ARQUIVISTA

Fala de novo, por favor.

JORDAN

Como é?

Arquivista: O que você acabou de dizer, pode dizer de novo pra eu gravar?

Jordan: Ah, ok. A Jane Prentiss está morta.

Arquivista: Você tem certeza? Completamente.

Jordan: Sim. Eu assisti à incineração.

Arquivista: E não teve nenhuma... complicação?

Jordan: Tipo... o quê?

Arquivista: Vermes que sobreviveram e escaparam? Uh, o corpo se movimentando durante a incineração, ou fazendo ruídos, como gritos ou cantorias? Sentiu algo estranho, tipo mil coisinhas rastejantes se movendo na sua pele?

Jordan: Uau. Não, nada do gênero. Só o cheiro, mas, quer dizer, eu vou chegar lá. Correu tudo bem. Não sobrou nada além das cinzas que eu entreguei ao seu amigo. Uma coisa que eu não deveria ter feito, a propósito, então não fale pra ninguém.

Arquivista: Claro. E obrigado.

Jordan: Claro.

Arquivista: Mas já se passaram meses. Por que você decidiu prestar um depoimento só agora?

Jordan: Não foi só... não foi só queimar o corpo dela. Eu também fui o primeiro a ser chamado pra lidar com o ninho no antigo apartamento dela.

Arquivista: Ah...

Jordan: É. Mas eu estive pensando em algumas coisas, juntando algumas peças, e eu pensei que, bom, vocês provavelmente deveriam saber.

Arquivista: Certo. Bom, começa do começo, de onde quer que você se sinta confortável. Depoimento de Jordan Kennedy a respeito de...?

Jordan: Várias coisas estranhas que eu encontrei enquanto trabalhava com controle de pragas.

Arquivista: Depoimento gravado diretamente do indivíduo em 3 de novembro de 2016.

Início do depoimento.

JORDAN (DEPOIMENTO)

Trabalho como exterminador há mais de 10 anos. Eu deveria dizer controlador de pragas, na verdade — o BPCA geralmente desaconselha o uso da palavra com "e". Eles acham que soa um pouco desagradável demais; prejudica nossa imagem pública. Eu nunca me importei. Quer dizer, eu acho que dá pra dizer que matar coisas é meio que exercer um controle sobre elas, mas eu sempre senti que tentar higienizar meu trabalho é um pouco desonesto. Tipo tentar ajudar as pessoas a esquecerem que o que elas estão realmente fazendo é encomendar a morte de criaturas que consideramos muito nojentas ou insalubres pra viverem. Isso precisa ser feito, não me entenda mal, e fico feliz em fazer, mas não é meu trabalho segurar as mãos das pessoas e fazê-las se sentirem melhor com isso.

Já trabalhei em lugares por Londres inteira — principalmente grandes prédios comerciais onde tenho que trabalhar à noite enquanto todos os banqueiros e afins já foram pra casa. Armar armadilhas, colocar caixas de veneno; o de sempre. Casas residenciais não me chamam tanto pra cuidar de ratos e camundongos, principalmente se for um lugar alugado. A maioria dos proprietários não se dão o trabalho de pagar por esse tipo de serviço ou tentam lidar com a situação por conta própria.

Mas recebo um monte de chamadas sobre percevejos. Esses desgraçados são um inferno de eliminar, e é claro que no verão temos que lidar com vários ninhos de vespas. Adicione uma porção generosa de baratas, formigas e às vezes até pássaros ou raposas e você vai ter uma boa ideia do que consiste a minha vida profissional. Bem normal.

Recebi meu primeiro chamado estranho cinco anos atrás. Eram formigas — ou, pelo menos, foi o que me disseram. Lá em Bromley. A casa em si parecia uma casa suburbana bem normal. Talvez um pouco mais degradada do que a de seus vizinhos, mas nada particularmente incomum nisso, principalmente já que eles estavam me chamando. Não tinha carro na garagem e as persianas estavam todas fechadas apesar do sol de verão. Parecia que não havia ninguém em casa.

Descobri mais tarde que na verdade foi uma das vizinhas que me ligou, uma mulher chamada Laura Star, mas naquele momento eu ainda esperava ser recebido por alguém na casa. Eu bati na porta, mas obviamente não obtive resposta.

Eu sempre uso luvas quando estou trabalhando e quando olhei pra minha mão notei um brilho muito fraco onde o couro fino tocou a madeira. Parecia ser algum tipo de resíduo oleoso. Eu estava me sentindo menos confortável com o trabalho a cada segundo. Eu não conseguia ouvir nada lá dentro, então eu bati de novo. A mulher que me contratou tinha dito que eu podia só entrar, mas eu não queria simplesmente entrar sem avisar.

