Brown Rat Pest Control
Rattus norvegicus.
Also known as the common rat, street rat, sewer rat, Hanover rat, Norway rat, Norwegian rat, Parisian rat or wharf rat, is one of the best known and most common rats. They can carry over 45 types of diseases, they contaminate water, food and the environment. They also have a constant need to gnaw on tough inedible materials. This helps to control their rapidly growing incisor teeth.
House Mice Pest Control
Mus musculus.
The house mouse is a small mammal of the order Rodentia, characteristically having a pointed snout, large rounded ears, and a long and hairy tail. Mice are incontinent and urinate frequently. Because of this, a mice infestation is normally recognisable from the distinct musty smell of their urine. They will contaminate all surfaces that they move across with faeces and urine. They can produce up to 80 droppings a day.
Common Wasp Pest Control
Vespula vulgaris.
Vespula vulgaris, known as the common wasp, is found in various regions in the United Kingdom. Known for causing painful stings. They build nests in sheltered locations. Their body is yellow and black but their markings can vary depending on the species. They can grow from 12 to 17 mm. They feed on insects and sweets. Their colony can grow up to 25 000 individual wasps.
Hornet Pest Control
Vespinae sub family.
Hornets are the largest of the eusocial wasps. Hornets build communal nests by chewing wood to make a papery pulp. Each nest has one queen, who lays eggs and is attended by workers who, while genetically female, cannot lay fertile eggs. Hornets are often considered pests, as they aggressively guard their nesting sites when threatened and their stings can be more dangerous than those of bees.
