Today is World Pest Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness of the important role pest management plays in protecting public health, food safety, homes, businesses, and the environment.

Pests are more than just a nuisance. Rodents, insects, and birds can cause damage to property, contaminate food, spread disease, and create costly problems if left unchecked.

At Dalton Pest Control Services, we believe in doing more than simply treating the symptoms. We focus on identifying the root cause of the issue, helping to prevent problems from returning in the future.

From rodents and insects to bird proofing, drain surveys, mole control, and commercial pest management, we’re proud to support homes, farms, and businesses across South Wales.

If you’ve spotted signs of pest activity, don’t ignore it. Early action can often prevent a much bigger problem later on.

Attic clearance and sanitisation carried out following a rodent infestation 🏠

Once the infestation has been dealt with, it’s important the area is properly cleaned through. Contaminated insulation, droppings, and nesting materials can all leave behind ongoing hygiene and health risks if ignored.

Part of doing the job properly is making sure the space is left clean, safe, and ready for reinstatement 👍

See the smear marks?

This is a well-established route being used by the rats to access the kitchen and food supply. Rodents constantly follow the same paths, leaving grease and dirt marks behind from their fur as they travel.

A really good example of why finding the source and entry route is so important when dealing with infestations.

When you’re choosing a pest controller, you’re not just paying for someone to put down bait or set a trap.

You’re paying for experience, knowledge, and someone who will take the time to understand why the problem started in the first place.

That’s why we focus on finding the source, identifying entry points, carrying out proofing, offering drain surveys, and putting long-term solutions in place where needed.

We work across domestic, commercial, agricultural, and specialist wildlife management sectors, providing practical, professional advice every step of the way.

Because the best pest control isn’t just about getting rid of pests today…

It’s about helping make sure they don’t come back tomorrow ⛔️

Pigeon netting installed in the city centre this week following a thorough clean down of the courtyards 🐦

In busy city areas, pigeons can quickly become a major issue. Large amounts of guano build up not only creates an unpleasant environment, but can also lead to hygiene concerns, blocked drainage, slip hazards, and damage to buildings over time.

Netting provides a long-term preventative solution by stopping birds accessing and roosting in problem areas helping keep spaces cleaner, safer, and easier to maintain.

Some quick internal proofing carried out to this terrace house.

Pest prevention is such an important part of long-term control. Small gaps, pipe entries, and hidden access points can all allow rodents and pests into properties especially in terrace houses where movement between homes can happen easily.

Catching and sealing vulnerable areas early helps prevent bigger problems later on and reduces the chance of pests returning.

Wasps can turn up in more places than people realise 👀

Lofts, sheds, wall cavities, roof spaces… even underground nests are all common as we approach this time of year 🐝

If you think you’ve found a nest, avoid trying unsafe or inhumane DIY methods. Disturbing wasps or blocking entrances can make them aggressive and often makes the situation worse.

Best thing to do? Get proper advice and deal with it safely!

The wasp season is well underway and we’re already seeing calls coming in 🐝👀

We’ve put together some helpful information on our website covering:
• Common nest locations

It’s that time of year… the wasp calls have officially started 🐝

This time of year queens are establishing nests, which means we start finding them in all sorts of places including:
• Lofts
• Sheds
• Roof spaces
• Wall cavities
• Trees & bushes
• Underground burrows

If you think you’ve found a nest, avoid disturbing it or trying DIY/inappropriate methods.
Blocking entrances, spraying random products, or knocking nests can make wasps aggressive and create a much bigger problem ⚠️

Best thing to do? Call a professional and get proper advice.

Carried out some rabbit control and gently chased the unwanted visitors back out of this garden with the help of Cariad 🐇

They’d been getting underneath the fence and making themselves a little too comfortable, so the next step is proofing the area properly to help stop them re-entering.

Sometimes pest prevention is simply about guiding wildlife back where it should be then securing the access point afterwards 👌
