Introducing The Rat! This week we are excited to carry on with our series of "Pest Trumps" at PGM & SON Pest Control Services with The Rat . 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. THE RAT - FACTS 101 FACT FILE Aside from the wasp, probably the most well-known pest in the UK – the Rat! There are two main rat species in the UK, the most common is Rattus Norvegicus also known as the brown rat. The other is Rattus Rattus which is commonly known as the black rat or ship rat although these are now rarely seen in the UK. Rats are disease carriers and spreaders and so considered a public health risk. DID YOU KNOW Historically, the harsh winter climate in the UK was a natural way of culling the rodent population but with milder climates the rat population in the UK has grown. There are an estimated 150 million rats in the UK so if you haven’t seen one, you’re in the minority. If you own a property, you have a legal obligation to keep premises rodent free, or if there is a threat to health or property, to report it to the local authority. A RATS STRENGTH - 9 The rat’s greatest strength is in their teeth. They can gnaw through just about anything – wood, glass, metal, bone – you name it they can chew it! This means they can cause significant damage to property with their gnawing which can result in structural damage and other significant issues such as fire and flood risk when they chew through electrical cables and pipes. BREEDING OF RATS - 10 Rats score very highly in the breeding category. In fact, the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) awards them a gold medal when it comes to breeding! A female rat can reproduce every 6 weeks and her litters can produce 6-8 babies. Each part of the cycle takes an average of 21 days. A rat can become pregnant very quickly after giving birth so a rat infestation can very rapidly grow out of control. New-borns sexually mature after just 5 weeks when they can also start to produce babies. This means that a pair of brown rats could produce up to 200 babies and 2,000 descendants in just one year or more! NUISANCE FACTOR OF RATS - 10 Rats are a major nuisance both in the house, business premises and garden. They burrow, gnaw, urinate, defecate, nest and generally make a mess. Their urine also produces a very nasty strong, distinctive smell which isn’t easy to get rid of. More than being a nuisance, rats carry and spread serious disease to humans such as Weil’s disease, Salmonella and Listeria. They can also cause significant structural damage to property. All things considered; the rat is up there as one of the UK’s most problematic pests. AGILITY OF RATS - 9 Rats are also agile. Gardeners and allotment holders often report sightings of rats climbing nimbly up bird tables to reach food. They also shimmy up drainpipes and scurry through sewers and squeeze through small holes to get into places. They are good swimmers too. If the rat was entering the Olympics, it would be up for a silver medal in the triathlon! ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS OF THE RAT POPULATION - 2 Although not as essential as other pests we’ve reviewed in this series, nevertheless rats are an important part of balancing our ecosystem. They provide a food source for other predatory animals. Also, they are opportunistic scavengers and will happily clear up the food we throw away. RATS SUPERPOWER - Highly Advanced Rats are highly adaptable and developed. They have a well-developed sense of smell and touch and an acute sense of hearing, frequently using ultrasound to communicate. They are neophobic meaning that they are wary of new objects, and they are highly mobile. All these traits how shown that rats are also capable of being trained. So, all in all, the rat is a highly developed creature. Overall PGM Rating 2/10 The rat scores impressively in pretty much every category and we must give them credit for that. But we’ve given them an overall low rating due to their risk to public health. The rat is widely regarded as the UK’s most problematic pest, most often described as vermin and has been seen as this throughout history. Even going back to the 14th and 17th centuries rats were blamed for the Black Death plague that swept Europe although recent studies suggest that they might not have been responsible.

