Plagued by pests in Kingston Upon Thames?

Pests can invade our space at any time of day, night or at any point in the year. Some people think that pests are only common in the heat of summer, or that some pests will only seek sanctuary in our homes and business during the colder winter months.

However, pests can arrive unannounced at any time…

• The weather – weather patterns can be a big influence on when and what invades our homes, businesses, garden, outbuildings and so on. For example, periods of prolonged rain, resulting in flooding can push many pests from their natural habitat, forcing them to seek shelter elsewhere.
• Their population – what can also push a pest from its natural habitat is when their numbers become too much for their natural surroundings. As a result, pests will leave their nesting sites to seek shelter in far less crowded places. Unfortunately, this can sometimes be our properties and so on in and around Kingston, Kingston Upon Thames, Norbiton and Hampton Wick!
• Our habits – there are times too, when our habits make our territory far more attractive to certain pests. The increase in recycling, including compost bins in gardens is perfect for so many scavenging and opportunist pests. The increase in keeping chickens in urban areas can also make some garden more attractive to ground-dwelling pests. However, this doesn’t mean that these things should not happen, more than how we do them may need altering slightly.
• The built environment – pests can sometimes be dislodged from their natural habitat by the built environment too. As a result, they look for new places to live which can sometimes mean then want to share our homes and so on.
• Increased travel – the fact that we move around a lot more too also means that some pests are able to gain access to the interior of buildings and so, by hitching a ride on us, our clothes, bags and so on. The increase of some bug infestations has also been linked to the trend for buying second-hand or upcycled furniture. Some pests can remain dormant for a long time, re-awakening when the conditions are right for them.
