🐀 Have you checked underneath your decking recently?

It’s not somewhere most of us think to look, but raised decking can make a great sheltered spot for rats to hide and nest.

With the colder weather setting in, it’s worth keeping an eye out for any signs of activity.

A few things to look for include droppings, gaps around the base, chewed timber and piles of leaves building up underneath.

If you’ve spotted anything suspicious, or just want peace of mind, give Jack a message.

🔥 Bonfire Night is over, but don’t forget the tidy-up!

A quick reminder to clear away any leftover bonfire materials, old wood and rubbish once everything has cooled down.

Piles of wood, garden waste and leftover food can make ideal hiding places for rats and mice, giving them somewhere sheltered to settle.

A few things worth doing:
🐀 Clear away leftover wood and debris.
🐀 Don’t leave food waste lying around.
🐀 Make sure bins are kept shut.
🐀 Keep sheds and outbuildings tidy.

It’s easy to overlook, but a bit of clearing up now could save you an unwanted pest problem later!

If you’ve spotted signs of rats or mice around your property, feel free to get in touch.

🐀 Rat infestation – 2nd visit completed

Back for our second visit to tackle a rat infestation.

On inspection, a rat had been caught in one of the snap traps in the kitchen, and no bait had been taken from the loft.

A drain survey was also carried out, and United Utilities were contacted regarding the findings. Unfortunately, they have denied responsibility, so we took further action by installing a one-way rat valve to prevent rats gaining access through the drainage system.

We’ll continue to monitor the situation and make sure everything is under control.

Having problems with rats? Don’t leave it to get worse. Get in touch with Wigan Pest Services today.

🥶 THE COLDER MONTHS ARE HERE… AND WE’RE NOT THE ONLY ONES LOOKING FOR SOMEWHERE WARM! 🐀

As temperatures drop, rats, mice and squirrels start looking for somewhere warm, dry and sheltered to settle.

Unfortunately, that could mean your loft, garage, shed or even inside your home!

🔎 Here are a few things to look out for:

* Scratching or scurrying noises in lofts and walls.
* Droppings in cupboards, garages or along skirting boards.
* Gnaw marks on wood, cables and food packaging.
* Signs of nesting in loft insulation or storage areas.

🏡 A few simple ways to help keep pests out this winter:
✔️ Check for gaps around pipes, doors and rooflines.
✔️ Keep food stored securely.
✔️ Make sure bins are kept closed.
✔️ Keep garages, sheds and outbuildings tidy.
✔️ Don’t ignore unusual noises or signs of activity.

Don’t wait until a small problem becomes a bigger infestation!

At Wigan Pest Services, we provide professional pest control solutions for domestic and commercial properties.

🏡 Having an extension built? Don’t let your inspection chamber get covered over!

It’s something that can easily be overlooked when having a new extension or patio installed, but your inspection chamber needs to remain accessible.

If it gets concreted over, accessing your drains for inspections, maintenance or repairs can become difficult and costly.

🐀 Why is this important for pest control?

Damaged drains and defects in the drainage system can provide rats with a way into a property. If a problem develops, having access to your inspection chamber can make it much easier to investigate and identify the cause.

✅ Make sure your builder knows where your inspection chambers are.
✅ Keep access available when planning your extension or new patio.
✅ If you suspect a drainage issue or rat activity, get it checked.

A little planning now could save you a lot of hassle further down the line!

🐀 Another job completed by Wigan Pest Services!

Following an initial visit to investigate signs of rat activity, we recommended a drain survey to get to the bottom of the problem.

The survey identified issues with the drainage, so we returned to carry out the necessary repairs and install a one-way rat valve.

This helps prevent rats from travelling up through the drainage system and gaining access to the property.

Thankfully, there’s been no further sign of activity since the work was completed!

It’s a good reminder that sometimes the problem isn’t inside your home, but how pests are getting in in the first place.

If you’re experiencing problems with rats, don’t just treat the symptoms. Finding where they’re getting in is just as important.

🐀 Hearing scratching or movement around your toilet or boxed-in soil pipe?

It might be more than just a strange noise.

Rats can enter buildings through defective drainage systems and gaps around pipes. If you’re hearing scratching behind the boxing around your toilet or soil pipe, it’s worth investigating.

Look out for droppings, unusual smells or other signs of activity nearby.

Not every noise is caused by rodents, but if you’re concerned, we can inspect the area and help identify any signs of pest activity.

🔥 Getting ready for Bonfire Night? Don’t give rats and mice a place to hide! 🐀

If you’re storing wood, pallets or other materials for your bonfire, make sure you check underneath for signs of pest activity.

Droppings, gnaw marks and nesting materials can all be signs that unwanted visitors have moved in!

✅ Keep wood stored neatly and raised off the ground.
✅ Check regularly for signs of rats and mice.
✅ Don’t let your bonfire materials become a hiding place for pests.

🐝 Wasp job completed today!

Another wasp job completed today by Wigan Pest Services.

We attended the property to deal with wasp activity around the roofline and carried out the necessary treatment.

Wasps nesting in roof spaces and under roof tiles can cause problems if left untreated, so it’s always best to get the professionals in.

🎃🐀 LEAVING YOUR PUMPKINS OUTSIDE?

Once Halloween is over, leftover pumpkins can attract rats and mice looking for an easy meal!

👀 Keep an eye out for gnaw marks, scattered seeds and droppings outside, or droppings and chewed packaging inside your home.

🎃 Top tip: Dispose of your pumpkins promptly rather than leaving them to rot.
