Pest Control – Rodents and Small Mammals
How to Recognise a Rodent Problem
Often, rodents aren’t actually seen, but there are many signs of a problem which should be acted on quickly before the issue spirals.
scratching – often in wall cavities or lofts. Another common warning sign is the presence of droppings, or urine – which can have a distinctive smell. In the case of rats or mice, it’s common to hear sounds such as Left unchecked, mice and rats can cause surprising amounts of damage to a property – a favourite habit is gnawing through electrical cabling!
Squirrels tend to be less shy than many small pests, and will often be quite visible, as well as highly-destructive. Moles, on the other hand, are hardly ever seen, but their presence is well advertised by the distinctive ‘mole hills’ they create in gardens and lawns!
If you have (or suspect you have) a problem, it’s important to act quickly. Rodents and small mammals typically have very short gestation periods – meaning that they can multiply quickly, and a single pair can fast become a major infestation.
At Combat Pest Solutions we can detect the location of small pests using technology such as thermal imaging cameras, then use traps, rodenticide, or humane removal techniques to solve the problem.

Pest Control – Flying Insects
How to Recognize a Flying Insect Problem
Flying insects are typically quite visible, and are most active during daylight hours (with the exception of moths). Wasps are the most common flying insect to necessitate a pest control call-out service, owing to their painful sting, and potentially aggressive natures – particularly when defending a nest.
Bees are more reluctant to sting than wasps (since they typically die after stinging), but can also become aggressive if disturbed. Children or pets may be especially susceptible to being stung – particularly if they disturb a nest. Bee stings are often more severe than wasp stings and may provoke a serious allergic response.
Moths are a more discreet variety of pest – but the damage they cause is often obvious. The clothes moth can feed on fabrics such as clothing, curtains, and upholstery, potentially causing significant harm if left unchecked.
Our trained, professional pest control technicians can resolve your wasp, bee, fly, or moth problem – and we also deal with all varieties of crawling insects!

Pest Control – Insects
How to Recognize an Insect Problem
There are many forms of insects that can cause issues in either residential homes or commercial premises…
There are several varieties of ants – which are often visible moving along set foraging routes, and which also create raised nests which can be damaging to lawns. Ants have a painful bite and can also spread germs if they find their way into a kitchen or food storage area.
Cockroaches are often encountered by our professional pest control technicians. These are relatively large insect pests and are easily spotted when in the open. They are voracious eaters and will consume just about anything – often causing significant damage to valued contents such as stored paperwork and books!
One of the most damaging pests is also one you’re least likely to ever see – the woodworm. Woodworms are notorious for causing significant damage to properties by eating their way through structural timbers. The small holes and fine dust they create are tell-tale signs!
Fortunately, our team of licensed pest control technicians can eradicate woodworm as well as many more insect pests – including all of those listed here, and more!
