🪲 Creepy and crawling!

We were recently called out after a customer discovered marks on their skin that they thought could be bed bug bites.

After carrying out a thorough inspection, we found no evidence of bed bugs. What we did find, however, was a high level of carpet beetle larvae around the property.

Carpet beetle larvae don’t bite, but their tiny hairs can cause skin irritation, itching and red marks, which can sometimes be mistaken for insect bites.

Treatment carried out:
• Thorough vacuuming of the affected areas to remove larvae, hairs and debris
• Residual insecticide treatment applied to cracks, crevices and other harbourage areas
• Advice provided to the customer on cleaning and reducing the risk of further activity

Correct identification is essential. What looks like a bed bug problem can sometimes have a completely different cause — and needs a different treatment approach.

If you’ve spotted insects, larvae or unexplained pest activity in your home or business, get in touch with Vector Pest Control.

🐀 RATS DON’T JUST MOVE IN — THEY LEAVE CLUES.

This is what we uncovered during an initial inspection.

➡️ Rat droppings throughout hidden voids
➡️ Expanding foam chewed straight through
➡️ Proofing material pulled out and disturbed
➡️ Food dragged away and hoarded behind the scenes
➡️ And most importantly — ingress points showing how they’re getting into the property

Putting bait down is only part of rat control.

At Vector Pest Control, we investigate where they’re coming from, how they’re getting in and what needs to be done to stop them coming back.

Got scratching in the walls? Found droppings? Suspect rats? Get it investigated properly.

🐝 It’s a belter!

Our customer got quite a shock when they looked in the loft and found this monster of a wasp nest — about the size of a beach ball! 😳

Wasps had started making their way into the bedroom, so they called Vector Pest Control to get the problem sorted.

We safely treated and removed the nest, meaning our customer can now sleep easy in that room again — without any unwanted visitors!

Got a wasp problem? Give us a call.

🐀 Signs of Rat Activity

Footprints clearly visible in the dust covering this rat box — a good indication that rats are active in the area.

But spotting the signs is only part of the job. It’s not always as simple as placing a rat box down and expecting the rat to enter.

Rats can be extremely cautious around new objects. Correct positioning, understanding their travel routes and feeding behaviour, and monitoring activity all play an important part in successful control.

Good pest control is about understanding the behaviour, not just putting a box down.

🐝 Still seeing wasps in September? You’re not alone.

A wasp nest lasts for one season, starting in spring and growing throughout the summer. By late summer, a mature nest can contain several thousand wasps.

September certainly doesn’t mean the nest has finished.

Depending on the weather, wasp nests can remain active throughout September and into October. At this time of year, wasps can also become more noticeable as their usual food sources begin to change.

If you’re seeing a steady stream of wasps entering and leaving the same hole, roof space, vent or other part of your property, there could still be a very active nest inside.

As temperatures fall, the workers and old queen die. New queens leave to overwinter elsewhere, and the old nest is abandoned and won’t be reused the following year.
