It’s been another productive week, with new contract discussions continuing as we look to expand the commercial side of the business, while also keeping busy solving pest issues for our domestic customers.

The week also took us up in the MEWP for a bird proofing job, with a pretty impressive view to start the morning! 🏗️

A big thank you to all our existing customers and everyone who continues to support Heron Pest Solutions. We’re looking forward to what’s ahead!

What to expect from pests in September!

WASPS start to become irritated due to the queen slowing down laying therefore the natural food source created by the larvae becomes scarce so they start looking for other food sources, protiens and sugary foods = disrupted picnics as ham butties, sugary drinks and cider are real targets!!

RODENTS realise the weather is changiing and getting colder, rodents start looking for warmth, food and nesting sites. Often found in lofts and wall cavities as your insulated areas become home!

BIRD PROOFING Nesting season is over and chicks have fledged/flown the nest, NOW IS THE TIME TO PROOF YOUR SOLAR PANELS and LOFT ACCESS to stop nesting birds ruining your investments next spring!

INSECTS such as cluster flies, fleas, bed bugs & carpet beetles become more prominent in September as cooler weather drives many insects indoors or into high-activity breeding phases

🦸‍♂️ What have we been up to lately?

Safe to say it’s been a busy one at Heron Pest Solutions!

We’ve been up in lofts carrying out hygiene cleans, dealing with rats and mice, evicting wasps, tackling bed bugs and showing fleas the door. 🐀🐭🐝🪳

The best thing about this job is how versatile it is. One day you’re crawling around a loft covered in dust and droppings, the next you’re hunting down a wasp nest or dealing with some very unwelcome house guests!

No two days are the same and that’s exactly how we like it.

Here’s a few snaps from some of our recent jobs 👇

Chatting with other pest controllers locally, wasp season has not been anywhere near as intense as last year, however the nests we have been out to recently are getting pretty large!!

Wasps are necessary to our local eco system, they are great pollinators and also keep other insects at bay in the spring and summer months....but in August/September they get a bad wrap.....Why?

What happens in late August? Let us help you understand a wasps life in late summer.

✅The queen slows down egg laying, reducing larvae numbers
✅Workers have less to do with less larvae to look after and become restless
✅There are less natural food sources towards the end of August
✅The colony starts to die off which means behaviour becomes erratic and nest order collapses
✅Late Aug/Sept they are very erratic, starving and crave sugar.
✅So they end up in your pint, coke, orange juice & ice cream

What to do now!
✅Stay vigilant the nests are growing in roof spaces, facias, sheds, garages, play areas, underground in the garden etc
✅If you find a nest despite all the Facebook helpers that offer 'how to' advice DO NOT attempt to irradicate the nest yourself!
✅Although meaning well this can lead to multiple stings to you, neighbours, pets etc and the potential of anaphylactic shock. 1 sting hurts a bit, 20 stings is a world of pain and medical emergency!!
✅Call a professional they have the knowledge to tackle all eventualities and nest locations, the necessary protective clothing and nest treatments as not every nest is approached the same.

Don't take the risk contact Heron Pest Solutions below.
