As I pen this blog there are intruders invading my personal space. A harlequin ladybird crawls across the computer screen and a cluster fly taps lazily at the window. The fly gets swotted immediately but I have almost given up trying to evict the Harlequins from my home. The invasive ladybirds hide in the sash windows, lay their eggs and creep out in their dozens. A spritz of insecticide will cause ladybird casualties but the tiny harlequin eggs are far more difficult to get rid of.

Harlequin ladybirds are harmless to humans but pose a real threat to native ladybirds. Yesterday the BBC reported that native UK ladybirds were facing near extinction. A study discovered that seven out of the eight native British species they studied have declined, with issues also identified in Belgium and Switzerland. The report estimated that numbers of the two-spotted ladybird (Adalia bipunctata) fell by 44% in the UK and 30% in Belgium in the five years following the harlequin’s arrival.

Native ladybird species produce just one generation per year, but the harlequin has as many as five generations per year which is why it has become so prolific so quickly. Not much eats the harlequin either as it emits a nasty stink. Harlequin ladybirds eat aphids but they also eat the eggs and larvae of butterflies and moths, putting these species at risk too.

Space Invaders is a post from: deBugged - The Rentokil Blog

Are you in a cubicle devoid of personal effects, or do you have a massive desk and a window overlooking rolling fields with more family photos, papers and inspiring quotes found on your everyday (or perhaps overseas!) travels that you can shake a stick at? Or does it fall somewhere in between like mine? My desk overlooks Maidenhead railway station, which isn’t too inspiring, although my four year old son would consider it heaven. I can bring in as many photos from home as I choose, and usually have a tall glass of water on hand – just to keep up the health kick – as well as a coffee cup, which immediately cancels out the health benefits of the water.

But why do I ask? Well, Ambius (one of the Rentokil Initial divisions) offers internal and external landscaping and scenting and they have funded scientific research which confirms what we instinctively already knew… When you are allowed to personalise your working space (using plants or images for example, hence linking back to Ambius), you are happier at work and therefore more productive. I was lucky enough to be at some of the kick-off meetings when PRISM first started working for R&D at Felcourt when I first joined the company. I interviewed Craig Knight, the lead researcher for the PhD project, to find out a bit more.

DJ: So Craig, it’s been a while since we last talked, what have you been up to recently?

CK: Well, Craig from PRISM (or “prison” as a lot of people often mishear) is soon to be no more. We will soon be relaunching the company as Identity Realisation (or IDR for short). We have got loads of projects on the go. For example, a major car manufacturer wants to investigate how they can make their connecting portacabins each have their own colleague inspired colour and style whilst retaining some kind of corporate stamp.

DJ: But how did you get into this area of research and get funding from RI, what’s your background?

CK: I previously worked in Office Design for several companies, working my way up as I went. Mike Lothian approved a CASE award (industry sponsorship for a PhD) and we kind of grew from there as the working group PRISM (now IDR).  I took this interest into academia at the University of Exeter.

DJ: Can you see every office being “IDR’d” in the future then?

CK: Well people already personalise their space at home when they own it. When you rent a property you are limited to what you can do, similarly in some office environments. Our research has linked office design to productivity and employee morale.  Similar studies using artwork with older adults in care have shown a causal link between personalized space and well-being.

DJ: Oh yes, I remember you mentioning that. Tell me more…

CK: If you think of the artwork that typically hangs in an old people’s home it tends to be fairly uninspiring stuff.  Yet there is research that suggests that as older people’s eyesight gets worse they enjoy more vivid paintings or an image such as those that Ambius provide as part of their Art offering (See an example below).

DJ: That makes perfect sense, maybe I can give you the details of the nursing home my Granny is at! Where are you based now, still at the University of Exeter?

CK: Yes, I’m an Honorary Research Fellow now and trying to bridge the gap between commerce and academia, still occasionally working with Alex (Professor Alex Haslam). I’m happy working on fully blown international projects and scaled down local consultancy type projects. IDR can now offer quantitative scales which gauge people’s perception about how empowered they feel in their own office space. Employee engagement is critical in terms of productivity, identity and general well-being.