Depois de alguns segundos de silêncio, tentei a maçaneta e, claro, a porta se abriu. Não havia luzes acesas lá dentro e o lugar parecia quase completamente vazio de móveis. Eu conseguia ver um leve movimento no chão de madeira enquanto procurava o interruptor de luz. Logo o encontrei e acendi pra revelar exatamente o que eu esperava. Formigas. Eu só não esperava tantas. E havia muitas delas. Até hoje eu nunca vi tantas formigas dentro de um prédio ao mesmo tempo. Devia haver milhares cobrindo o chão e correndo pelas paredes.

Eu puxei minha mão pra longe do interruptor de luz quando notei dezenas delas rastejando ao redor dele. Até mesmo a lâmpada parecia estar envolta por elas fazendo com que a luz na sala fosse coberta com uma sombra trêmula. A casa em si não parecia estar muito melhor. Onde quer que houvesse um espaço entre as formigas eu podia ver aquela mesma podridão oleosa e não conseguia deixar de pensar que o prédio estava doente de alguma forma.

Bem, eu já vi muita coisa nojenta nesse trabalho, mas acho que aquele momento foi um dos mais intensos. Eu fugi por um momento de volta pra minha van pra decidir qual seria o meu próximo passo. Normalmente, eu deixaria alguma isca venenosa pra elas levarem até a colônia e eliminaria o problema pela raiz, mas uma infestação tão ruim como aquela, bem, aquilo não aparece do nada.

Eu precisava ter uma noção de com o que exatamente eu estava lidando. Mesmo da rua eu conseguia ver um fluxo constante correndo pra fora da porta aberta e ao longo do degrau. Eu me preparei com spray de pesticida e fui dar uma olhada mais de perto. Eu normalmente não usaria spray em formigas, mas aquilo não era normal, e a fórmula que eu estava usando funcionava muito bem em formigas. Dito isto, eu realmente não vi nenhuma delas morrer. Eu não esperava que isso acontecesse imediatamente, de qualquer maneira, e o importante é que onde quer que eu borrifasse elas fugiam, abrindo um caminho no chão desbotado pra eu andar.

Foi demorado, mas passei a maior parte do andar térreo assim e não vi nada além de mais formigas. Sem pessoas, sem móveis — nada. Pelo menos até eu chegar na cozinha e ver a geladeira.

Não tinha mais nada naquela cozinha. Até mesmo a pia tinha sido removida deixando só os canos de água saindo da parede como ossos enferrujados e doentes. Mas encostada na parede oposta havia uma geladeira velha. Sua carcaça que já havia sido branca agora era de um amarelo ictérico e eu não conseguia me livrar da sensação de que estava pulsando suavemente. Formigas gordas, pretas e enormes enxameavam pela fresta da porta e eu não tinha dúvidas de que o que quer que estivesse no centro daquela situação incrivelmente desagradável, estaria naquela geladeira.

Então eu decidi que provavelmente era uma boa ideia sair pra fumar um cigarro antes de abri-la. O ar lá fora parecia muito mais fresco quando saí da casa. Me afastei alguns metros da porta pra não ficar muito perto e acendi o cigarro. Foi quando dei a primeira tragada que vi um carro parar na entrada da garagem. Era um carro pequeno, compacto e vermelho, e a placa parecia indicar que tinha sido comprado no ano anterior. Mas, mesmo assim, pude ver a ferrugem começando a aparecer na tinta perto das bordas do painel.

Observei quando a porta se abriu e um homem saiu de dentro. Ele era alto, talvez um metro e oitenta e cinco, mas era difícil ter certeza de sua estrutura dentro do enorme terno marrom que ele usava. Ele olhou pra mim, depois pra placa no lado da minha van que dizia “Controle de Pragas do Kennedy”, e seu rosto começou a enrugar de raiva.

Dei outra tragada no meu cigarro. Eu estava inquieto com toda a situação e esperando pra ver o que aquele homem esquisito faria. Ele caminhou até mim com passos largos que o aproximaram o suficiente para que eu pudesse ver o brilho insalubre de suor em sua pele. Será que tudo aqui estava doente?

Ele se inclinou muito mais perto do que eu gostaria e exigiu saber o que eu estava fazendo. Eu disse que o proprietário tinha me contratado pra cuidar de uma infestação de formigas e eu estava fazendo uma varredura preliminar. Ele começou a balançar a cabeça violentamente dizendo que ele era o dono da casa, que aquela era a casa dele e que eu não tinha nada que estar ali. Bom, essas não foram as palavras exatas dele. O que ele realmente disse foi que eu não tinha nada que "aplicar meu ofício vil em sua propriedade".

Eu estava prestes a pegar meu telefone e ligar pra mulher que me contratou quando sua mão disparou do nada e me agarrou pela garganta. Ele me levantou do chão com uma força aterrorizante e eu fiquei muito feliz que, mesmo com o capuz abaixado, meu traje de proteção mantinha meu pescoço coberto. Eu conseguia sentir a mão dele através do plástico grosso. Estava quente, como se ele estivesse com uma febre incrivelmente alta, e eu comecei a entrar em pânico.

