Case Studies
Case Studies, Wasp and Pest Extermination. Cheltenham. A couple had something eating away at the lounge and dining room carpets, eventually realising that it was the larvae of carpet moths. They tried treating this themselves but were having no success. We were called in and were given the job to eradicate the offending insects. The occupants had to leave the house for 4 hours during which time the carpets were sprayed with a residual acting insecticide. We even sprayed the carpet of the hall, stairs and landing as it was the same as on the ground floor and leading off it, all for the original price quoted. Needless to say, the moths, larvae and any hatching eggs were killed and the damage had been stopped, leaving relieved and very happy customers. Wasp Nest in Roof Space A local Cheltenham man called the Council as he had a wasp nest at the top of the gable end of his roof. The cement had cracked leaving several gaps. He called the Council, who could not or would not deal with it, he said. We attended and with the right equipment dealt with the problem in about 15 minutes. He later had the cement closing off the gap in the ridge tiles replaced and he has had no further problem. He was obviously very pleased with the job as later, when he had a rodent problem at another property, we were the only company called to deal with it. Moles in the garden - Charlton Kings Over recent weeks moles have had to go deep to find worms on which they feed, due to the length of dry weather we have had. A couple in Charlton Kings had a mole digging over their lawn and making a real mess of it. We detected runs at about a foot down and several traps were set. On returning several days later, there were signs that the mole had moved further down the lawn so a couple more traps were deployed covering the new runs. A few days later the mole was caught and all activity ceased. The couple were very pleased to have the lawn to themselves. This job was gained due the quality of the testimonials on the web site. Grey Squirrels in residential home - Gloucester A young couple of a house in Gloucester were being kept awake by suspected squirrels running through the loft. An examination confirmed their suspicions that grey squirrels were causing the problem. A trap was set but nothing happened until it was moved slightly. One juvenile squirrel was caught every two or three days. After 3 had been caught things went quiet for a while but we wanted the female adult caught. A few weeks later she was caught, the problem ceased and the couple can now sleep to a reasonable time again. Squirrel and Deer problem - Woodland off A40 The owners of an area of woodland off the A40 were shocked to find damaged trees. We were asked to go and assess the problem with a view to dealing with it. A visit revealed that the upper area of the trees were being damaged by squirrels and a successful squirrel trapping programme was carried out. As the lower areas had been damaged by deer we advised the client that we would have to wait until the winter when the cover decreases adequately enough for deer to be seen.
