in hereford & mid wales
The following list represents those pests most commonly reported to Surepest from across Hereford, Mid Wales, the West Midlands and Forest of Dean.
Linked from each you'll find a page dedicated to that particular pest including; signs to look out for, the principle methods of control and a guide to the likely costs.
wasps & hornets
Both wasps and hornets thrive in warmer temperatures. The dryest spring on record has lead to earlier nest construction and larger colonies. . . factors that have dramatically increased the incidence of wasp or hornet infestation across Herefordshire, Gloucester and Mid Wales.

wasp nests
During the summer and autumn months, Surepest receive more requests for wasp nest removal than any other pest control service. . . with the possible exception of mole catching!
Surepest can affordably treat and remove the nest of a wasp or hornet colony, anywhere on your property. A warning; due to the aggressive nature of wasps and hornets. . . and their capacity to sting multiple times in a swarm, Sureprest strongly recommends you do NOT disturb or attempt to remove a wasp nest yourself.

rats & mice
Once in your property (domestic, commercial or agricultural), rats and mice introduce parasites like fleas, lice and ticks that can cause serious illnesses. Just a single breeding pair of rats will shed more than a million body hairs every year and can leave 50,000 droppings!
Noise (especially at night) is often the first indication of an infestation, so any tell-tale nocturnal sounds should be investigated quickly to mitigate the serious damage that these rodent pests can cause.

flies & insects
Using a professional insect pest control service such as Pestsure in Hereford is the most effective way to guarantee the complete removal of flies from your property.
Cluster flies in particular can be very distressing when they suddenly appear in their thousands during the autumn (and, due in part to a warming climate, occasionally in the spring).
