Garden moles can do a lot of damage to turf, lawns, formal gardens, fairways, greens and sports grounds with their constant digging. They can quickly establish themselves in a location with their ability to tunnel up to 4 metres an hour!! They create complex burrow systems very quickly. The eyesight of moles is generally poor, as is their sense of smell. They find food by their acute sense of touch and vibration.
Their tunnelling damages the roots of young plants and exposes stones and debris that can damage machinery. These factors are costly to gardeners and businesses that rely on their grounds, lawns, greens or gardens.

We specialise in domestic and agricultural mole control so don't hesitate to call us so we can help :)

A wasp nest will start off very small, When a Queen wasp starts to build a nest in spring it is usually about the size of a walnut or golf ball.
As summer get closer the nest will grow quickly in size, as the number of wasps increase. A nest can become the size of a football, or even bigger in some cases. More commonly nests are hidden and access will only be seen in wall cavities.
It is best to treat a nest earlier in the year before numbers increase and the wasps become more aggressive.

Just a little bit of info for identifying a wasp nest.

Wasps make their nests from chewed wood pulp and saliva, giving them distinctive papery walls.
Nests are usually built in sheltered spots with easy access to the outside. You can often find wasp nests in wall cavities, roof spaces, under eaves, in bird boxes, sheds or garages.
To find a nest, carefully watch the flight path of the returning wasps, this becomes easier later in the summer as the numbers of wasps increase.

Despite the rabbits cute reputation, they are also a major pest species in the UK. This mammal is greatly underestimated by many but their capabilities to breed as well as, chew, eat and dig through most landscapes is very apparent. The problems will only multiply if the rabbit population is left unregulated.
This means a lot of devastation on farmlands, approximately 7 rabbits will eat as much as A sheep in one day. Taking that into account is a lot of devastation to a farmers crop!
It is estimated that rabbits cost the British agricultural industry £100million a year through crop damage.
Give us a call or send us a message if you have an issue with rabbits that you need controlling.