Ele me segurou lá, a quase trinta centímetros do chão, e minha visão começou a ficar turva quando ele apertou minha garganta. Enquanto lutava pra respirar, me debati procurando por algo pra lutar contra ele e percebi que ainda estava segurando meu isqueiro. Com um nível de compostura que, pensando nisso agora, ainda me surpreende, acendi o isqueiro e o levantei logo abaixo do braço dele.

O resultado foi muito mais dramático do que eu esperava. A manga larga de seu terno marrom acendeu quase imediatamente e, em poucos momentos, todo o braço dele estava em chamas. Ele gritou e me jogou no chão, e quando ele começou a se agitar tentando impedir que o fogo se espalhasse ainda mais por seu corpo, cambaleei até minha van. A essa altura, não importava quem era o verdadeiro dono daquela casa, eu já tava cheio daquele trabalho.

Quando estava entrando na van, eu senti o cheiro. Foi a coisa mais nojenta que eu já encontrei — um cheiro de alguma coisa atropelada cozinhando no sol com suor velho e ovos podres com só uma pitada de borracha queimada. E por baixo de tudo isso havia aquele cheiro indefinível de doença. Sabe aquele cheiro que você sente quando entra numa sala que tem alguém que está doente há vários dias? Não importa quais outros cheiros tenham ali, sob todos eles há aquele cheiro vago, mas inegável, de doença. Era assim que aquele homem cheirava enquanto tentava desesperadamente apagar o fogo de seu corpo.

Eu dirigi pra longe tentando não vomitar e não olhei pra trás. Eu também não chamei a polícia porque senti que eles poderiam não ser muito gentis comigo depois de ter ateado fogo a um homem, mesmo que ele tenha me atacado. Acho que ele também não tenha prestado queixa já que ninguém nunca apareceu pra me questionar sobre isso.

Então essa foi a primeira vez que encontrei o cheiro.

Arquivista: Entendi. E a outra vez foi quando queimou a Jane Prentiss?

JORDAN (DEPOIMENTO)

Não só isso.

Quer dizer, eu não cheguei a vê-la. A incineração foi a primeira vez que a vi pessoalmente. Mas alguns anos atrás fui chamado pra lidar com o ninho da vespas.

Pelo menos foi assim que o proprietário nomeou no telefone — aparentemente tinha machucado um de seus inquilinos mais cedo naquele dia e eu fui o primeiro serviço de controle de pragas para o qual ele ligou que estava imediatamente disponível. Ele não me disse o nome do inquilino, embora, obviamente, agora eu saiba quem era. Ele não me deu nenhum detalhe pelo telefone, mas parecia feliz em pagar a taxa da chamada de emergência, então juntei meu equipamento pra vespas e parti pra Prospero Road.

Era um pouco estranho receber um chamado pra vespas naquela época do ano. Era final de fevereiro ou início de março, eu acho, e ainda estava bastante frio. Ainda assim, se fosse um prédio quente o suficiente, elas poderiam facilmente continuar ativas. Independentemente disso, fiz questão de verificar o traje espesso que eu usava pra esse tipo de trabalho pra garantir que não tivesse pontos fracos ou danificados. Se elas eram agressivas o suficiente pra ferir alguém, eu não correria nenhum risco.

O nome do proprietário era Arthur Nolan. Ele era um homem baixo com uma carranca constante, cabelos brancos ralos e um charuto na boca. Parecia que sua camisa jeans já tinha vestido uma estrutura bem atlética, mas que já havia desaparecido há muito tempo. Ele me olhou de cima a baixo quando saí da minha van e vi sua boca se contorcer brevemente de irritação. Ele claramente não estava impressionado.

Eu fiz o monólogo de sempre sobre o que iria acontecer e ele acenou com a cabeça distraidamente antes de entregar as chaves do apartamento 4 em minhas mãos e apontar pra ele. Ele disse que se eu precisasse de alguma coisa, ele estaria no apartamento 1, onde ele morava. Eu aconselhei que ele e os outros inquilinos ficassem fora do prédio enquanto eu lidava com as vespas, mas ele só grunhiu e repetiu que estaria no apartamento 1. Os outros inquilinos aparentemente já tinham saído.

Eu carreguei o inseticida e entrei. Estava muito mais silencioso do que eu esperava. Enquanto eu estava do lado de fora do apartamento 4, eu normalmente esperaria ouvir o zumbido das vespas, mas a noite estava quieta. Abri a porta lentamente, sem movimentos bruscos que pudessem alarmar qualquer coisa que estivesse do outro lado, mas, de novo, o apartamento parecia estar vazio.

Parecia que tinha passado um furacão ali, com livros e roupas espalhados pelo chão e uma tela de TV quebrada no canto. Encontrei a escada proo sótão no centro do quarto. Era bem pequena e subir no meu traje volumoso foi complicado, mas cheguei lá. Ainda sem vespas, mas estava muito escuro, então vasculhei de novo até encontrar o interruptor de uma única lâmpada. A luz era muito fraca, mas era o suficiente pra distinguir um caroço espesso e polpudo encostado na parede oposta.

