A customer enquired about having holes above his gutter where birds were getting into his loft. we had a look and noticed that most the cement under the ridge of the tiles had broke and was missing. We suggested installing gutter brushes. A cheap and cost effective way at keeping out birds, as well as keeping your gutter free of leaves, whilst allowing the rain water to drain a way.

No more birds, gutter clear and a happy customer. Oh and a steady supply of tea as it was a bitter cold and windy day.

t looks like summer has finally arrived and that means picnics, BBQs, drinks with friends in pub gardens and a plethora of insects; lady birds, butterflies, bees and…..wasps.
The bane of many a summer activity, wasps are among the most feared and hated of insects. However before you try to swat one, (I really wouldn't if I were you), or reach for the fly spray, (you will also kill a lot of OTHER beneficial insects too), take a moment to read about this most maligned and miss understood insect.

• Wasp venom contains a pheromone that causes other wasps to become more aggressive. Try not to swat one near its nest or other wasps. Told you so
• Wasps live in colonies that form self-contained communities, each following a caste order of queens, males, and workers.
• A male wasp is called a Drone. The job of the Drone is to mate with the Queen. After they have fulfilled this mission, they die shortly afterward.
• Wasps don’t swarm.
• Wasps feed their young meat (e.g. insect larvae). They hunt and eat almost every insect pest that harms crops. Wasps eat grasshoppers, aphids, flies and even other bees. They also eat nectar, tree sap and fruit.
• The only wasps that survive the winter are young fertilized queens. They emerge from overwintering in the spring to build new nests. Initially, the queen lays up to a dozen eggs and when they hatch into larvae she feeds them until they become workers. The workers then forage for food, feed the new larvae and defend the nest.
• In late summer, the colony produces males and new queens. They fly away to mate and the queens then find a place to hibernate. The cold weather eventually kills the males, workers, and foundation queen
• Wasps don't like herbs that are very aromatic, especially spearmint, thyme, citronella, and eucalyptus. Plant some of these around your patio and outdoor sitting areas to repel wasps.

Perhaps not such a useless, unimportant insect after all?

If you do have a wasp nest problem, please don't try tackling it yourself. Call us for same appointment,(in the majority of cases).

We at Buckinghamshire Pest Control have received several enquiries with regards to bees and their removal.
We do not deal with bees as this is a specialised area. Though they are endangered, they are not protected.

Beekeepers are often approached about winged, flying creatures, especially in the spring and summer period, when they are their most active simply working and are no cause for alarm. We can only help if they are honeybees.

As well as laying traps for rodents, ( we do not use poisons for rodents), we also use trail cameras to help identify and confirm the type of rodent, ( there are only three target species that pest controllers can legally trap or poison), so as not to kill endangered species and monitor their routes, feeding habits and possible nest sites.

Called by a customer who could hear scratching noises between sitting room ceiling and bedroom floor. So as per our procedures we set to work.

WHERE
Semi detached house, in void between sitting room ceiling and bedroom floor.
WHATS IT DOING
Householder hears it scurrying about in the evenings but rarely during the day.
WHAT SIGNS OF ACTIVITY
None than pointed out by house holder. No signs of holes, droppings etc.
WHERE DID IT GET IN
See pics
WHAT WE DID
Placed tracking dust and gel, as well as two monitoring stations with non toxic bait. Revisited two days later.
WHAT WE FOUND
See picture. The yellow blocks are the non toxic bait monitors. These show possible size of infestation and make the droppings glow in the dark, so we can see their routes etc. There was two of these blocks and were both well chewed up. The droppings are used as an aide in identifying the species.
WHAT WE WILL DO
Place traps containing non toxic bait in professional tamper proof boxes. Revisit every day to see what has occurred. Once we are sure that the infestation has gone, we will seal up the holes using approved methods.

At no point do we use poisons, (children and pets could be put at risk). Only humane traps are used ensuring the animal does not suffer are used, and the householder is kept informed at all stages.
