Bee Removal
If you’ve found a bees nest in your attic or garden, you might think you’re stuck with it. But contrary to what many believe, bees are not protected and you can have the nests treated. However, since bees are endangered, we do our best to explore every avenue of bee removal before eradication. We have removed countless nests across Shrewsbury.
Wasp Nests
When it comes to wasps and hornets, extreme care is required in dealing with the infestation. A small mistake while trying to get rid of the infestation yourself may leave you badly stung, at times even requiring an unwanted trip to the hospital. Leave the task of hornet and wasp nest removal to the experts at 1st Call Contract Pest Control.
Mice and Rodents
Rat and mice infestations aren’t just unpleasant, they are dangerous. Mice and rats carry disease and breed at an extremely high rate, posing a serious risk to your home. If you’ve noticed greasy marks on your floors and walls, small droppings, or small holes in your walls, you likely have a mouse or rat problem that our team will need to come in to take care of.
Ant Control
If you think ants are harmless insects, you may want to reconsider that thought. During the summer months, ants usually move indoors to find food. Thus, it is common to see ant trails around the interiors of your property. Not only do they quickly infest and contaminate food, they also end up taking away tiny bits of food to their nest outside.