DJ: What one main thing do you feel you have learnt either professionally or personally then following your significant PhD research?

CK: (Chuckles.)  Well professionally, I need to reign back from professing expertise. Offering improvement is far better than expertise. And personally that there is always so much more to learn and understand.

DJ: Just one last nosey question from me, how long was your PhD viva? I have yet to find someone’s that lasted longer than mine (mine was four hours).

CK: Two and half hours, so not too long. The PhD also led to a few papers published in well regarded journals (including Scientific American, Ageing & Society and the Journal of Experimental Psychology) so all that hard work seems worthwhile .

DJ: Well, thanks so much for your time Craig; I know you’re a very busy man giving lectures on this massive and extremely fascinating subject. I think we have barely skimmed the surface, so if anyone wants to hear more from Craig ask him some questions here on the blog and we’ll get the answers for you. We can also do a follow up interview if we have enough interest. Or if you want, tweet or FB us some photos of your office space!

I recovered my senses and snapped the taps shut. I went to pull out the plug but was left cursing the lack of a chain as I grappled amongst the corpses trying to release the stubborn little rubber bung.

With the bath finally drained I checked the taps in the kitchen. The water there also had six legs, wings and eyes! I gave up on the idea of a bath and also decided against making a cup of tea. Instead I sat in front of the fire and tried to figure things out. Had I insulted a local wizard, was I now under a horrible curse and doomed to be plagued by flies for the rest of my life?

Given that I lived near Glastonbury in Somerset it was possible I’d insulted a wizard but I dismissed the new age curse nonsense and instead applied cold logic to the situation. The water came from the small loft space in the cottage roof where the header tank was. Perhaps there was a dead bird in the tank and it had attracted flies. Reluctantly, I squeezed myself into the tiny roof space to investigate.

Time for another horror moment. This time it came as I realised that the gritty stuff coating the loft floor, the dirt I was now laying on, was a carpet of dead flies. I ejected myself from the loft opening, kicking the step ladder away, and crashed down into the hallway in a fly strewn heap.

I reasoned that flies in that quantity, dead or alive, were best left in the hands of a professional fly person. Although not literally, hopefully. A few hours later a pest control expert arrived and quickly passed judgment on the nature of my plague.

“Cluster flies,” he barked as he crunched around above, having somehow squeezed his considerable bulk into the roof space.

“They’ve probably over-wintered up here and became active when the weather got warmer. The lid’s off your water tank and a lot of them have decided to go swimming! You’ll have to flush this tank, it’s thick with them!”

Great. I’ve spent winter with a new baby in tiny country cottage, along with a million flies. Now my water system is infested with their bodies. Yuk! More importantly though, can this man wipe these pests from the face of my cottage and ensure they never darken my roof space again?

“I’ll have to set off some smoke generators, they’re like candles that produce clouds of smoke and kill all the flies,” replied the expert.

Yes, launch the attack! Exterminate! Exterminate! I was in no mood for mercy.

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to stay here for a couple of days, sir,” he said, as he clambered back in to the hallway and dusted a few hundred flies off onto the carpet. “Especially what with the baby, the smoke wouldn’t be good for the baby.”

What? Now I was being driven from my home by a swarm of cluster flies and a man with a broad west country accent and some weapons of mass destruction.

Cluster flies like to overwinter in a place that’s relatively warm. They will often buzz around in your conservatory, leading you to wonder what on earth these pesky flies are doing bothering you in mid-winter! They don’t need bait such as a dead pigeon to congregate, just a convenient shelter they can get access to. They don’t lay eggs in your rafters, they do that in earthworms! But if you get an infestation it’s really not pleasant and your best option to get it sorted is calling in a professional.

“Oh, and best warn the fire brigade,” said the flied-piper. “They might get some calls once people see smoke coming out of your roof, especially with this place being so high up on the hill.”

I went and spoke to the fireman on the phone, spending rather longer than I’d hoped explaining that I didn’t mean it like that when I said the smoke from the roof would be deliberate!

Two days later, after the smoke bombing run, I returned to the scene of the plague. The man had done his job, he had killed all the flies. However his brief apparently didn’t include cleaning up the corpses and that dreadful task had fallen to me.

