It’s getting late in the year, it’s chilly out of doors and we’re trying to hide inside for heat. And we’re certainly not the only ones. Insects and pests are more readily associated with the warmer weather of summer, but it’s when it gets cold that lots of the problems begin. Mice, rats and even some insects need to stay warm and your nice, snug, centrally heated office is just the sort of place to find it.
Rodent infestation increase dramatically in the autumn and winter months, and surprisingly they can occur in both towns and the countryside. Rats and mice are drawn to sources of food just as much as warmth and the incredible quantities of garbage found in cities and towns such as London mean there is plenty on offer for them there. A simple technique to lessen the probability of infestation is to ensure your trash isn’t left out for days on end or otherwise is placed in a secure rubbish bin. Otherwise, the rats will discover it, start multiplying and you may quickly find an infestation on your hands.
Rodents have a sense of smell many times as strong as a human's. Like many mammals, smells and scents are vital to their survival, because they use their pee to mark out territory, objects and tracks. One can deter rodents by laying down strong odours. Mothballs are a basic and effective choice, although the potent aroma can be unpleasant for we human beings too.Hence it’s a treatment best suited to out-of-the way locations that are liable to infestation, such as attics, cellars and sheds or even caravans and campers which may very well end up being left uninhabited over the winter months.
Wasps are normally a summer problem, but the recent hot weather means that a large number of wasps are staying active a lot longer than is usual. Those nests that remain outdoors are unlikely to survive the first frost, but those inside - hidden away in attics, sheds or barns - can easily survive into October and November. The new queen will ordinarily have left the nest at the end of the summer, but those wasps left behind will continue to look for food. Like a lot of us, they can get a bit tipsy as Christmas draws near, as often the only food available is rotting fruit that has started to ferment. Unfortunately, many wasps can be at their most dangerous at this time of year; as the hunt for food becomes more and more difficult, the insects can become ever more aggressive. Just like rats and mice you can lower your chances of attracting wasps by not leaving food out for longer than is necessary. If there are just one or two wasps about, a trap could be sufficient to deal with them, but the best method is to simply wait for them to fly away.
Winter brings its own difficulties in terms of unwanted pests, but to be informed is to be prepared. You can find any number of small, preventative measures you can take to reduce the chances of pest infestations, but keep in mind dealing with an established colony directly is a problem best left to the professionals. And remember, it might not just be you who’s keeping warm in your home this winter.
