pest control

Following extensive trials, Cleankill Pest Control is now using a special non-toxic gel as part of its armoury against pest birds. 

The Bird Free gel reflects ultraviolet light and appears to birds as flames and keeps pest birds off structures without harming them. Rather than acting as a barrier like netting or spikes, the gel alters birds’ behaviour. Birds will completely desert a habitat, even one they have been using for years, once Bird Free has been applied.

We're looking forward to meeting lots of facilities managers and telling them about products such as Bird Free gel and our range of electric fly killers. We're also going to get people to try eating dried insects and take a photo of their faces when they are doing it. The best photo at the end of the three days will win a bottle of champagne. Look out for the selfies on our Facebook page. We're on Stand R1360 at the Facilities Show which takes place on 17-19 June 2014.

Property managers are being urged to check their pigeon netting now before the birds pest controllers call ‘flying rats’ settle in for the peak nesting periods of Spring and Summer.

Facilities managers and property managers are being urged to check their bird netting following the recent high winds and stormy weather.

Cleankill Pest Control's Paul Bates says: “Birds can easily become tangled and trapped in damaged proofing which not only causes them distress but can lead to further damage to the netting. Holes in netting will also allow birds to get through and set up home.”

If staff in top-floor offices are complaining about flies – or your loft space is overrun with insects – it’s probably cluster flies.

With the weather set to stay warm and people planning barbecues, pest control experts are warning people to be extra careful about wasps which are now at their most aggressive and dangerous.

Seagulls have got their revenge on a Sussex pest controller by causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage to his new car. Jon Whitehead, who lives in Seaford, East Sussex, and is a director at Cleankill Pest Control, returned from holiday to find seagulls had used his estate car for target practise.

Last week we dealt with two horrific cases of bed bugs. It’s difficult to understand why landlords or letting agents would knowingly, especially in the first case, let out a property when there is a bed-bug infestation.
