| Q. Should you tackle
pest problems yourself?
There are hundreds of products available over the counter at most DIY
stores and so it would seem easy to tackle problems yourself, but are
you aware of the pitfalls involved? Rats and mice carry a variety of diseases
and if not treated properly could lead to health risks. You really should
call in a professional to carry out this work and the best option is to
choose one who is registered with the British Pest Control Association.
Q. I have a wasp's nest, should I tackle it myself?
Trying to deal with a wasp's nest yourself is dangerous and could prove
expensive to your health and your pocket! In late summer wasps change
their eating habits and are attracted to sweet sugary foods which brings
them more into contact with humans. Unlike bees, wasps do not die after
a stinging attack and can sting more than once. Their stings are painful
and could lead to anaphylactic shock leading to some 12 fatalities a year.
If you are still in doubt then read this first;
There is a true story of a man who found a wasp's nest in his loft and
sprayed it with a fly spray, this only irritated the wasps and minutes
later he was faced with hundreds of angry wasps and in his haste to retreat
he fell through the ceiling. The repairs came to over £500 and in
the end he had to call in a pest control professional.