Com certeza não se parecia com nenhum ninho de vespas que eu já tinha visto antes. Quer dizer, a forma era até familiar, mas a textura da superfície parecia muito errada. Parecia muito menos de papel do que o normal, e as paredes eram menos... regulares, se esticando em ângulos estranhos e deixando meio difícil de desviar o olhar. A coisa era toda esponjosa, cheia de buracos pequenos e num geral parecia muito doente. E o mais perturbador de tudo: ainda não tinha vespas.

Nada disso mudava o trabalho que eu tinha que fazer, então pensei em começar como qualquer outro ninho de vespas e ver se funcionava. Estendi a mão pra frente, ficando o mais longe possível da coisa quanto o bocal permitia, e o empurrei pra dentro de um dos buracos maiores. Ele afundou com quase nenhuma resistência. Respirei fundo e puxei o gatilho, borrifando o pó de inseticida no interior da massa.

O efeito foi imediato. A coisa toda começou a pulsar e ter espasmos, a carne esponjosa dela latejando e borbulhando como algum tipo de massa abominável. Ela começou a crescer em tamanho, se expandindo e cobrindo o resto do bocal, se estendendo até mim. E aí começou a gritar. Não era o som do ar escapando ou um zumbido que soava como gritos, aquele ninho estranho estava soltando um grito longo e estridente de raiva e dor.

Larguei o borrifador e desci a escada tão rápido que quase caí no apartamento abaixo. Eu ainda conseguia ouvir aquilo quando cheguei à porta do corredor. Eu a abri apenas pra ser confrontado pelo rosto de Arthur Nolan, o proprietário, olhando pra mim com um olhar de decepção.

Ele balançou a cabeça e começou a andar pelo corredor. Eu o segui, desesperado por respostas, mas ele simplesmente ignorou minhas perguntas sobre o que diabos estava acontecendo e o que era aquela coisa e continuou descendo as escadas até seu próprio apartamento. A certa altura, ele balançou a cabeça e murmurou algo sobre esperar que aquilo não chegasse tão longe, mas não parecia estar falando pra mim.

Assim que a porta se abriu, percebi o quão desconfortavelmente quente era o apartamento 1. O ar era espesso e seco e fez minha garganta ficar um pouco áspera. O proprietário continuou a ignorar minha presença e caminhou até uma poltrona velha no centro da sala. Ao fazer isso, ele começou a desabotoar sua camisa jeans.

Mais do que qualquer outra coisa que aconteceu, foi isso que finalmente me fez parar, confuso. Eu não conseguia entender o que ele estava fazendo. Quando ele se sentou, sua camisa se abriu e eu vi o que parecia ser uma cicatriz intrincada em seu peito. Se eu tivesse que adivinhar o que era, diria que parecia uma chama estilizada, mas também me fez pensar em um rosto contorcido de dor.

O tempo parecia passar devagar enquanto ele pegava o cinzeiro no braço da cadeira e pegava uma caixa de fósforos. Ele acendeu um e, sem sequer olhar pra mim, gentilmente pressionou a pequena chama no centro da cicatriz.

Sua carne pegou fogo imediatamente. As chamas se espalharam por seu corpo como água. A poltrona pegou fogo, depois o chão, e então eu corri pra fora do prédio antes que aquele inferno me cobrisse também. Dessa vez eu não fui embora. Eu fiquei lá e assisti ao incêndio até que o corpo de bombeiros chegou.

Foi quando o fogo atingiu aquele espaço no sótão no último andar, onde eu sabia que aquele ninho horrível ainda estava. Foi aí que eu senti o cheiro: o mesmo fedor grotesco que tinha vindo daquele homem seboso e febril três anos antes.

Na época eu não liguei os acontecimentos. Eu estava muito ocupado tentando entender o que tinha acabado de acontecer. E quando os caminhões do ECDC apareceram pra me colocar em quarentena, esqueci completamente.

Eles foram surpreendentemente sinceros sobre a Jane Prentiss e o que tinha acontecido e, depois de um extenso interrogatório, eles acabaram me oferecendo um emprego. Aparentemente, o controle de doenças e o controle de pragas muitas vezes caminham juntos, e eu estou trabalhando pra eles desde então. A maioria dos trabalhos são normais — alguns um pouco estranhos, mas nada parecido com esses dois.

Arquivista: Então por que prestar depoimento agora?

Jordan: Quando ajudei a incinerar o corpo dela, senti o cheiro de novo. Como antes. Levei um tempo pra ligar as coisas, mas achei que você deveria saber.

Arquivista: Você tá dizendo que pode haver outros lá fora como ela?

Jordan: Céus, espero que não. Eu não sei. O homem da casa das formigas — ele não era como ela, de jeito nenhum. Mas aquele cheiro quando eles queimaram... Eu acho que eles estão conectados de alguma forma. E isso me assusta.