And I’m not even going to try to describe what sound a bin-bag full of dead flies makes…

Mosquitoes, Ticks, and Tsetse Flies

While a bug bite here in the States will seldom do more then leave you irritated and scratching at it, bug bites abroad can be serious business. Dengue fever, malaria, or sleeping sickness—which are potentially life threatening illnesses—are just a few of the horrifying possibilities, and all of them are transmitted by insect bites.

Your first line of defense is to avoid areas where the bugs are prevalent. If that fails, keep covered and wear plenty of bug spray. A compound of 50% DEET is preferred. Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants instead of shorts, boots instead of sandals or open-toed shoes, and tuck your pants into your socks to protect your ankles, a favorite spot for mosquitoes.

In areas prone to ticks, like grasslands and treed areas, keep your hair covered as well and inspect for ticks regularly. If you are sleeping in the open or in an unventilated area, you need to use a mosquito net around your sleeping area to protect yourself through the night.

Tsetse flies are attracted to airborne dirt, so if you’re riding in an open car, it’s preferable to sit up front to avoid them. You’ll want to wear light-colored clothing and avoid yellow, the color reminds many arthropods of the food they eat and might attract them to you. Finally, there are medications that can protect you from some of these illnesses, so check with your physician well in advance of traveling.

Bedbugs

Bedbugs are a problem at hotels and hostels around the world. In order to avoid bringing the six-legged hitchhikers home with you, do a visual inspection of your room upon entering. Look at the bedding, pull back the sheets and check the mattress for critters, and check floors. They are keen on carpeted and soft areas, like your luggage, so DO NOT set your suitcases down on beds or floors. Instead, upon entering your room, it’s best to put them up high on a shelf or in a tiled bathroom where bedbugs are unlikely to be until you are sure that the room is clear of pests.

If you do run across bedbugs, you’ll need to deep clean every piece of fabric before you bring it back into your home to avoid an infestation.

Outdoor Adventure Safety

When experiencing the great outdoors through activities like hiking, mountain climbing, and horseback riding, make certain to follow the above outlined tips for keeping safe from biting insects. However, you’ll also want to take further precautions if you know you will be outdoors in pest-stricken areas.

Many areas of the world are home to particularly dangerous ants, wasps, hornets, spiders, and other nasty, nest-y pests that you’ll want to make certain not to disturb. If hiking at night, you’ll want to stay aware of your surroundings and utilize a durable, long-lasting light source (I like the flashlights from 5.11 Tactical to make sure you can see where you are stepping. Stay on well-traveled trails where they are less likely to nest.

During the day, keep your vision keen on the trails. Sunglasses are recommended for blocking out the sun’s glare and allowing you to clearly see any potential pests in your surroundings. Before setting up a tent, make certain to thoroughly inspect potential campsites for anthills and nests. Also, many of these critters build nests under the cover of vegetation so steer clear of dense growths.

Finally, if you’ll be hiking through areas of stagnant water, you’ll want to keep yourself protected from leeches and other pests by wearing hiking boots that fully cover your ankles.

Water-Born Illnesses

If you are traveling to an area that has poor sanitation, you need to beware of the dreaded Traveler’s Diarrhea, which is caused by exposure to unclean drinking water. Your best defense is to not drink the water, not ever, if you are unsure whether it’s sanitary. Simply stick to bottled water, sodas, drinks that have been boiled—like tea, coffee, wine, or beer.

It’s easy for contaminated drinking water to sneak past an unwary traveler, so remain vigilant. Something as inconsequential seeming as brushing one’s teeth or drinking a soda that has water droplets on it from melted ice can be enough to make you sick. Also, when in doubt, leave it alone. If you don’t see something opened in front of you, refuse to drink it. Make certain that you carry your own liquids with you so that you always have access to safe, clean water.

