Almost everyone in North London will have to deal with pest infestations at some point in their lives. The best way to prevent such problems is by being proactive and following good pest control practice in your home.
If pests do occur, it is important to seek professional assistance from a pest technician in North London . The specialist knowledge and experience that pest control experts possess allow them to quickly identify the source of the problem, assess its severity, and implement effective strategies for pest removal and extermination.
Rodents are common in urban areas from Enfield to Haringey and make the most of the food and shelter available in residential buildings. They are opportunistic scavengers feeding on discarded waste, seeds and fruit from gardens and parks and can quickly get out of hand if allowed to infest homes. Mice and rats are very difficult to eradicate once they have got a foothold in the home and require specialist treatment. The most successful method for rat and mouse control is to carry out extensive proofing, including blocking access points, and to use a combination of traps and poison bait stations.
Bed bugs are one of the most difficult household pests to eliminate and require specialist heat treatments. Unlike other cockroaches and ants they can survive cold temperatures and are highly resistant to most insecticides. They also breed rapidly and can be very difficult to spot.
Other common household pests include black garden ants, squirrels, moths (particularly the case bearing clothes moth) and wasps and bees. The vast majority of these species are no threat to the health and safety of the public but they can be a nuisance in some cases.
Pest infestations can threaten the reputation of any business, especially in the retail, hospitality and food service sectors where high hygiene standards are essential. It is therefore highly advisable to take out a commercial pest control maintenance contract in order to minimise the risk of such problems and ensure that your premises are kept pest free at all times.