Arquivista: Sim... sim, isso me assusta também.

ARQUIVISTA

O depoimento do Sr. Kennedy me deixou um pouco abalado. Embora eu esteja sempre feliz com qualquer encerramento adicional do caso de Jane Prentiss, esse parece vir com a ressalva bastante séria de que ela pode não estar trabalhando sozinha.

Não, isso não parece certo. Jane Prentiss — ou o que quer que tenha sido essa “colmeia de carne” que a pegou — não parece o tipo de ser que funcionaria bem com outros.

A casa em Bromley foi demolida no ano passado, mas o Martin conseguiu localizar os registros da propriedade. Foi registrada no nome de John Amherst. As datas não deixam totalmente claro se isso foi um pouco antes ou logo depois de ele aparentemente assumir o comando da Casa de Repouso de Ivy Meadows, mas não há dúvidas de que era a mesma pessoa. Todos os registros de propriedade da casa das formigas levam a becos sem saída ou contas bancárias desativadas.

Não parece que ele é outra colmeia de carne... Mas, ainda assim... Não há nenhuma conexão exceto por doenças e insetos... e um cheiro desagradável quando eles queimam.

Jane Prentiss está morta. Mas isso tá muito longe de acabar.

Fim da gravação.

ARQUIVISTA

Complemento.

Eu… Eu não tenho muito o que relatar, na verdade. Estamos na semana do Halloween, o que significa que o departamento de pesquisa tá sempre lotado de depoimentos. A maioria deles é patentemente falso, mas o volume fez com que eles chamassem o arquivo pra ajudar com o excesso.

Tem sido legal, na verdade. Refutar pilhas de bobagem foi bom, como se eu estivesse trabalhando de verdade, não só me distraindo com teorias da conspiração e paranoia. Eu tive até uma boa noite de sono. Sinto saudades dessa época.

Mouse Control

What Benefits Can a Skilled Mice Extermination Company Offer Residential Properties?

We strongly advise getting aid from experts if you are experiencing rodent problems. They can inspect your property and advise you on how to prevent mice from wreaking havoc. In addition to this, you can engage them to get rid of mice in your home.

When it comes to getting rid of mice, professional pest control services use a variety of techniques. In this category are methods like chemical treatments, trapping, and excluding. A cellophane-wrapped rodenticide-filled bait station is also used. This improves the chances that the disease can be wiped out entirely.

What Does an Expert Mouse Control Services Do?

The newest traps and repellents will be brought by a qualified mouse control service provider. They will put out a great deal of effort to effectively and swiftly eradicate every mouse from your house.

What Should You Look for in a Quality Mouse Control Service?

Remembering that not all pest control firms are created equal is the single most critical consideration when selecting a mouse pest treatment provider. Before deciding on the best option, you should do some reading.

There are a great deal of important details to think about, such as:

Quotes

Scheduling convenience

Training & qualifications

Members of BPCA or NPTA

In addition to eliminating the mouse problem, a good mouse exterminator will provide you with an estimate based on the details you supply. Before hiring a mouse exterminator, educate yourself on guarantees. You can put more faith in the company and increase the likelihood of a successful eradication by listening to their assurances.

Mice removal may come at a high cost, so make sure you shop around. Some businesses are willing to provide quotes without an examination, while others require it.

What Advantages Can Expert Mouse Control Services Offer?

Allowing mice to proliferate can make them a nuisance and cause problems in residential and commercial settings. Eliminating rodents on your own might be challenging.

Not only is getting rid of mice challenging, but using them incorrectly can be harmful. Professional extermination services can help with pest management in a timely and safe manner because of their training and equipment.

Compared to do-it-yourself techniques, using professional extermination services has a number of advantages.

Professional exterminators are also capable of swiftly and efficiently identifying and eliminating most rodent species present in houses. Thanks to their vast knowledge in rodent behaviour.

For a guaranteed solution, contact a trustworthy exterminator like Apex Pest Control as soon as possible if you're managing your mouse problem alone!

How Can You Tell If Your Home Is Infested by Mice?

Mice are little, hairy rodents that may be very destructive in dwellings. They enjoy eating, and they can do a lot of damage if they get into your food storage or kitchen cupboards. In order to take the necessary action, it's critical to recognise the early warning indicators of a mouse infestation in your home.

Several indicators point to the possibility of a mouse issue, including the following:

traces and droppings in strange locations

pets or birds that exhibit altered behaviour during peaceful times or at night

nests constructed next to food sources (such as next to the garbage disposal or under kitchen cupboards)

holes chewed through furniture, or walls.

You might have a mouse infestation in your house if you notice any chewing or clawing. They could also leave stains on your furniture and carpets and emit an offensive odour.

More about Mice

Mice can fit through most food packaging because they are so small. Depending on the species, they could be harmful carriers of illness. The mouse mess can be safely cleaned up with a moist towel.

