bites are the most commonly reported sign of an infestation and more than half of people reach out for treatment after discovering bites and welts on their bodies. Although some people immediately develop a skin reaction to bites, others may take two to three days before showing obvious symptoms or any symptoms at all, meaning that people could be unaware of a bed bug problem until a full-blown infestation has taken root. Typically found in sofas and bed frames, bed bugs can also be found in some of the most unexpected places, including stuffed toys, wheelchairs, aeroplanes, school buses, handbags and even inside bedside lamps. Many pest professionals agree that this bloodsucking pest is the most difficult pest to control. If an infestation is suspected, the British Pest Control Association and National Pest Technicians’ Association A recommend contacting a fully qualified, professional pest professional preferably a member of either trade body (NPTA or BPCA). When working with a qualified professional, follow their advice to ensure that your bedbug treatment is more effective.

More Information on Bedbugs Bites may cause an allergic reaction but they are not a disease carrier. Bedbugs are commonly confused with a flea infestation. Correct identification is critical as treatment will vary from treatment for fleas. Depending on the level of infestation, 1-2 treatments may be required. Control Measures for Bedbugs Treatment of all harbourages must take place; bedding, wall joints, skirting boards, furniture, structure of building and possibly roof voids Removing clutter which makes it easier to spot bedbugs Washing and drying bed clothes and bed linen on the highest temperatures permitted Making sure you closely inspect any second hand furniture brought into the premises Inspecting premises after relevant events such as overnight guests in hotels Catching bedbugs early will reduce the possibility of a costly treatment.

Introducing The Ant! This week we are excited to carry on with our series of "Pest Trumps" at PGM & SON Pest Control Services with The Ant. Each file is available for free download, and you may use them at work to help identify pests for the protection of your workers and customers. The PGM "Pest Control Trumps" set of information cards were created to assist with pest-related issues in the UK and to ensure the public are armed with the correct information about each pest we highlight in our pest trump series. By proactively promoting an integrated pest management approach, we can protect people and food as well as wildlife and the environment. We all have an important part to play in educating the public and business that prevention is better than cure. At PGM & SON we know stewardship and sustainability are critical both to the survival of the pest control industry and to our planet. Fact File These highly organised and social insects are noticeable by their head, thorax and abdomen. With narrow waists and a sharp elbow joint in their antennae, the foraging worker ants march into buildings to search for food to take back to the nest to feed their larvae and queen. DID YOU KNOW? Flying ants are reproductive males and females who have a nuptial swarming flight for a few days usually in July and August. STRENGTH ~ 8 What can we say?! If anyone has ever seen a tiny army of ants on the march, they can’t fail to be impressed. These minute insects have strength in numbers and are fascinating to watch. BREEDING ~ 8 Flying ants' mate in flight after which the female will find a nest for the winter. She then lays her eggs the following spring to start a new colony. The ability to survive through the winter to start a new colony in the spring seems like a massive feat to us for such a tiny insect! The average lifespan of an ant can be anything from several weeks to several years. NUISANCE FACTOR ~ 10 Although impressive in their skills and teamwork, ants are a major nuisance factor. They love sweet foods and will forage in kitchens and just about anywhere to find food which they can take back to their nest. The problem with an ant is that they march across most surfaces to find and transport their food including other animal faeces, dirt, grime and bacteria. The ant is a major disease transmitter for this reason. Ants are also very hard to control due to their size, ability to access buildings through miniscule holes and cracks, build inaccessible nests and their sheer numbers. AGILIGTY ~ 8 Ants make complex and vast nests with multiple inaccessible entry points. In the garden, ant nests occupy a much larger volume of soil than the surface excavations might suggest. ENVIRONMENTAL ~ 7 The common ant is an important insect and can be found in pretty much every garden across the UK. They are an important part of biodiversity. Ants feed on other invertebrates including other ants. They also collect sweet liquid known as honeydew from aphids and sap-feeding insects. They do little damage to plants although they can disturb the soil around the roots to use for nests. Superpower Teamwork! Overall PGM Rating 7/10 For an ant, it’s all about great teamwork. They may be tiny insects, but they are mighty team players! Ants can be a major nuisance in a home or business, and they are disease carriers, so they score low on both points. However, in the garden, ants are an important part of biodiversity and win extra points for this. They are also fascinating insects with impressive ability given their small size.