Avoid Foreign Pests While Traveling is a post from: deBugged - The Rentokil Blog

A U.N. Conference held in 2008 in Thailand was the scene of an insect eating research Summit. As far as I can tell none of the superpower presidents or any high ranking diplomats were in attendance, but 36 scientists from 15 countries were and they had some interesting things to say about eating bugs like grasshoppers, crickets, grubs and ants. What may seem like an odd food source to us in our homeland, may actually be a delicacy in another part of the world. In fact, Dutch, Australian and American scientists noted that increasingly more restaurants in their respective countries are popping up with insects on the menu. The research is aimed at showing that eating bugs is not just for emergencies or famine, it might very well be the breakfast of champions at your favorite bistro!

So what countries have what bugs on the menu? In the US, the cochineal, an insect native to South America, is used in red dye for things like red lipstick and red candy. In Japan, hachi-no-ko (boiled wasp larvae) is a popular delicacy you can find all over Japan; like chicken nuggets at every fast food restaurant, on almost every corner in America. In Thailand, fried crickets are a common sight in bars (just like pretzels or peanuts in the US), and in Brazil, queen ants like the icas ant are wildly popular because of it’s mint like flavor.

I remember being a kid perusing the buffet line at a restaurant, or the offerings on a menu, trying to decide what to eat, or, what not to eat, based on what it looked like or what I was told the food was. It was a veritable mine field of chance-by-choice. Ewwww, peas. Fast forward a few years, okay decades, and I eat most of the stuff I wouldn’t dream of touching as a child. That raises an interesting question. What if all this bug eating was the same thing? How will we know what we like if we don’t try it first? I’ve had chocolate covered grasshopper and no, it didn’t taste like chicken. It tasted like chocolate and peanuts. Not bad. That being said, if you have an ant infestation, or cluster flies buzzing about, don’t run to the cupboard for the chocolate sauce, call a professional.

Would You Like Flies With That? is a post from: deBugged - The Rentokil Blog

Items from private collections occasionally went missing. Some say the Beast of Bodmin Moor is a black panther, escaped from a private zoo. The first wild black squirrel was spotted in 1912 near Letchworth in Hertfordshire after escaping from a private collection owned by the Duke of Woburn. The black squirrel is a genetic mutation of the grey squirrel which could soon outnumber the red squirrel. There are an estimated 25,000 black squirrels in the UK and 30,000 red squirrels.

In 1902 a handful of the enticingly named edible dormouse (Glis glis) escaped. Today there are an estimated 20,000 Glis glis residing in 25 mile radius of Tring. Although very cute, Glis glis are incredibly noisy and have become a nuisance to Chiltern homeowners sharing a home with the noisy critters who like to gnaw electrical cable and produce humongous amounts of waste.

In the US escaped pets are more sinister. A paper published on Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported a severe decline in the number of small mammals in the Everglades. The culprit was the Burmese python. The gigantic 13 foot constricting snake which is native to Asia, slivers through the waterways of south Florida, preying on a wide variety of mammals and birds. The report stated that before 2000, mammals were encountered frequently during nocturnal road surveys within the Everglades National Park. A decade later there is a 99.3% decrease in the frequency of raccoon observations, decreases of 98.9% and 87.5% for opossum and bobcat observations, respectively, and no rabbits. Some of the Burmese pythons are escaped pets, others dumped or introduced into the Everglades on purpose.

The Americans have spent $78million trying to keep Asian carp out of the Great Lakes. The Ontario Commercial Fisheries Association claim it could be catrosophic if the Asian carp infests US lakes. Anyone found in procession of asian carp can be fined $60,000. If you spot an Asian carp click here to learn how to report it.

Evicting the outlaws from your home it not straightforward. It is an offence under Section 14 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to release or allow the escape of any invasive species into the wild, including Rattus norvegicus, the brown rat.

Invasive species not only create havoc for native species, they can be bad for your health. The Giant African Land Snail was banned from being kept as a pet in the US in 2004 because it can carry a parasite that can lead to meningitis.

The legacy left by the Edwardian collectors has been costly. Invasive non-native species cost the British economy over £1.7 billion a year, with the Norwegian rat creating £62 million pounds worth of havoc.