A disagreeable smell is another indicator of a rodent infestation. If there are a lot of droppings in your kitchen, there can be a more serious issue. Either overpopulation or reproduction are indicated by this.

You should also be aware of the possible health hazards that come with having a mouse infestation. They might be carriers of illnesses like:

Cholera

Degeneration

Hantavirus

You must take immediate action, especially if you are able to. If you see any of these signs, it's imperative that you act quickly and get in touch with a professional!

How Would You Locate a Mice Nest?

It's critical that you understand your options if you have mice in your house. These little organisms have the capacity to damage your furniture and equipment and develop into major pests. They may also be carriers of viruses and diseases.

The nest needs to be located in order to assess whether there is a mouse infestation. You can accomplish this by looking for evidence of faeces or urine. A mouse's excrement has two colours: dark brown and black. They have a cylindrical form. Usually, they are 3–8 mm long. They are shiny and sweet when they are fresh. But in a few hours, they dry out.

How Can You Keep Mice Out of Your House?

There are a few strategies to keep mice out of your house if you're concerned about them. Mice are nocturnal creatures that can squeeze through a number of openings in your home. They could enter through tiny gaps, fissures, or openings. Here you can read more about controlling rodent infestations.

Finding any potential entrances to your home is the first step in keeping mice out. Sealing small openings and cracks is also a smart move. Use a rodent-proof substance, like silicone, rubber, or heavy-duty caulk, to accomplish this.

Another strategy for keeping rodents out of your house is to lead a clutter-free lifestyle. Since mice are drawn to clutter, getting rid of crumbs and other garbage makes it more difficult for them to locate you and your house.

Take away any toys your kids may have left behind. Using thick gravel to line your home's foundation is another smart move. By doing this, mice won't be able to burrow into the foundation and make homes there.

Where are mice able to enter and exit your home?

They could get into your home through air conditioning ducts, ventilation pipes, foundation fractures, or gaps beneath doors. It is wise to keep an eye out for any mouse activity in your home because of this.

Mice are typically most active at night. Even though they frequently burrow through ceilings and walls, they are able to create nests in difficult-to-reach places. They might build a nest within a cupboard or the insulation of the attic, for instance.

Securing any openings is the simplest method to keep mice out of your house. One way to do this is to caulk the areas around windows and doors. To keep your windows closed, you can also add screens to them.

How Are Mice Caught?

Mice can be caught in a number of methods, including with the help of insecticides and traps. However, an exclusion policy provides the highest level of protection and productivity. A pest control company can help you design a strategy to eliminate rodents from your home.

The first step in mouse-proofing your home is to get rid of the clutter. This will make detecting any evidence of rodents much simpler. It is also important to remove potential sources of nourishment and hydration.

If mice are a problem, you may want to install a barrier along the exterior walls. No plants of any kind, including grass and bushes, should flourish there. Reduced overgrowth may make it more difficult for mice to find a place to hide.

Gravel is another option for fortifying a house's base. Do this to stop mice from damaging your walls with their teeth. Holes and vents can be concealed with wire mesh. Quick-drying cement can also be used to patch smaller holes.

Is Homemade Mouse Control Possible?

DIY rodent control is an option if you don't want to spend the money on hiring a professional. You should probably be precise because there is no guarantee that the problem will persist over time if you don't.

Closing off all possible entrances is a good method for keeping mice at bay. Pay close attention to the particulars here.

For instance, trash cans can serve as magnets for mice. It makes sense to store trash in closed containers. Trimming your garden and cutting plants near your windows and doors is also a good idea.

Dry goods can also be protected from rodents by being kept in airtight containers made of metal or glass. Choose a container that can be sealed to keep out air and moisture.

In addition, mouse traps are a handy tool to have. There are numerous varieties to choose from, such as:

Baited

Live (humane)

Non-baited

Wear protective clothing when using these technologies. If you have kids, you need to be extra careful. To further ensure your safety, please refer to the manufacturer's guidelines.

How efficient are mouse traps at eliminating rodent populations?

There are a number of options for dealing with a mouse infestation. You might use poison or traps or employ a professional to get rid of the mice. You'll need skills, equipment, and knowledge if you choose to do it yourself, though.

The usage of mouse traps is a viable solution. They don't usually involve the use of poisons and can be deployed quickly. However, you should be consistent and make reasonable use of them.

Snap traps are the most efficient way to catch numerous mice with no effort. These traps are effective and quick, and no poison is necessary. In addition, they can be used to snare larger creatures, such as rats.

Carefully reading the instructions will help you decide if a mouse trap is the right tool for the job. Too many mice caught at once could cause an outbreak. Place the trap in an accessible area as well. Some mice are particularly skilled at getting away.

What Options Do You Have for Treating a Mice Problem Naturally?

