We are receiving an increase in bedbugs problems, due to people travelling more in their work and socially. Ring to discuss any problems you may have, remember this is not an indication of cleanliness of your home or personnel hygiene.

Paul Toplass - 22nd March 2010

We're close to finishing our busiest time of the year, and we've been taken aback by the numbers of businesses talking about their 'Scores on the Doors' and how many stars they've got. Some Councils have been running a star rating system for a while now and it is starting to hit home to some businesses now how important their reputation is. This seems to become more of an issue when a local newspaper runs a Freedom of Information request form a Council to find the best and worst premises. I'll be doing a talk on the impact of the Scores on the Doors next month in Loughborough. In the mean time, if any business would like our help to get the best star rating then please ring me on 07976 366510.

Dealing with Moles 24/7, in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire

In rural areas especially, moles can cause great damage to your garden/land by tunnelling through the soil, up to inches below the surface. With heavy infestations, the ground can become unstable and holes may appear not only damaging the foundations of your land but also creating safety risks.

Moles tunnel using their large two front paws to scrape away the earth and feel along tunnels with their snouts and whiskers. Because of the absence of light within their living conditions, moles have very poor eyesight so very rarely will you see mole activity above ground.

Remedy: Professional pest control is needed to obtain control of these pests. Methods such as tunnel trapping, gassing (Aluminium Phosphates) and even shooting (least likely method of control) can be used by a professional to control these pests. Tunnel trapping must be done with care as moles can easily detect disturbance of the tunnel and will avoid the area.
