Flies getting you down? Fed up with swatting them away from your food? Irritated by the constant buzzing? You’re not alone – many householders and businesses suffer from fly problems this time of year. And there’s good reason to be concerned about flies as they are disease transmitters, meaning they are potentially harmful to humans and animals. So not only are flies a nuisance but they can spread diseases such as dysentery and food poisoning. Some types of flies, such as horse flies, can also give a painful bite - ouch! Flies such as the common household fly breed in rotten food, rubbish and manure – which can be a bit of a nightmare for residents of rural Herefordshire which is a prime breeding ground for flies at this time of year when farmers are finishing up their muck spreading. Businesses, particularly those in the food industry such as hotels, restaurants and cafes, really suffer at this time of year because of the nuisance factor (who likes to enjoy their meal with a bunch of flies?) but, more worryingly, the potential health hazards they present. If you’re finding your fly is not such a ‘fly guy’ then call us today for help and advice or book an appointment via our website www.pgmpestcontrol.co.uk/contact There’s lots we can do to help, including treating infestations, supplying electric machines and traps and giving advice and guidance on keeping your fly numbers down. In the meantime, our top five tips for keeping out the flies in your home this summer are: 1. Pick up your pet poo! Flies love to breed in faeces so pick it up and dispose of it 2. Flies are attracted to odours so keep your bins clean, regularly emptied, sealed and away from the house 3. Give your drains a good maintenance and overhaul – make sure they’re working properly and free from blockages 4. Consider installing fly screens on windows and doors and keep them in good repair 5. Make sure you don’t have any other pest problems that might be making the problem worse – flies lay eggs on rotting carcasses so if you’ve any dead rodents or birds or other dead animals on the property, get them removed – or call PGM & Son to do it for you! Get wise to the flies and call PGM & Son Pest Control Hereford to help.

With the wasp season almost upon us, we thought we’d give you a few quick tips for dealing with any wasp problems or wasp nests you encounter this summer. Wasps start to build up their nests in the spring time after the queen wasp has made a nest in which to lay her eggs. After being fed on insects, the grubs grow into worker wasps in a few weeks. Wasp nests start off quite small but they can, and do, grow very large and quite often house up to 5,000 wasps. One nest may produce 3,000 to 8,000 wasps in a year in a nest the size of a beach ball. If wasps can be left alone, that’s great but often wasps are a nuisance and, frequently, a danger to public health. They don’t mind where they make their nests either; we’ve heard of nests in toilet cisterns and even in brass instruments! You’ll usually see them in bushes or under trees, under the eaves or in wall cavities. Sheds and garages are also popular locations for wasp nests! Wasps are also regularly a nuisance for business owners, with customers complaining about wasps interfering with their lunch in the sun. It’s a real problem for business owners who can, and do, lose money over the problem. For people with an allergy, wasps can prove to be fatal. And, even if you aren’t allergic, wasps can still be fatal. Whilst one wasp sting might not cause too much damage, unfortunately, because of the pheromones emitted by a distressed wasp, nearby colony wasps will be sent into a defensive, stinging frenzy. 3,000 wasps attacking is no laughing matter. And don’t stop at thinking about the safety of your children and adults because pets suffer too and are susceptible to wasp stings. Our top five tips for dealing with wasps: 1. Prevention is better than cure - keep your bins clean and closed! Cover windows and doors with screens and tidy up that BBQ and any spilt Pimms as soon as possible!! 2. Check for wasp nests – early action is best 3. Don’t disturb a wasps’ nest – remember a wasp in trouble may call for back up! 4. If you do get stung, act quickly. Seek help from your pharmacist, take advice from the NHS and always call 999 if someone has symptoms of anaphylaxis 5. Call a professional pest controller. Don’t rely on DIY was treatments, they rarely work and can end up causing more problems (fire services have previously reported on serious problems with fire used to get rid of wasp nests) Pest controllers get many calls about wasp nests over the summer months so you won’t be alone. Call PGM today for help and advice for your unwanted wasp nests.

