Bird Mites
Bird mites can quickly invade your living space, especially after birds have nested in your roof or nearby areas. These tiny pests can cause itching and discomfort, making them more than just a nuisance.
Recommended Treatment
We thoroughly treat infested areas, focusing on the roof void and areas where bird nests are present. To prevent recurrence, we recommend you bird-proof affected areas, ensuring that entry points are sealed.
Prevention Tips
- Regularly check and clear bird nests from gutters, eaves, and roofs.
- Use bird-proofing measures like netting or spikes.
- Seal gaps around windows, doors, and roof spaces to prevent entry.
Carpet Beetles
Carpet beetles may be small, but they can cause significant damage to natural fibres like wool, silk, and leather. Infestations often go unnoticed until the damage is done.
Recommended Treatment
Our treatment focuses on the infested areas of your carpets, particularly in low-traffic zones and near windows where beetles tend to enter. We apply a safe and effective solution, ensuring minimal disruption to your home, and we provide guidance on how to prevent future infestations.
Prevention Tips
- Vacuum carpets, rugs, and furniture regularly, especially in low-traffic areas.
- Store fabrics in sealed containers, especially natural fibres.
- Inspect windows and door frames for gaps where beetles could enter.
Clothes Moths
Clothes moths thrive in dark, undisturbed areas like wardrobes and storage spaces. Left unchecked, they can damage your clothing and other fabrics.
Recommended Treatment
We treat storage areas where clothes are kept, paying special attention to the cracks and corners where moths hide. Our methods ensure thorough protection without directly treating your clothes, keeping your items safe while eliminating the problem.
Prevention Tips
- Store clothes in airtight containers or vacuum-sealed bags.
- Regularly clean and air out wardrobes and storage areas.
- Use natural deterrents like cedar wood or lavender sachets to repel moths.
