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.