We report regularly on the importance of preventative pest control. Recently, we brought you a story of rat misery in loft spaces and this week we want to highlight the increasing problems of rats on allotments together with the increasing issues arising from people keeping chickens. Check out the video of these rats enjoying the spoils at an allotment. Their brazenness in broad daylight will shock many of you but this isn’t new. And, with increasing numbers of people turning to self-sufficiency and keeping chickens, the problem is growing. Rats on an allotment that has chickens Top Tips for a Rat Free Environment If you're an allotment holder, grow your own fruit and veg at home or keep chickens, it’s worth having a read of this blog, check out the video above and read our top tips for a rat free environment below. Removal of Harbourage (places to live / shelter) Remove all debris, rubbish, old equipment from the plot. Minimise the amount of materials you keep on plot (e.g. timber). Ensure that any structure is housed on hard standing (e.g. concrete; paving slabs) to prevent rodents from burrowing in underneath. For example, shed/s, storage units, greenhouses etc. Removal of Food Sources We recognise that this is a tall order on an allotment particularly! However, there are some steps you can take, including: Not leaving household waste on site, including in compost bins. Harvesting fruit and vegetables promptly. Don’t leave discarded fruit and vegetables around. Turn the contents of your compost bin/s regularly. Keep any food / compost securely (e.g. use bins with solid sides and lids; add a wire mesh lining in the base etc.). Do not feed birds or other animals at your plot. If you have chickens, clear up any left-over food as soon as possible. Store seeds, bulbs, chicken feed etc. in rodent-proof containers. Ensure Good Housekeeping Keep your plot tidy – encourage neighbouring properties to do the same. Visit regularly, make your presence known (e.g. kicking compost bins). Inspect the plot regularly. Thoroughly wash (and peel, as appropriate) the fruit and vegetables you harvest and destroy all vegetables with signs of rodent damage. Note that rats carry risk of disease including Weil’s, Salmonella and Leptospirosis and they urinate everywhere). If you discover you have a rat infestation, make sure you wear disposable gloves when dealing with the problem and harvesting your vegetables. Keep your shed/s / chicken runs / storage unit/s / greenhouse/s etc. secure and in good order; check regularly for signs of rats living underneath. If you are an allotment-holder and find you have a problem, inform your local authority as soon as possible. In Herefordshire, you can find more information at: http://www.herefordcitycouncil.gov.uk/your-city/council-services/allotments/ Our message of the day to all allotment holders Killing rodents can only provide short term control of populations. Sustainable control can only be achieved by reducing the rodent carrying capacity of the environment. The best way to deal with rodent infestations is not to have them in the first place And remember, it’s a criminal offence to cause unnecessary harm to any animal. You could be fined or imprisoned if you kill non-target species when putting down poison or traps. You should always seek professional pest control advice.

If you watched the item on watchdog this week about the firm in Essex, which purports to be a local firm, you’ll probably have been as outraged as we were. Watchdog reported that the company buys local telephone numbers and advertises in different post code areas to give consumers the impression that they are in fact a local firm. Check out the programme yourself: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0b3l9qc/watchdog-series-39-episode-5# This particular outfit sets itself up to offer trade services, like plumbers, electricians, pest controllers etc. however, it is simply a shell firm which uses advertising power and tricks such as buying up local ‘phone numbers to attract business from consumers who need essential jobs carried out ‘round the house. This gives the impression to an individual that they are dealing with a local firm but the reality is far from this and the programme highlighted the problems encountered by consumers. Like you, we think practices such as this should be outlawed. Unscrupulous firms like the one in the programme should be banned from advertising in this way. What’s the solution we hear you say? The solution is simple; use genuine, local businesses. The benefits to the customer, the local business and the wider community are many, for example: * The local business or, more likely sole trader, gets paid a realistic price for the job they are doing. * By dealing with the local firm directly you will be able to manage your appointment much better – no going back and forth with a middle man. * Local firms promote locate community ties and funds into the community. * Local businesses know the issues you face – they live in the same communities with you, face the same problems and want to do a good job for you. * The traders get paid for the work they do – remember they still have families to feed! * You get peace of mind – local small businesses and sole traders still have to be fully qualified in their field and carry the appropriate licences and insurances. * Often, local businesses can recommend other local trusted traders. So no need for you to spend hours searching online or reading bogus reviews. Our message of the day: Local firms and sole traders value your business. They want word of mouth business because it reduces the advertising costs for them (that these unscrupulous firms exploit) – so they will want to do a good job for you and make sure you are a satisfied customer.
