Pests are a problem all year round. Now that the colder months are upon us pests such as rats, mice, spiders and cockroaches are more prominent. They can cause damage to your home, may bring in diseases and contamination problems, as well as levels of inconvenience and unease. These pests are looking for warmth and food, and your lovely cosy home is a perfect location!
Rodents are especially a problem at this time of year. Rats and mice like to find locations where they will not be disturbed but with a good food course and shelter. Rats and mice are both capable of gnawing through a wide variety of materials to get to where they need to go. They also are carriers of diseases so if you think that you may have a rodent infestation, we suggest you call in a professional!

Spiders, like rodents, thrive in less frequented areas of your home. They are commonly found in garages and attics and will nest in these locations, as well as in neglected cupboards and wardrobes. Some spiders are dangerous if they bite you, however most are harmless, even if unsightly!