When Escaped Pets Become Pests is a post from: deBugged - The Rentokil Blog

Recently, when sat aboard my boat tied up in a town centre marina, I watched evening revellers enjoying their drinks on the boardwalk blissfully unaware of rats crawling inches below their feet. As people sat sipping gin in the fading evening light, brown rats were scampering along the edge of the dock just inches from their feet. The rats were out of sight and out of mind for the drinkers but my vantage point on the water revealed just how close these animals can be to us. There will be many other places where you’ll be indadvertedly cozying up with rattus norvegicus. Factories, rivers, canals, farms and of course the city streets are all favourite rat habitats. In urban areas rats are gifted an abundant food supply in the form of our litter and sewage and they thrive on that generosity. On farms rats can be a major pest; eating, destroying and contaminating grain, seed and produce. Some statistics even claim that rats chomp their way through as much as one fifth of the world’s food supply!

Rat droppings even get into food. But don’t worry, in the US at least, legal limits are set on the amount of rat poo permissible in foodstuffs! Some cultures turn the tables on the rat and bite back. Barbecued rats are on the menu in countries such as Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. As the saying goes (sort of); if you can’t beat them, eat them!

I’ve had the displeasure of rats in my home although, I hasten to add, not on a dinner plate! During refurbishments to a bathroom our builder failed to properly block up a gap where the drain pipe exits the wall. A couple of rats soon exploited the hole, which only needs to be as big as their skull to allow them to squeeze in. Following their noses in search of all the food they could no doubt smell inside our home, the pair got into our house and under the bathroom floor. One subsequently found its way into our kitchen, probably through the wall cavity and began rummaging noisily for food. This proved to be a foolish move as my partner, enraged by the sight of a rat in our kitchen, soon cornered and killed it with a swift blow to its head with a broom! Its partner must have heard the commotion and died of fright for it never emerged from under the bathroom – that is not until we were forced to disconnect the plumbing, move the bath and lift up the floor to rid ourselves of the very smelly rotting rat carcass. The moral of this story is to make sure you don’t leave routes for rats to enter your home as the consequences of an infestation could be very ugly.

We called in a rat catcher who came with that most traditional of rat catching tools – a Jack Russell hound! This little mutt soon tracked the rats back to a large and well established nest under the garden shed. Acting upon the intel garnered from his faithful hound, the rat catcher man laid poison and the rats were never seen again.

Rats don’t just eat what we think of as food. They can chew their way through all manner of things, many of them expensive to replace or even dangerous. Rats chomping electrical cabling could cause fires or even electrical shock when the insulation is bitten away. Rats can munch through wood and it is said that they can even work their way through copper and aluminium. Estimates put global damage to property by rats at a staggering $19 billion, illustrating just how serious a problem this prodigious little rodent has become. Although rats keep themselves very clean, they are implicated in the carrying and spread of disease – most famously they were hosts to the fleas that spread the Black Death, bubonic plague

Controlling rat numbers is difficult. They breed extremely prolifically, one pair can multiply into 200 individuals within a year and they will think nothing of indulging in incest to help keep numbers up. Their propensity to breed would mean nothing though without a food supply as baby rats can only grow up and breed their own families if they’ve got plenty to eat. Rats are opportunists and we can’t blame them for being so prolific when it is us that constantly gifts them such great opportunities to survive and thrive.

As well as ensuring rats can’t get into your house you should take steps outside to discourage them. Don’t leave open bins or unprotected bin bags around. Keep your drains clean, have them rodded regularly to stop any rat attracting waste building up inside them. If you suspect you have a rat problem seek professional advice quickly otherwise you’ll be giving them a chance to reproduce rapidly and even damage your property.

The Rats Are Never Far Away is a post from: deBugged - The Rentokil Blog

Unseasonably warm winters mean insects that go dormant for the winter stay active. It means insects will breed earlier than usual, supported by accelerated life cycles; also due to warmer temperatures. Ticks, for example, are likely to start the phone ringing sooner than anyone would want due to their resiliency and a biology that supports activity in months most of us relax our tick prevention efforts. (Remember, treat your pets and your home year round for year round protection.) While we cannot control what mother nature does as she drops two-feet of snow in October, or  as you walk the dog in shorts January 14th (it was 68 degrees), you can protect your home and family from pests year round and be prepared for the unexpected twists and turns the weather is going to throw at you.