Introducing The Mouse! This week we are excited to carry on with our series of "Pest Trumps" at PGM & SON Pest Control Services with The Mouse 101. Each pest trump file is available to download for free so you may use them at your business to help identify pests for the protection of your workers and customers. The PGM "Pest Control Trump" set of information cards is created to assist with pest-related issues in the UK. The Mouse 101 FACT FILE Coming alongside the Wasp and the Rat, another of the UK’s most common pests includes mice. Mice are a part of British wildlife and are active all year round. Field mice mainly live outdoors so are not normally a cause for concern. The house mouse on the other hand is a public health issue and can cause serious harm and damage. Mice are disease carriers and have been known to spread nasty diseases such as Listeria and Salmonella to humans through droppings, urine and bedding. They mark their territory with urine and build nests near to food sources putting humans at risk of food poisoning. Did you know this about Mice? Mice are sporadic feeders; on average they eat between 15-20 times a day despite their tiny size. Researchers have found that mice populations are increasing due to milder climates. The Mouse Strength Mice are small but their teeth are sharp. They are voracious gnawers and chew through wood, metal, pipes and cables to keep their teeth sharp. In fact, their gnawing through cables and pipework can cause electrical fires and flooding so the tiny mouse has super strength teeth. The Breeding of Mice Mice breed super quickly so they score highly in this category. On average, there are usually six pups in a litter, so 12 young in two months with the original breeding pair. Those first six young will take a while to become sexually mature, maybe six weeks. They could all then have a litter themselves, then the numbers really start adding up. One female can have five to ten litters per year. So, by the end of a year, it’s easy to end up with 2,000 mice, scurrying around transmitting dirt and bacteria over work surfaces. Mice, Nuisance Factor Due to the fact they can cause damage to property such as electrical fires and flooding along with their ability to spread disease and their rapid breeding cycle, the mouse is up there with wasps and rats for their nuisance factor. Mice Agility Mice are pretty agile, they can squeeze through a gap of only 5mm to gain entry – that’s roughly the size of the end of a pencil! That makes proofing extremely difficult. They are also great jumpers, climbers and swimmers. All round athletes! Their Environmental Impact Mice are an essential part of our ecosystem. Mice are a food source to large numbers of predators such as foxes, weasels, hawks, owls, shrews and more. Superpower: Nifty Ninjas These tiny mice can cause significant damage to property and to public health. Their ability to gain access through the smallest of gaps and their sharp teeth make them nifty ninjas! Overall Mouse Rating 4/10 Along with the rat, mice score highly most categories. However, similarly, we’ve given them an overall low rating due to their risk to public health and property. Mice are particularly problematic because of their ability to breed rapidly meaning you can have a large mice infestation in a relatively short period of time. To aid with pest-related issues in the UK, PGM & SON are creating a complete variety of "Pest Trump" documents that are available for the pest management industry and the general public to download for free .

This week we’re giving a heads up on wasps as the wasp season looms. We want people to know that wasps aren’t all bad despite their reputation as a fierce pest! Wasps are early pollinators which means that they are good for the environment. Wasps are particularly beneficial in gardens, they feed their grubs on caterpillars and other insects and this reduces other pest populations. The wasp is therefore a predator which plays a vital ecological role controlling the numbers of pests such as greenfly. Our shout out in the month of May is to leave the wasps to continue to do their work where at all possible. If you can’t live with a wasp nest, it’s in an inconvenient location or is a public health issue (for example, because someone in your home suffers from allergic reactions) then call PGM & Son Pest Control Hereford for help. We can treat wasps’ nests for you. Queen wasps emerge from hibernation from March through to May normally so you may be seeing them in your garden at this time of year. Queen wasps get their sweet sugary liquids as nectar from flowers making them valuable pollinators. Lots of people mistakenly assume that they must have a nest when queens emerge in spring and sadly many of the queens are killed off. Two simple things you can do if you have queen wasps: Open windows and allow the queens to escape Seal up entry points into your property from the outside effectively “wasp proofing” your property Once the wasp season is well underway, wasps’ nests tend to increase in size, and this is when wasps may become an issue. Apart from being a nuisance they often present a serious risk to public health. However, there’s some simple things you can do though to prevent wasps invading your home or business, such as: Securing your home – keeping windows and doors shut or installing fly screens Keeping your bins away from the house or your business and making sure they are regularly emptied, cleaned and have tight fitting lids Check your property or business for wasps’ nests – if you arm yourself with the knowledge of where your problem is and how big a problem you have, you’ll find it easier to live with or to deal with. Checking for nests early can often stop a problem getting worse – once you think you have a wasp nest, call PGM & SON Hereford for advice or help. If you do have a wasps’ nest, it’s best not to treat it yourself. Treating wasps’ nests can be very dangerous as wasps can become extremely aggressive if threatened. Unlike bees, wasps don’t die after one sting and multiple stings from multiple wasps can be extremely painful and, in severe cases, fatal. To keep yourself and your family and customers from harm, always call in the professionals. We have access to a range of solutions not available to the general public. We also wear protective clothing to avoid being stung ourselves and we’re trained to deal with wasps’ nests. So let your wasps, especially the Queens, do their early pollination work and keep an eye out for nests in your home or business.If you do have a problem, give PGM & Son Hereford a call – we offer a fast, reliable, local wasp nest removal service across Herefordshire and Worcestershire .