If you have a mouse problem at your house, you may want to try some non-chemical methods first. As a result, you'll have an easier time getting the job done swiftly. Essential oils can be used as a mouse deterrent. They work best when used in tandem with other strategies. Two fantastic examples are peppermint and cinnamon. When dealing with pets, exercise caution. The treatment may make the symptoms worse.

Apple cider vinegar and water can be sprayed throughout the house as another option. It works well, albeit you may have to spray more often.

Screening your windows and doors is another option. Porch cracks can also be sealed using caulk. Paraphrase: Paraphrase can squeeze through a little opening. Mice can squeeze through a tiny opening.

Should You Use Rat Poison?

If you're dealing with a rodent infestation, you may be debating whether or not to resort to rat poison. The use of rat poison to exterminate rodents is effective in a number of situations. However, remember the potential dangers it poses to both humans and other animals.

Rat poison, for example, is a threat to the health of humans and other animals. Pets, especially infants, could be harmed, and other species, such as birds and mammals, could be in danger.

Some rat poisons are designed to look and smell appetising, just like bait, in the hopes that rats will consume them. Some come in pellet form or are made in a different way. Always check the label and use the product as directed.

Use of rat poison should be reserved for emergency situations only. Close all the doors and windows so you can sneak the poison out of the house without anyone seeing you.

Make sure the rodenticide you're considering has been approved by the EPA before buying it. If not, another member of your household is likely to become poisoned. Potentially lethal to both humans and animals.

Conclusion

Be sure to read and follow all product directions and safety warnings if you decide to tackle the elimination of a mouse infestation on your own. If you can't do it yourself, call a pest control service for help getting rid of mice.

Rodents: Topping the list are rats and mice, notorious for their nimble bodies and ability to squeeze through tiny gaps. These gnawing nuisances can damage electrical wiring, contaminate food, and transmit diseases like salmonella and Weil's disease.

Insects: From the creepy-crawly spiders and cockroaches to the buzzing flies and stinging wasps, insects are a common sight in London homes. While some are harmless annoyances, others like bed bugs and mosquitoes pose significant health risks.

Birds: Pigeons and gulls are frequent visitors to London rooftops and balconies, leaving behind unsightly droppings that damage property and carry diseases. Their nesting habits can also block vents and cause structural damage.

Other Pests: Don't forget about moles in your garden, silverfish nibbling on books, or even the occasional fox rummaging through bins! While less common, these pests can still cause problems.

The Fight Against Pests: Effective Control Strategies

Prevention is Key: Sealing cracks and entry points, maintaining proper hygiene, and storing food securely are crucial first steps. Regular inspections and proactive measures can prevent infestations before they start.

DIY vs. Professional Help: For minor infestations or specific concerns, DIY methods like traps and baits might be an option. However, for larger infestations, complex problems, or guaranteed results, professional pest control services are highly recommended.

Choosing the Right Pest Control Company:

Experience and Expertise: Look for a company with a proven track record and technicians certified by the British Pest Control Association (BPCA). This ensures they have the knowledge and skills to handle any pest problem effectively.

Safe and Eco-Friendly Methods: Opt for a company that prioritizes safe and environmentally friendly solutions, minimizing risks to your family, pets, and the environment. Bugwise Pest Control, for example, uses non-toxic and pet-safe treatments whenever possible.

Transparency and Communication: Choose a company that clearly explains treatment options, costs, and potential risks involved. Open communication and trust are essential for a successful pest control experience.

How Much Does Bird Proofing Cost For Solar Panels?

Pigeon droppings can cause permanent damage to solar panels through structural harm and corrosion. They also pose a health hazard, as they can carry diseases including E.coli, Salmonella, Histoplasmosis and Cryptococcosis. In addition, pigeons will build nests under solar panel bird proofing cost which can create a mess that needs to be cleaned. Their droppings are highly acidic and can lead to discolouration of the roof tiles. They will also clog gutters and block roof drains, leading to expensive maintenance and repair work. In businesses, pigeons can be a major nuisance, turning customers away and damaging the company’s reputation.

In the UK, there are a number of different solutions available to deter pigeons from landing on or nesting under solar panels. These range from bird spikes to mesh netting. The cost of a solution will vary depending on the method chosen and the size of the solar panel installation.

The most effective and least costly solution is to install a mesh screen or bird net around the area of the solar panels. These are more aesthetically pleasing and safer for the birds than spikes, but they will still need to be removed and reinstalled periodically. The mesh can be fixed to the roof with PVC pipes or chicken wire. When choosing a company to install these screens, choose one that belongs to the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) and uses fully trained operatives. They should be able to supply evidence of BPCA membership when requested.

Another option is to use a chemical repellent, such as bird gels or sprays, to discourage birds from landing on or nesting under the solar panels. These products create an unpleasant surface or scent and can be bought from a variety of suppliers in the UK. It is important to ensure that the chemicals used are bird-friendly and environmentally safe.

A more visually appealing but less effective solution is to place predator decoys such as plastic owls or falcons near the solar panels. These can be moved regularly to prevent the birds from becoming accustomed to them and are typically priced between PS10 and PS30 each.

