Flies

There are thousands of fly species in the world, and some of these can be unpleasant and annoying. They can also bring health risks in to your property due to the diseases they can transmit. Some flies can even bite which can become irritating. If a fly problem is left untreated, it can turn into a major infestation. 

A sign of infestation would be a large number of flies in either your home or commercial property. If you notice larvae, this is a sign that they are breeding. Flies breed rapidly, and depending on the environment they are in (with the right temperature and food), they are able to develop from an egg to fully grown adults in 1 week. After mating, the female fly will lay a few batches of 100 eggs. The life cycle of a fly is usually no longer than 30 days.

Flies feed on animal waste and other decaying organic matter. The bacteria and viruses they pick up can then be transferred to people and animals, normally via contaminated food and other products.

Moths

The good thing about moths is that they do not pose a health risk to you, the bad thing is that they can cause damage to items in your property. Moths like dark places such as wardrobes and insulated lofts. Some moths spend their time chewing through clothing, rugs, curtains and other items made of natural fibres. By the time most people realise they have a moth problem, the moths would have already caused damage to fabrics, clothes and other materials due to their larvae.

Wasps

Wasps are mostly active in the summer months due to warm weather. The common wasp and German wasp cause the most annoyance, and their sting can be very painful. They have a yellow and black body but are commonly confused with hornets which are not as common in the UK – although they can still sting you. Only female wasps have a sting, which can be used repeatedly, although this is normally only when they are feeling threatened. A wasp sting can be painful but does not normally cause any long term harm. However, if you are allergic to stings this could be life threatening.

Wasps will build their nest either outside, commonly under eaves but if they are able to gain entry to your property, they will shelter inside in wall cavities, and the roof.

Honey bees

Wasps are commonly confused with bees – mainly honey bees. Honey bees can vary slightly in colour, some golden brown to others that are mainly black, and are furrier than a wasp. 

We do not offer any treatment for honey bees as they are one of the most important insects in the country, but we do recommend you visit the British Beekeepers Association to find a bee keeper local to you, who will remove and relocate them. Contact us for more information.