It’s that time of year when the weather starts to warm up, we can all start to go outdoors and enjoy a glass of wine or to with a meal with friends and family. It is also that time of year when we start to experience more problems with flies. This week we’re looking at fruit flies which are a common nuisance to households and businesses across Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Fruit flies are mostly attracted to over-ripe fruit and rotten vegetables and fermenting liquids such as beer and wine. You might also find them inhabiting bins and waste disposal areas where there are sufficient food sources. How to spot a fruit fly Fruit flies are quite small, around 3mm in size. Their main characteristic is their slow hovering flying with abdomen hanging down. Some fruit flies have distinctive protruding red eyes. Fruit fly fact There is one species of fruit fly which breeds in sour milk. Something to think about when you are disposing of your milk bottles – make sure you rinse out the last remnants to avoid fruit flies breeding in the residue left in the bottle. This is particularly a problem where more and more of us are recycling and retaining empty containers for up to two weeks before the refuse collectors take the recycling away. Top 5 tips of reducing risk of a fruit fly infestation There are some simple steps you can take to reduce a fruit fly outbreak. Promptly remove and dispose of left-over food and liquids Rinse out food and drink containers before disposing of / recycling Maintain good hygiene, wipe up spilled liquids and food matter Make sure bins are emptied regularly, washed down and in good order with tight fitting lids Keep windows and doors shut or install fly screens Hospitality businesses across Herefordshire and Worcestershire should pay particular attention whilst outdoor socialising grows during the warmer weather. Fruit flies feed on over-ripe fruit and alcoholic drinks especially attract fruit flies Pubs, bars and restaurants may see an increase in fruit flies resulting from spilt drinks, residues in drains and pipes and dregs left in the bottom of glasses. The problem with fruit flies Like most other flies, fruit flies can be a nuisance. However, they also have the ability to contaminate food and drink with bacteria. Fruit flies can pick up bacteria and other more serious disease and cross-contaminate food, drink, and surfaces by transferring them as they fly around and land on different sources. Fruit flies also breed very quickly Fruit flies can lay up to 500 eggs a time and can fully develop in around 7 days in the right conditions. It’s possible to experience a significant infestation in a very short time. If you have a fruit fly problem in your home or business call PGM & Son Pest Control for help on 01981 540088 or email contact@pgmpestcontrol.co.uk

Page Navigation Common Carpet-Damaging Pests in the UK Signs of a Carpet or Rug Infestation Cleaning & Maintenance for Prevention Non-Chemical Control (IPM Methods) When to Call a Professional Pest Controller Ongoing Monitoring & Long-Term Care Health, Legal & Insurance Considerations Preventing Spread Between Rooms Future Trends & Emerging Solutions Carpets and rugs bring warmth and style to a home, but they also attract unwanted attention from certain household pests. If you’ve noticed mysterious holes, fraying patches, or crawling larvae in your living spaces, you may be dealing with an infestation. This guide explains which pests eat carpets and rugs in Herefordshire and Worcestershire homes, how to spot the signs early, and what you can do to protect your investment. Carpet Beetle larvae beats the clothes moth as the main British textile pest Common Carpet-Damaging Pests in the UK Several pests target natural fibres such as wool, silk, and cotton. The most frequent culprits are: Clothes Moths The webbing clothes moth (Tineola bisselliella) and case-bearing moth (Tinea pellionella) are notorious for eating natural fibres. Their larvae are the main problem. Understanding moths > Carpet Moths Carpet moths (Trichophaga tapetzella) are well known for damaging natural fibres. It’s actually their larvae that cause the problem, as they feed on materials like wool, carpets, and other animal-based textiles. Understanding carpet moths > Carpet Beetles Varied carpet beetle (Anthrenus verbasci) larvae feed on keratin and can hollow out fibres. Understanding carpet beetles > Silverfish Thrive in damp conditions and occasionally graze on starchy backings or blends. Understanding silverfish > Rodents Mice and rats may gnaw carpets and use fibres for nesting. Understanding rodents > Other Textile Pests Weevils and even termites (rare in the UK) can damage imported rugs. Understanding Pest Biology & Life Cycle Most carpet pests cause damage during their larval stage. Eggs are laid in hidden or undisturbed places (beneath furniture, along