2. Rats, Rats, Rats!</h3>
3. The beginning of the New Year has kept me busy with a common problem thread; rats entering properties through the drainage system.<br />
4. Drains can fail in a number of ways: the interceptors; the point between the home waste outlet meeting the main sewer, can fail enabling rats to cross from the main sewer in the road outside your home and enter your drainage system. From here they can find weaknesses in the drain system, using their teeth to burrow out of the drains and pass into the wall cavity and from there they can pass essentially anywhere within the property.<br />
5. I've used drain plugs to fit into the rodding eyes, where these bungs have been removed and not replaced, the last time, presumably, there was a blockage. This enable the rats to bypass the "p" trap within the interceptor and go over the top, where it is dry, and pass into the house waste drain system.<br />
6. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

8. This is a common theme: if the drain plug is removed, from these stoneware interceptors, I believe these were pre-1960's. These older drain systems had these ceramic components fitted with an integral rodding eye to provide access for drainage rods to be used, through the rodding eye, to remove a stubborn blockage. However, it does not need saying, but I will, these systems will only work if the drain plugs are replaced after the maintenance of the drains is carried out. This could be the home owner carrying out some home DIY maintenance or it could be a professional contractor, name no names, carrying out a commissioned job, and not finishing diligently??<br />

You can see that there is a waste gully with a drain "eye" above it. This the rodding eye, and it has no plug or bung in it. This means now or at some point later rats will discover this, whilst running along the main drain in the road, and will enter the through here and ultimately in to your home.<br />
10. The image on the right shows a replacement drain plug installed to deny rats any further entry. The image on the right was a customer who had a large infestation of rats in her utility room's ceiling and kitchen areas. The plug was installed and the infestation was removed, after a systematic program against rats.<br />

23. <div>
24. I have been growing a couple of chilli plants on my office window sill; a torpedo and a Lemon Drop variety.</div>

26. Have a look at: <a href="http://www.chilli-shop.co.uk/">www.chilli-shop.co.uk</a></div>
27. <div>
28. I've noticed that the plants have been attracting Green Fly / aphids, and not wanting to use chemicals on my precious chilli plants, decided to employ a more natural and equally effective solution to these nuisance pests: Ladybirds, or should I say one Ladybird, transferred from the tree in the back garden....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

51. <div>
52. <a href="http://londonpestgroup.com/" target="_blank">http://londonpestgroup.com/</a></div>
53. <div>
54. The pdf documents can be printed off and will detail the whole process of preparing a place for treatment through to the end of the treatment by a pest control professional.</div>
55. <div>
56. There is no underestimating the value of this website to those unfortunate enough to have to deal with this nuisance insect pests.</div>
57. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

60.  This is the inside of a bed base.</h4>
61. <div>
62. The wooden battens reveal dark/black "felt tip pen" like marks. What are these, you may ask? Well, those black dots are bed bug "poo" - blood fecal marks. When bed bugs squeeze into tiny gaps, they may have to secrete some of the human blood stored in their abdomen. Or it will be where they have harboured to digest their blood feed, until the next feed.</div>
63. <div>
64. There will be six blood feeds from the initial feed to full adult maturity; they must take a blood meal to finish each moult, the whole life cycle, under ideal conditions, can take as little as 2 months.</div>

66. The pets, require to be put on a program from the Vet; Advocate or
67. similar. The bedding needs to be destroyed or put on a hot wash, as the
68. flea eggs, larvae and adults will be found here, in addition to other
69. areas around the home where they sl<span class="text_exposed_show">eep or rest during the day.<br />
70. My role begins by initially vacuuming thoroughly with my "numatic"
71. Vacuum cleaner; this removes eggs, larvae, pupae and adult fleas.<br /> I
72. then treat all accessible floor areas with a insecticide preparation and
73. an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR); so I knock them down quickly and
74. disrupt their developmental stages.<br /> I emphasize to the client that
75. they MUST NOT vacuum until after the second and final treatment is
76. carried out in a fortnights time, or all that benefit / preparation,
77. working against the fleas, will be sucked up!<br /> Finally, I carry out
78. the same insecticidal and IGR treatment in 14 days time. This finally
79. breaks the life cycle and tops up the benefit of the initial treatment,
80. increasing the likelihood of success against these robust pests.<br />
81. Tip: if you are getting bites, primarily around the ankles, this may
82. indicate that you are being bitten by fleas, as they can only jump 6"
83. (inches) and this normally is the first point of contact with us, from
84. the ground areas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://enviropestsolutions.blogspot.com/feeds/5469275506927869887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://enviropestsolutions.blogspot.com/2014/06/summer-time-blues-biting-insects-fleas.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3256239730892060324/posts/default/5469275506927869887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3256239730892060324/posts/default/5469275506927869887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://enviropestsolutions.blogspot.com/2014/06/summer-time-blues-biting-insects-fleas.html' title='Summer Time Blues: Biting Insects - Fleas'/><author><name>EnviroPestSolutions</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06295415240894792863</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256239730892060324.post-3128946819760581414</id><published>2014-05-11T03:09:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2014-05-11T03:09:16.085-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Killgerm Training Course at Bisley</title><content type='html'>I attended a Killgerm Training Course at Bisley on 6th March, to show my proficiency in &quot;The Safe Use of Air Weapons&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

