With Local Authorities in Wales considering plans to introduce monthly domestic waste collections, we are left wondering whether England will follow suit. In plans expected to increase recycling rates by reducing the frequency of waste collections, Local Authorities expect to generate savings at a time when many are struggling to balance the books. But householders, many of whom are expecting to see council tax increases in 2018, are up in arms about the proposals. At PGM & Son we fully support recycling, however, reducing waste collections needs careful thought and planning. In particular, to avoid the very real risk of a significant increase in fly tipping as people struggle to fit 4 weeks’ worth of waste into one wheelie bin. And, if a collection is missed (for example, due to the bad weather we experienced recently), that could mean a wait of 8 weeks before the waste is removed, posing a serious risk to both our wildlife and the environment. As the warmer weather approaches, an increased risk of pests is also likely. To eradicate and remove your rodents, call PGM & Son Positive Pest Control Hereford now on 07964 370480

Pest advice for controlling Rats There are two species of rat in Britain, Rattus Norvegicus which is commonly known as the Brown Rat or Common Rat. The Rattus Rattus, referred to as the Black Rat or Ship Rat is now rarely found in the UK. Why control Rats? Rats carry many nasty diseases which they can spread to humans, normally through their urine, including; Leptospirosis or Weil's disease, Salmonella, Listeria, Toxoplasma gondii and Hantavirus. Rats can inflict an enormous amount of structural damage. They can cause severe fires by gnawing away the insulation around electrical cables, floods by puncturing pipes and even death by chewing through gas pipes. The insurance sector has estimated that rodent damage to wiring is responsible for 25% of all electrical fires in buildings. Rats can ruin an organisation's reputation. If clients and customers spot evidence of rodent infestation in the premises you manage, they are unlikely to want to do business with you. Property owners have a legal obligation under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 to keep premises rodent free, or, if rodents pose a threat to health or property, to report infestations to the local authority. Sign of Rats – Things to watch out for The presence of rats in or around your home can be determined by a number of signs: Rats live in close association with people. In urban or suburban areas they live in and around residences, in cellars, warehouses, stores and in sewers. On farms they may inhabit barns, granaries, livestock buildings, silos, and kennels. They may burrow to make nests under buildings and other structures, beneath concrete slabs, along stream banks, around ponds, in garbage dumps, and at other locations where suitable food, water, and shelter are present. Although they can climb, rats tend to inhabit the lower floors of buildings. Food Habits & how to prevent rats invading your personal space Rats will eat nearly any type of food. When given a choice, they select a nutritionally balanced diet, choosing fresh, wholesome items over stale or contaminated foods. They prefer cereal grains, meats and fish, nuts, and some types of fruit. Food items in household garbage offer a fairly balanced diet and also satisfy their moisture needs. Eliminate any harbourage points such as sealing gaps around pipes and under sheds; rats only need a gap of 15mm to gain entry. Remove potential nesting sites by keeping yards and gardens clean and tidy, by cutting back overgrown areas and clearing any piles of wood/debris. Ensure that drain inspection covers are in a good state of repair. Cover any household waste where rats can get access to it, close dustbin lids and cover compost heaps. If you feed garden birds, do not do this to excess and use a bird table or feeder basket if possible. Check; Does your house insurance cover rat infestation or rodent damage?

PGM & Son provides preventative pest control services for residents of Herefordshire. Our staff are specially trained in performing comprehensive household inspections. The best advice, however, is to not wait until you’re experiencing pest infestations. The damage they can do to your home and the well-being of your family can be devastating. The best approach is to prevent pests from ever getting a foothold in your home. PGM & Son provides preventative pest control services for residents and commercial businesses of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and South Wales. ​ Our exterminators are specially trained in performing comprehensive household inspections. The best advice, however, is to not wait until you’re experiencing pest infestations. The damage they can do to your home and the well-being of your family can be devastating. The best approach is to prevent pests from ever getting a foothold in your home. Once they gain entry to your home, insects and rodents gnaw through wood, wires, and drywall, gradually but inevitably leaving no small amount of destruction in their wake. Even their nesting—in dark, warm, often moist crevices—typically results in rotten wood and mold growth, either or both of which undermine the integrity and longevity of your home. There's one silver lining in all this. The measures you need to take to minimise the likelihood of an infestation are the very same measures you should take to maximize the energy efficiency of your home. That is, in one fell swoop, you can pest-proof your home and help lower your monthly utility bills. It all comes down to this: In a tightly sealed, properly protected home, warm air stays indoors while cold air—and pests—stay out. One caveat is that even if you consider your home to be well defended against both drafts and pests, it may not remain that way throughout the long winter. The whipping winds, freezing rains, and falling snow that characterise winter storms create just the sort of vulnerabilities that pests capitalize on. Extreme weather puts chinks in the armor of your home in the form of the occasional blown-off shingle or a foundation crack caused by freeze-thaw cycles. If not repaired, these weak spots can lead to pest problems. #pestcontrolhereford