skirting boards, inside folds of rugs). Egg stage: Laid directly onto fibres or dust. Larvae: The feeding stage that eats natural fibres. Pupa: Cocooned stage before adulthood. Adult: Often does not feed on fibres but reproduces. Across the UK, infestations peak in spring and summer, when warmth accelerates life cycles. Signs of a Carpet or Rug Infestation Look out for these early warning indicators: Patchy threadbare sections or irregular holes in carpets. Larvae (small, hairy or worm-like grubs) moving across the fibres. Cocoons or webbing attached to the underside of rugs. Fine powdery frass (droppings) or cast skins. Adult moths or beetles crawling near skirting boards. Dusty residues under rugs when lifted. Professional pest controllers may also use sticky monitoring traps or UV torches to confirm the problem. Conditions That Attract Carpet Pests Certain environments are more prone to infestation: Natural fibres such as wool and silk. Low traffic areas: spare bedrooms, under heavy furniture. Humidity & poor ventilation: especially in basements or older homes. Pet hair & food crumbs trapped in fibres. Stored rugs rolled up for long periods. Nearby animal nests (birds, rodents) providing protein debris. Prevention Through Design & Materials One of the best defences is to choose carpets and rugs wisely: Synthetic or blended fibres (nylon, polyester) resist pest damage. Insect-resistant finishes are available on some modern carpets. Proper installation and sealing prevents pests from hiding in edges. Allow airflow around rugs and avoid long-term storage in damp areas. Cleaning & Maintenance for Prevention A consistent cleaning routine discourages pests: Vacuum frequently, including edges, skirting boards, and under furniture. Steam clean carpets annually to kill eggs and larvae. Shake or air rugs outside in bright sunlight. Use specialist cleaning services for delicate or antique rugs. Control pet hair with grooming and frequent hoovering. Non-Chemical Control (IPM Methods) Many infestations can be managed with integrated pest management (IPM) approaches: Heat treatments: steam or hot air can destroy eggs and larvae. Freezing: small rugs can be sealed in bags and frozen for several days. Physical removal: brushing or laundering. Desiccants: natural dusts like diatomaceous earth can dry out larvae. Pheromone traps: monitor moth populations. Chemical Control Options If the infestation is advanced, insecticides may be necessary. Residual sprays or powders can be applied to carpets, skirting, and underlay. Contact aerosols kill visible adults but do not resolve larvae. Always choose UK-approved products and follow safety guidelines. Ventilate rooms after treatment and restrict access for children and pets. Professional pest controllers can apply stronger insect growth regulators or fumigation if required. When to Call a Professional Pest Controller DIY methods can help in mild cases, but call in an expert if: Damage is widespread or recurring. The carpet or rug is antique or high value. Infestation spreads to multiple rooms. You are a landlord or tenant with repair responsibilities. A professional will conduct a full inspection, apply targeted treatments, and provide follow-up visits if needed. Many firms also offer guarantees. Ongoing Monitoring & Long-Term Care To protect your carpets in the future: Inspect rugs every 3–6 months, especially before and after summer. Use monitoring traps in vulnerable rooms. Maintain a seasonal cleaning checklist (spring/autumn). Store rugs in sealed, pest-proof bags if not in use. Health, Legal & Insurance Considerations Health risks: frass and hair fragments may trigger allergies or asthma. Legal duties: landlords must provide habitable accommodation, which may include treating infestations. Insurance: most home insurers exclude pest damage, making prevention critical. Environmental care: dispose of chemicals responsibly to avoid harm to wildlife. Preventing Spread Between Rooms Infestations can spread quickly: Check curtains, upholstery, and wardrobes – pests move between fabrics. Avoid bringing in second-hand rugs or furniture without inspection. If moving house, quarantine stored items before unpacking. Future Trends & Emerging Solutions Pest control is evolving: Smart traps with sensors are becoming more affordable. Microencapsulated insecticides offer longer-lasting results. Climate change may extend the breeding season of moths and beetles in the UK. Resistance management is key as pests adapt to chemicals. Carpet pests can cause significant damage, but with the right knowledge and quick action, infestations are manageable. Inspect carpets regularly. Keep them clean and well-ventilated. Act early if you see signs of larvae or damage. Call a professional if the problem persists. Protect your carpets today — prevention is always easier (and cheaper) than repair.

