Bee swarm time . BE kind. Calls have started for swarms. Quite often thought to be wasps or hornets. Wasps and hornets dont swarm like bees so if you see thousands of insects in a swarm its likely to be bees. Bee hives unlike wasps nests dont die off at the end of the year and every so often a new queen will take a load of worker bees and fly off in a swarm to start a new colony some where else. The bees gorge on honey before leaving and as a result are usually quite docile. If you see a swarm dont panic, steer clear of it and call the Isle of Wight bee keepers association for advice .I dont treat bees under any circumstance as they are pollinators, under pressure and much needed for our plant lifes sucess. You can call me for Bedbugs, rodents, ants, cockroaches, moles, rabbits and most other pests

This year I have decide not to take on new wasp work. I will carry out work for existing customers and contract customers . Ive thought long and hard about doing so . My reason is
1. The current wasp dusts we have are using are inadequate and lead to repeat visits meaning I lose money on most jobs.
2. I would have to charge a high price to ensure I made a profit.
3. To properly treat a nest , ensure no bats or water tanks are in a loft takes time and effort, a competitive price to cheap treatments will not cover that.
Good Knight Pest will continue to offer services for rats ,mice, bed bugs , fleas , ants , rabbits , moles , moths, and most other pests .

So spring is approaching and I have already had a call for wasps. At this time of the year wasps nests are only the size of a marble and the queen wasps are just starting the nest. Therefore if you see a steady flow of insects going into or out of a building structure it will almost certainly be honey bees not wasps .If you have bees entering your property seek advice from a bee keeper. As a matter of principle I wont treat bees . If left bees unlike wasps do not start a new nest each they replace the dead queen with a new one and carry on. As a result if left they can eventually lead to honey dripping through ceilings.

Main pest at the moment is rats. rats are driven indoors by cold weather, lack of food and flooding in sewers. Rats leave the deeper parts of sewers in heavy rain due to flooding of sewer and move closer to the surface. If they find a broken or displaced pipe they will go into a property and feed or nest. I will check your property for entrance points , lift sewer manholes and see if any damage is allowing rats in. Give advice on reducing food and harbourage to rats and if necessary advise a sewer survey. Prevention is always better than cure but I can do both!
