Where Do Spiders Go In Winter?

Alicia for rentokil.co.uk | January 26, 2012

The big fat house spiders which terrorised me throughout Autumn have now vanished. They would creep out after dark and scuttle across the carpet. I haven’t sighted a single spider since Christmas. Not even a web. This worries me. Where are they hiding? Are they staring at me with four pairs of eyes beneath the bookshelf. At least I only have the common house spider to worry about. Read More »

Silverfish Prevention and Cure

Guest for rentokil.co.uk | January 25, 2012

After a long hard day’s work you take to the bath for a well-deserved soak accompanied with the tipple of your choice. This would be an excellent way to end the day except for the fact you get the feeling someone’s watching you. This peeping tom however, can see you a lot better than you can see him and the scary thing is, he isn’t looking at you from the outside through your window… This critter is in your bathroom with you, hiding in the cracks and crevices, watching you as you lather.

The Year of the Rabbit has departed and in the east and many other parts of the world the day started with a bang from a firecracker or two to celebrate the Year of the Water Dragon.

A new pest species perhaps? Let’s hope jumping cockroaches don’t decide to invade our homes and premises. For those in business, it’s a year to seize opportunities for new conquests, greater profitability, and company growth. Read More »

Image of Mouse Thank You Choices for pest control are rarely considered when things are quiet and the absence of things that go bump in the night, or the telltale sign of spiders or other bugs are curiously absent from our lives. We’ve all been there. You see the first trail of ants and you get out the ant spray or vinegar. Maybe you found droppings in your pantry and set a snap trap. Whatever the pest, and whatever the circumstances, you’re in the majority if your initial reaction is to do-it-yourself. So you go to your local big-box hardware store and you arm yourself with chemicals, sprays, baits and medieval looking traps and devices. Ready to do battle to the bitter end.