The Varied Carpet Beetle Are your clothes being eaten? Got holes in your carpets? Seeing transparent skins and powdery dust like droppings on your carpets? You may be suffering from an infestation of Varied Carpet Beetle. The Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci) is a common house and museum pest. The Varied Carpet Beetle is small in size (around 1.5 – 3.5m) with a round body which is white and golden yellow in colour with black, white and orange scales and black legs. The larvae are called “woolly bears” and this is due to their bodies being covered in hairs. It is the woolly bears which cause the damage to textiles as they are voracious feeders and they can cause significant damage to natural fibres in particular woollens. The Varied Carpet Beetle can also be found in stored food products and they are the only British species of the Anthrenus to do this. How to prevent the varied carpet beetle Prevention is advisable as once an infestation takes hold this can cause significant damage by the time it has been identified. Adopting good hygiene and cleaning is important as larvae can thrive out of sight and undisturbed. For example behind skirting boards, in the pile of woollen carpets (particularly close to skirting boards), in fibres and other organic dust between floor boards, and near spiders' webs, feeding on dead insects. Regular vaccuming is advisable. They can also be destroyed by applications of proprietary insecticides orby freezing in bags in a deep freezer (at -18 °C) for 1-2 days. Because birds' nests in roofs can act as important sources of infestations, these are best removed and destroyed. Cavities attractive to nesting birds should be blocked, eg by wire wool. Woollens and other natural fibres should be cleaned and stored properly using securely fastened plastic or polythene bags. As an infestation of Varied Carpet Beetle can be very difficult to control, it is important to call in a professional pest controller who will have access to solutions not available to the general public.

Have you noticed the evenings starting to draw in and the mornings feeling colder when you wake up? If you’ve got a house mouse this may well be because of the Summer end; mice are often found in properties as they look for warmth and shelter, nesting sites and food sources. Mice may look cute, but they can carry some very serious diseases which spread to humans such as Salmonella and Listeria which cause food poisoning. Mice can also cause significant damage to buildings as they are capable of gnawing through electric cables, woodwork, pipes and packaging. Mice have been known to cause electrical fires and flooding in properties so early intervention is critical. For those running a business, particularly a food business, mice can cause irreparable damage to reputation. Customers don’t like sharing their lunch with mice! Don’t panic if you’ve seen mice in your house or business, at PGM & Son Mice Control Hereford we can help eradicate your mouse problem. How do you know if you have a mouse problem? Droppings! Mice droppings are usually black, 3-6mm long and rod shaped. You may find these under kitchen units and in roof spaces. Mice can lay lots of droppings, around 80 per day, and when freshly laid they are soft and moist. Nests – in lofts or under floorboards. Nests are made of wool, cloth and paper. Gnaw marks on skirting boards, pipes, cables and furniture. Dark grey smear marks left by their oily fur. It’s important to mouse proof your home or business – however, this can prove particularly tricky in older properties. Mice can squeeze through holes the size of the end of a bic biro! Mice breed rapidly so once you’ve seen one mouse you can be sure you’ll have a large family of them very soon if you don’t deal with the problem. This is why DIY remedies aren’t usually effective – mice adapt quickly and they are very mobile so a trained pest professional will be able to deal with your mouse problem far quicker and more effectively.
