Pests

Pests are vermin which can carry disease harmful to humans, and include wasps, bees, fleas, bed bugs, mice, rats, cockroaches, feral pigeons, and ants. Keeping your home and communal areas clear and disposing of waste responsibly will help to limit the chances of pest infestation in your home and in communal areas. A lack of upkeep can cause pest infestation and escalate the problem, making it difficult to eradicate and stop the pests entirely. 

Pest problems are unpleasant in the home – and it’s important to deal with them as soon as possible to stop infestations getting worse.
