How do you get rid of fruit flies?

Getting rid of fruit flies starts with making sure there aren’t spaces for them to easily breed. That means cleaning your drains, surfaces and recyclable items, as well as storing your food and bins securely. Keep fruit and vegetables in cupboards and remove any rotting food from your property immediately. If you already have an infestation, you may need to create a homemade trap to lure them in and deplete their numbers.

Regular cleaning is the best way to prevent drain flies, however, this may not get rid of them from within your pipes entirely. Call for professional insect pest control if you believe your property has an issue with drain flies and avoid them causing you or your guests any alarm.

How to get rid of flying ants

Getting rid of flying ants isn’t really achievable as they appear regularly each year. To prevent them from getting into your property, you can try to seal up all entry points and keep windows closed. Those that do make it inside can be tackled with specialist fly-catching products.

Rodents

How do I prevent moles in my garden?

There are a couple of DIY remedies to prevent moles from digging up your green space. One is to sprinkle red pepper powder or tobacco on the ground. Since moles don’t like sound and movement, having a pet such as a cat or dog might deter them naturally, or you can plant small pinwheels that will move with the wind. If you already have a mole issue and need professional assistance, call our team at Avid Pest Control today.

What are the signs of a mouse infestation?

If you notice small dark droppings, scratching and squeaking, ammonia smells, shredded soft materials or greasy smears on skirting boards, then it’s likely you have a mouse infestation. If you spot these signs and would like help eliminating mice and rodents from your property, call our team today.

Can mice get upstairs?

Yes. Mice are not necessarily found on upper levels of properties but it is not unheard of. Mice are good climbers and could even work their way through any gaps and holes within the structure of your property to find a higher level. This is often because they’re seeking shelter in places that are quieter and more remote while still having access to food. If you need help eliminating mice or other rodents from upstairs in your property, call our team today.

Wasps

How do I identify Asian Hornets?

Asian hornet populations have been on the rise and Defra is asking people to let them know of any sightings.

They are typically smaller than our native hornets too.

What should I do if I have wasps in my loft?

If you find that wasps have created their nest in your loft, call our professional wasp nest removal team at Avid Pest Control. Our team has the right equipment to carry out a safe and efficient removal of the nest without putting you in danger. We do not recommend you attempt to remove them or eliminate wasps yourself.

How do I get rid of wasps in the garden?

The odd wasp in your garden shouldn’t be an issue, but if you want to prevent them from ruining your peace, make sure you don’t leave any food or drink outside.
