RATS (Rattus Norvegicus) & MICE
Types Of Pest
Rats and mice are one of the most common pest issues throughout the UK and can be found in urban, rural and agricultural settings, all year round, but are most active throughout the winter months when they are looking for a food source and warmth. They carry a number of diseases, some of which can be harmful to humans and pets. These diseases can be transmitted through physical contact, urine, faeces and even through the fleas that can live in their fur. In addition to this, rats can cause significant structural damage to your property by chewing on piping and electrical wiring, which can render them useless and can even cause fires and flooding.
It is important that if you have concerns about having rodents in your property that you contact a professional pest controller as soon as possible. We offer a 3 service programme which includes surveying the property to determine where the source activity is coming from and the best course of action to take. This can vary case by case, but our experts will construct a tailored plan that best suits your needs.
WASPS
Types Of Pest
Wasps are a risk to public health and can cause harm to humans and pets as their stings can potentially cause allergic reactions, resulting in hospital treatment. Unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times and will instinctively attack anyone that ventures too near to their nest. Wasps can enter a property through air bricks, holes in mortar, fascia’s and even underground and a single nest can carry up to 5,000 workers. All of this makes treating wasps a particularly dangerous job, so it should be carried out by a trained professional.
Wasps are most active between May and November, but a nest can still be active during the winter months. If you have noticed a wasp issue or nest on your property, inside or outside, our experts are typically able to eliminate the problem within one treatment.
ANTS
Types Of Pest
Ants are a frequent pest in domestic households, mostly active between June and September, but can cause problems throughout the year. Ants can cause disturbance in and around your property as well as bring risk to public health, as they can walk across unclean or contaminated surfaces, potentially spreading harmful bacteria and viruses.
It is very difficult to gain control of an ant infestation yourself and if treatment is administered incorrectly, you can risk the infestation spreading. In order to treat the infestation effectively, it is highly recommended that you seek the advice of a trained professional. Our technicians are qualified to use a number of different methods to treat ants and will tailor their plan to best suit your situation. Infestations are usually able to be treated within 1 to 2 services and our experts will provide post treatment advice on how to prevent future problems.
COCKROACHES
Types Of Pest
Cockroaches can very quickly and suddenly begin a big issue within a property as they are fast-breeding and can survive in most conditions as they have developed immunity against certain types of pesticides, making most products bought over the counter, useless. They carry a number of health risks, such as contaminating food, triggering allergies as well as leaving faeces, exoskeletons and regurgitated food throughout the premises. As cockroaches move from filth to food without care, they have a high chance of carrying pathogens that can cause illnesses such as food poisoning and wound infections.
The best way to eradicate a cockroach infestation is to hire a trusted professional that is equipped with the knowledge on how best to solve the situation, quickly and effectively.
GREY SQUIRRELS
Types Of Pest
Squirrels can be a prevalent pest all year round but are particularly active when the weather gets colder, as they want to find themselves shelter to breed and keep warm. This is often within a loft space, as squirrels are able to squeeze through a hole the size of a tennis ball that they make in the fascia boards.They’re extremely noisy, so if you’re hearing disturbances throughout the day, particularly in loft spaces, there is a high possibility that it is a grey squirrel.
Although they look cute, they can cause a lot of damage within your property, easily chewing through electric cables, timbers, plumbing, stripping insulation and causing structural damage to your property. Grey squirrels have very strong, sharp teeth and claws so you may notice scratches and teeth marks on wooden furniture in the garden or within your loft space. Please be cautious when investigating a loft space, as they can become very aggressive if they feel threatened, so it is recommended that if you believe you have squirrels inhabiting your property, that you call a trained professional.
FLEA
Types Of Pest
Fleas are small parasites that feed off the blood of pets and humans so that they can lay eggs and breed. Although fleas are mostly associated with pets, they can be found in other places such as carpets, beds or soft furnishings. Each female flea can lay up to 25 eggs per day and normally live for 2-4 months, meaning that for every flea found/seen, there could be potentially hundreds within the property, leading to a heavy infestation. As fleas can live for months without food, it can be extremely hard to eradicate them, especially their eggs, without specialist treatment. Without this specialist treatment, a flea infestation will continue to breed and even hitch a ride on people’s clothes and spread to other properties, homes, offices and public places. In addition to having an ever increasing infestation, fleas can cause a lot of discomfort for both humans and pets, having bites that often result in itching and swelling.
BED BUGS
Types Of Pest
Bed bugs are parasites, usually brown, dark yellow or red in colour, that feed predominantly on human blood. Similar to fleas, bed bugs often hitch a ride from one destination to another and will continue to breed. An infestation can be extremely unpleasant to live with and can cause people insomnia and anaemia. As bedbug infestations are very problematic, it can be a gruelling process to eliminate, which is why it is highly recommended that you seek out a trusted profession.
FLYING INSECTS - MOTHS, CLUSTER FLIES, DRAIN FLIES
Types Of Pest
There are a variety of flying insects that can cause major issues and discomfort within your home. It can be difficult to identify the reasons as to why an infestation has occurred, which is why it is always advised that you seek the advice of a professional pest control technician. At Removapest, we are confident that our experienced technicians will identify what type of insect you’re struggling with, where the issue has arised from and what the best plan will be to resolve the infestation and source to give you peace of mind.
Effective control of flying insects is essential as they carry and easily spread many types of disease. For example, flies will lay their eggs wherever they’re able to and as long as they have a food source nearby, they will reproduce extremely quickly and raise their young there. Another flying insect that can cause issues within your household are moths. Moths not only cause damage to property, soft furnishings and clothing, but can also cause allergic reactions and skin discomfort.
Our expert team are able to identity a magnitude of different flying insects such as:
- Moths
- Cluster Flies
- Common House Flies
- Drain Flies
- Fruit Flies
- Bluebottle Flies

Types Of Pest
There are dozens of rodents and pests that cause people major distress and upset and here at Removapest, we pride ourselves on being able to offer a wide range of expert advice and solutions. Here are just some of the other services that we provide:
- Silverfish

There are thousands of mite species and they can be found in a variety of places within your home, such as on mattresses, on pets, in food cupboards and in soft furnishings. Mite infestations can spread very quickly and cause numerous health risks, such as scabies and allergic reactions which can lead to much more serious conditions such as heart disease and kidney problems. - Beetles
Similar to mites, there are many types of beetles that can cause problems within your home. These pests are notoriously hard to eliminate and infestation can quickly occur if not professionally handled. Beetles damage fibres while they feed which can leave holes in soft furnishings and clothes. If beetles are attached to clothing, this can cause skin irritation and discomfort.