87. The Technical Manager - Duncan Bosomworth, was excellent and I felt compelled to trade my Webley Longbow rifle in and upgrade it to an Air Arms TDR 410. Wow! and what an upgrade it is!!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://enviropestsolutions.blogspot.com/feeds/3128946819760581414/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://enviropestsolutions.blogspot.com/2014/05/killgerm-training-course-at-bisley.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3256239730892060324/posts/default/3128946819760581414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3256239730892060324/posts/default/3128946819760581414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://enviropestsolutions.blogspot.com/2014/05/killgerm-training-course-at-bisley.html' title='Killgerm Training Course at Bisley'/><author><name>EnviroPestSolutions</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06295415240894792863</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256239730892060324.post-8849746807491944154</id><published>2014-05-11T03:06:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2014-06-03T12:53:27.620-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Queen Wasp!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

89. I discovered my first Queen wasp (x3 in fact) at an address in Reigate yesterday. the location was an attic space in a cottage in a leafy olde worlde village. I hope that there isn&#39;t any frosts from now onwards. I need the wasp nest season to be bzzzy!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://enviropestsolutions.blogspot.com/feeds/8849746807491944154/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://enviropestsolutions.blogspot.com/2014/05/i-discovered-my-first-queen-wasp-x3-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3256239730892060324/posts/default/8849746807491944154'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3256239730892060324/posts/default/8849746807491944154'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://enviropestsolutions.blogspot.com/2014/05/i-discovered-my-first-queen-wasp-x3-in.html' title='Queen Wasp!'/><author><name>EnviroPestSolutions</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06295415240894792863</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqvuADSnlQibboiZYf2b45-J8Z0mOB65iwcA6ADlaRKXViIPztnmU5J_Njoz7byVlU_kwpXUQlKmic-F1DaksTDZauRpjeAFwB7s3RkFHXQAj3OpmE4GlARM15GPxFXFghm08fI2ijrEc/s72-c/wasp.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256239730892060324.post-1589311774221551326</id><published>2014-05-10T13:45:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2014-06-03T12:55:08.702-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bird Netting Installation</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

91. Picture this....me and colleague Tom, had made all the plans necessary to carry out a bird netting installation in Brighton. We even attended the site a day early to ensure that the scaffolders provided the safe access for our specific needs; in the knowledge that we would be using it the next day (weekend).<br />
92. <div>
93. <br />
94. <div>
95. They promised, no problem...what a relief!</div>
96. <div>
97. <br />
98. <div>
99. We turned up early the next day to find the scaffolding was partially completed?!! Ok. They didn't have enough boards and poles. Of course, you may think, they contacted me, as I am the customer, to tell me of this important situation....nope, nada, nothing! Not a peep! I communicate with my customers; when I will be on site, when I'll be back and so on. </div>
100. <div>
101. <br />
102. The boss guy told us, when we phoned from site, that his blokes phoned him at 5.30 on the Friday with this news. So why not let me know too? It just grinds your gears. Communication is key with your customers.</div>

They are located in a specific area, which I&#39;m aware of, having dealt with a few local properties with the same ant species. I don&#39;t want to be too specific, as it appears to be under the radar at present, and I don&#39;t want to embarrass my client or notify my competition.&lt;br /&gt;
106. <br />
107. The BBC link details the potential enormity of this tiny pest. The ant has the similar colouring to Lasius niger (Garden Ant). But, it is distinctive as it is significantly smaller. As opposed to one Queen per colony, the Argentine Ant has numerous Queens.<br />
108. <br />
109. Your probable reaction might be to treat with an insecticide powder or spray? STOP! This is akin to throwing petrol on a fire. The many Queens react by abandoning the colony and establishing satellite colonies. Ultimately their pheromone; which does not disturb nor antagonise other Argentine Ants, helps to develop ever larger super colonies.<br />
110. <br />

112. <br />
113. Always correctly research and identify the pest. You will then understand, crucially, their behaviour, how they breed, feed and so on...</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://enviropestsolutions.blogspot.com/feeds/457475406206690752/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://enviropestsolutions.blogspot.com/2014/05/argentine-ant-infestation-in-eastbourne.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3256239730892060324/posts/default/457475406206690752'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3256239730892060324/posts/default/457475406206690752'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://enviropestsolutions.blogspot.com/2014/05/argentine-ant-infestation-in-eastbourne.html' title='Argentine Ant infestation in Eastbourne '/><author><name>EnviroPestSolutions</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06295415240894792863</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