Mild winters also mean more rodent activity. Rodents that moved into structures in the fall for warmth, while happy with their new surroundings, could mean that rodent populations increase instead of decreasing as they should in colder months. More importantly, populations can quickly surge in the spring bringing ticks, fleas and other parasites that rodents carry along for the ride. Not a good scenario for pets or humans alike.

So if you’re noticing the odd fly or ants sporadically throughout the winter, or if the mouse activity you suspected suddenly ceases to make itself known, brace yourself. Spring’s true measure of pest activity now begins with winter’s puzzling display of climatic oddities.

How Mild Winters Affect Pests is a post from: deBugged - The Rentokil Blog

The Segestria florentina spider is one of Europe’s largest spiders, and has been sighted in south facing stone walls in Cornwall. The females can reach 22mm. You may have never seen one because it hides deep in cracks of buildings, waiting for an insect for supper. It weaves a web with six or more silken lines. The spider touches each line with its legs (so that’s why they have so many legs!) They may be horribly ugly but we love them here at Rentokil because they feast on flies, moths, cockroaches and wasps. Unfortunately you would need a LOT of Segestria florentina spider’s to keep an infestation in check. With cannibalistic tendancies they are also not the most sociable of creatures. The baby spiderlings are an ungrateful bunch eating their mother soon after birth.

In this superb video by PetePage you can see Segestria florentina rejecting a woodlouse (they dislike the taste) and very quickly pouncing on a fly.

As for my house spiders… they are still in the house somewhere, hiding in cracks and crevices. It’s only in the Autumn the spider invasion occurs because it’s mating season; the males creep out looking for the females to mate with. The cold weather slows the outdoor spiders down and eventually they become dormant but then when the weather warms I hope it will not turn out to be an annus horribilis.

Where Do Spiders Go In Winter? is a post from: deBugged - The Rentokil Blog

What are Silverfish?

Silverfish have flat elongated bodies about a third to three quarters of an inch in length. They’re unable to fly due to their lack of wings but compensate for this by being able to move incredibly quickly. They’re also nocturnal so you’re unlikely to sight them during the day.

You may be unsure as to why they really enjoy loitering in your bathroom, why don’t they watch TV in the living room or nestle in the voluptuous folds of your bedding? The fact is they love damp conditions, so your bathroom is the perfect habitat for them (particularly if you enjoy long soaks on a regular basis).

Preventing Silverfish Appearing

As the old saying goes, prevention is better than cure so before you and the creepy critters start brushing your teeth together, you need to devise a plan to keep them out of your home.

Due to silverfishes’ addiction to moisture, the most effective way of preventing them is to ventilate your bathroom properly during and after showering. Always open your window whilst showering, even if it’s only slightly, to let the steam out before it starts to turn into condensation and dampen the walls. Extractor fans are also effective at clearing the steam, particularly if you don’t like opening the window whilst showering, and can prevent mold and mildew developing too.

Believe it or not, silverfish are rather shy creatures, which is why they choose to hide in the most awkward of places through the day. The more junk you have in your bathroom the more hiding places you’re providing them with. Wet towels to silverfish are like mansions to humans, if you leave them strewn on the bathroom floor the silverfish will be moving in faster than you can say “pest control”.

Cracks in walls and skirting boards are also popular hang-outs for silverfish. Get your hands dirty with a spot of DIY and seal them properly to eradicate another one of their common hiding places.

How can I get rid of Silverfish?

If you’re unfortunate enough to already be inundated with the microscopic monsters then you’ll need to take quick action to force these imposters out of your home. If you see more silverfish than people on an average day however, you will need to call pest control experts as you may have an infestation problem which needs to be taken care of. Check in other rooms for signs of silverfish activity too, they’re most commonly sighted at the back of cupboards and drawers.

Some homeowners have found that wiping the walls with a solution of bleach and water has helped them to eliminate their silverfish problem. This can also eradicate bathroom mould too, which is a feast for silverfish as well as unsightly in your bathroom. There are insecticide sprays which you can purchase too, to finally enjoy your bathroom alone.
