How Do I Know I Have A Wasp Nest
If you see wasps entering or leaving a hole in an area like the ground, wall, roof or any other part of a building then you probably have a wasp nest. You may be seeing wasps inside your house which may indicate a nest nearby.
Do not be tempted to block the hole up, this is the worse thing you can do as it could make the wasps aggressive and they will find another entrance & may even come inside the house.

Seeds For our pollinators
Mice can at times be vermin, damaging and eating crops, causing structural damage, chewing electrical wires, and spreading diseases through their parasites and droppings.
Signs to look out for include:
Mouse droppings.
Rodents tracks.
Rodent sightings.
Gnawed food and Damage to the fabric of the building.
Problem with Garden Moles
When moles suddenly appear it may be due to the weather, the condition of lawn, or in some cases access from a neighbours garden as they have not got a mole trapper in . There could be consistent food source in the garden from worms. This is why a initial Environmental Risk Assessment will take place and any relevant factors recorded:
Access.
Level of infestation
How widespread is the infestation
Squirrel problem
Have you heard something rustling in your loft then it could be squirrels?. As adorable as squirrels are they can be a destructive pest to have in your home due to chewed wires and sofits to allow entry.
How Do I Know I Have A Wasp Nest
Signs may include:
• Many wasps entering and exiting one location (known as their flight path)
• Wasps visible on the outside of the nest
• A dull buzzing/clicking sound
The nest can be seen especially if it is in the loft or in a bush in the garden. This will usually appear as a grey ball which can range from the size of a golf ball (Starter Nest) to the size of a football. If the wasps have a productive summer the nest size can be substantial in size.
Do not be tempted to block the hole up, this is the worse thing you can do as it could make the wasps aggressive and they will find another entrance & may even come inside the house.
In the last few years due to more people staying and working from home due to covid Shire Pest Solutions has noticed a huge rise in the number of rat call outs we have received in the Didcot and Wallingford areas. The reason for this is as we said before is people working from home and hearing and seeing more wildlife on their property.
Some of the most common points of entry are through Broken drains, plastic air bricks that have been chewed through, burrowing under the footings and finding an entry point and adjoining roof areas among many others.
If you should have any concerns about rodents like rats entering your premises Shire Pest Solutions is to offer advice and any treatment needed to determine all potential entry points.
