⚠️ Don’t Risk Treating a Wasp Nest Yourself ⚠️

Every summer, we attend properties where a simple wasp nest has become a dangerous situation because someone tried to deal with it themselves.

Disturbing an active nest can cause hundreds or even thousands of wasps to defend their colony. Multiple stings can be extremely painful and, for some people, even a single sting can trigger a serious allergic reaction requiring emergency medical treatment.

Many people choose to wait, hoping the problem will simply disappear. While wasp nests naturally die out in autumn, they continue to grow throughout the summer, often reaching several thousand wasps before the colony collapses. If the nest is close to your home, garden, workplace or anywhere people are likely to come into contact with it, early treatment is usually the safest option.

❌ Don’t spray household products.
❌ Don’t block the entrance.
❌ Don’t knock the nest down.
❌ Don’t use fire or boiling water.
❌ Don’t climb ladders to reach high-level nests.

At Povall Pest and Vermin Control we’re committed to protecting your family, your pets and your property with safe, professional wasp nest treatments.

Don’t DIY. Treat early. Stay safe.

Happy fathers day to all the dads out there and a special mention to those working this fathers day!!
We didn't have any work planned and I was helping my eldest move in to a new home when we were tagged in a post for a wasps nest in a garden...
We were so glad we went as this was a lovely young family with little kiddies. It was obvious they are a family who encourage outdoor play and quality family time, I could see the football nets, rugby balls, all sorts of outdoor play items in the garden.
However that all came to a stop when a wasps nest was found in the grass border, stopping this little Latics supporter from playing out!!
We jumped at the chance to get this little lad back out there on the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey otherwise known as the back garden⚽️⚽️...... scoring the winner to raise the world cup for England!!⚽️⚽️🏆🙌

Final score in todays match was

🐀 RODENT PEST CONTROL –

The Brown Rat

Professional troublemaker. Expert chewer. Unwanted roommate!!
the Brown Rat, one of the UK's most common rodents. Whether they're hiding in lofts, sheds, gardens, or wall cavities, rats are always on the lookout for food, shelter, and somewhere to call home—preferably yours!

🚨 The Problems Rats Cause

🦠 Spread Disease
Rats can carry harmful diseases including Leptospirosis (Weil's Disease), Salmonella, and E. coli, putting families, employees, and pets at risk.

🔌 Damage Property
Their teeth never stop growing, so they constantly gnaw on wiring, pipes, insulation, and wood, leading to expensive repairs and even fire hazards.

🍞 Contaminate Food
Rats leave behind droppings, urine, and fur wherever they travel, making food and preparation areas unsafe.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Rapid Breeding
A small rat problem can quickly become a major infestation if left untreated.

🔍 Signs You May Have Rats

✔ Scratching noises in walls or ceilings
✔ Droppings around kitchens, sheds, or garages
✔ Gnaw marks on cables and food packaging
✔ Burrows under decking or in gardens
✔ Strong musky odours

💡 Rodent's Tip

Rats can squeeze through gaps as small as 15mm. Check around pipes, doors, air vents, and drains—you might be leaving the door open without realising it!

5 weeks ago this amazing building in the centre of Manchester had a serious internal and external Feral Pigeon problem.
Upwards of 50 pigeons were roosting and nesting inside the building and around girders outside causing public health and safety issues for the lads from Amspec Ltd working hard to refurbish this beautiful listed building into a top class hotel.
Large guano deposits throughout and nesting producing more chicks every week.
Today i'm proud to say I did not see a single Feral Pigeon on my 2 hour visit and no fresh guano was found either internally or externally.
Being in the centre of Manchester there is a massive local Pigeon population but an integrated bird management system has really helped this site!!!!
