Even though there are plenty of things that we all love about summer, there are a few things that I wish we didn’t have to endure. Along with the longer days, picnic weather, and family holidays, it is also the most prime season for sunburns, high temperatures, and of course, wasps.

Wasps don’t tend to build their nests in the same way that bees build their hives. Wasps boast a certain jaw design that assists them with the building of their nests, but they also require other materials to help them create a safe and sheltered home.

Cockroaches are particularly unpleasant pests, and your home is an ideal breading ground. After all, your home or business premises are warm and there’s usually a good supply of food. And, once they find their way in, they can quickly reproduce, causing an infestation. Not only is a cockroach invasion annoying and, let’s face it, embarrassing, they can also spread germs and disease.

It may be cold outside but don’t be fooled in to thinking this means little critters can’t survive! Bed bugs don’t exactly retreat into dark caves for a few months like bears do, neither do they die or retreat to more welcoming habitats either like some insects.

The above statement is true in very many scenarios, and is highly relevant in areas of pest control. This may sound obvious to many people, but there are countless things than can be done that take little time and effort, that will all help avoid shocking infestations of pests that can be hard to eradicate once established.

Let’s be clear here, most people that see magnified images of bed bugs are horrified. And rightly so. Bed bugs resemble something from a terrifying sci-fi horror movie and, be under no illusion, their habits and lifestyle reflect their shocking appearance. Bed bugs cause some serious pest control issues in Peterborough and across the United Kingdom and here’s why.

Bed bugs grow to 5mm in length in adult life and – wait for it – feed on your blood. They are attracted to carbon dioxide primarily and to warmth secondary. So where is the ideal environment for them to thrive? That’s right, in your bed! Whilst bed bugs do not present a serious health risk, their immediate presence is often recognised by the bites that they inflict on their hosts – humans whilst sleeping.
