How do I know if I have a wasp nest?

Signs of a wasp nest include many wasps entering and exiting one location, visible wasps on the outside of the nest, and a dull buzzing or clicking sound. The nest itself, often found in lofts or garden bushes, looks like a grey ball and can range in size from a golf ball to a football. Do not block the entrance to the nest as it can make the wasps aggressive and they may find another way into your home.

What should I do if I suspect a rat problem?

If you suspect a rat problem, look for common entry points such as broken drains, chewed plastic air bricks, burrowing under footings, and adjoining roof areas. With more people working from home, sightings have increased. Contact Shire Pest Solutions for advice and treatment to address all potential entry points and effectively control the rat population on your property.

Are your technicians certified and insured?

Yes, all our technicians are certified to a Level 2 standard and fully insured.
