It is important when a bed bug infestation is discovered in a household or commercial property, that they are treated as soon as possible.

There are commonly two types of moth that may require pest control treatment: Clothes Moths Clothes moths infest clothing, carpets, and other materials in your home. They most frequently occur in knitwear such as wool, cashmere or angora, as well as other natural fabrics such as silk and leather garments. Clothes moths hold three different forms, from their tiny 5mm eggs, to the moth larvae growing as they develop. Once adult form, clothes moths are usually around 1.5mm long. Although easier to spot in flight, due to their size they are able to fit into tight crevices in your wardrobe. Cereal MothsCereal moths infest cereals and cereal-based products. These moths can be present in dry foods such as flour, cereals, grains, pasta and nuts but often go unnoticed until they become abundant.

One of the most effective ways of identifying if you have a moth problem would be to check your wardrobe for signs of a moth infestation. Indications can include checking to see if your clothes appear ragged or have holes in. Maggot-like larvae may also be seen in clothing, as larvae is the main cause of holes in your clothing due to them feeding on fabrics. However, a moth infestation does not just stop at your wardrobe. It is important that woollen carpets, sofas, cushions and curtains are also examined as clothes moths will feed on these fine, natural fabrics.

There are two types of cockroaches treated by our controllers: German Cockroaches are light brown in colour with a wing base, and are approximately 1.5cm in length. These types of cockroaches are usually found in warm, moist environments, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Oriental Cockroaches are smooth with a black coloured body. They have no wing base and measure at approximately 2.5cm. Oriental cockroaches are often found in terraced housing, infecting entire blocks of properties as the move throughout the beams and rafters. Although there are many differences in the two cockroaches that are treated by our controllers, infestation from them can be unsightly and should be treated efficiently by a pest control professional to ensure they do not return.