The most effective and aesthetically pleasing solution is to construct physical barriers around or above the solar panels using materials like metal wires or chicken wire. These can be fixed as a frame around the panels or built as structures above them. The cost of this will depend on the type and quality of the materials used to construct the barriers. Another alternative is to use ultrasonic devices, which emit high-frequency sound waves that scare birds away. This is an affordable solution, but it may disturb neighbours, so should be used with caution.

Thermosfles met goede prijs-kwaliteitsverhouding.

Ik heb ongeveer een maandje geleden een thermosfles gekocht bij thermobottle. Ik was in het begin compleet onbekend met het bedrijf hun site was wel erg traag, dus dat beviel me in het begin al niet en toen ik op de site kwam stond er ook dat het niet beveiligd was dus daar werd ik wel erg zenuwachtig van. Maar ik had een thermosfles nodig en ik wilde een beetje kijken wat er allemaal te kopen was qua thermosflessen op deze site. Mijn voornaamste doel was om een mooie thermosfles te halen die als het kon een mooi patroon erop had zitten. Dit hadden ze bij Thermobottle gelukkig wel dus ik heb hun thermosfles vergeleken met prijzen van andere bedrijven. Wat bleek?

Ze zijn gewoon een van de goedkoopste bedrijven als het gaat om thermosflessen. De thermosflessen van Thermobottle waren 15, terwijl bij andere grotere bedrijven er al snel 25 euro voor werd gevraagd. Ik verwachte daarom eerst ook erg weinig van de thermosfles, maar ik dacht dat het proberen wel waard is. Ik heb het gekocht via de site wat dan wel weer erg goed werkte. Er ging ongeveer een weekje overheen voordat ik de thermosfles thuis had gekregen. Toen maakte ik de doos open en toen zat er een mooie verpakking in die doos wat ik totaal niet verwacht had en in deze verpakking zat de thermosfles.

De thermosfles heb ik eruit gehaald en toen zag het er kwalitatief erg goed uit. Ik heb een thermosfles genomen die een houten patroon heeft want dat leek me wel mooi. En het zag er echt erg goed uit voor deze prijs. Ik wandel en sport erg veel dus het leek me handig om deze thermosfles te gebruiken terwijl ik dit aan het doen ben. Ik sportte er de volgende dag mee en dat ging prima de thermosfles zat goed in de hand en het water bleef goed koud. Een weekje daarna ging ik wandelen en ik had verwacht dat de thermosfles niet zo goed zou blijven isoleren in de lange tijd dat ik aan het wandelen was, maar elke keer dat ik een slok nam was het water echt goed koud.

Het is een mooie thermosfles met een fijne vorm die fijn in de hand ligt en die je ook overal makkelijk in kan zetten, het paste in de fiets in de sportschool en het paste ook in de zijkant van mijn rugtas. Het formaat is perfect en de thermosfles doet wat hij moet doen. Ik heb zelf een thermosfles genomen van 500 ML, maar er zijn ook nog thermosflessen beschikbaar van 350 ML. waarvan ik ook nog overweeg om er eentje van te kopen. De thermosfles is gemaakt van roestvrij staal en bevat het BPCA-certificaat. Wat betekend dat de thermosfles roest-en smetvrij is vanbinnen. Verder zijn de thermosflessen in 16 verschillende kleuren beschikbaar van hout patroon tot roze.

Dus nu vat ik alles even samen: de site zag er een beetje amateuristisch uit, in hun info stond dat het bedrijf van een stel studenten is van de opleiding ORM. Dit verklaart wel waarom de site er niet professioneel uitziet. De thermosfles is voor de prijs wat je ervoor betaald extreem goed. Misschien wel gelijkwaardig aan de thermosflessen die 10 euro duurder zijn. En ik ben nu weer een hele ervaring rijker en de jongens van dit bedrijf zijn een klant rijker.

Een top ervaring gehad bij dit bedrijf en zeker een aanrader om hier een thermosfles aan te schaffen als je er nog een nodig bent.

U kunt de flessen bestellen via: http://thermobottle.nl/

Cockroach Eradication

How can I get rid of cockroaches effectively?

Cockroaches are a typical example of an annoying pest. Their awful smell and the possibility of property damage are two big downsides. They congregate in places that are dark and wet. This category also includes bathroom and kitchen drawers.

In order to prevent infestation, it is crucial to thoroughly clean these locations. Help getting rid of pests can be arranged by calling a professional provider. It's also important to keep your home clean and organised on a consistent basis.

If you want to know how to get rid of cockroaches, keep reading.

When and how should cockroaches be treated?

Salmonella, dysentery, and gastroenteritis are just a few of the diseases that can be transmitted to humans by cockroaches. Cockroach dung has been linked to the spread of diseases such as eczema and asthma.

There are a variety of sprays and repellents available for use against cockroaches. Neem is yet another all-natural remedy that works wonders against cockroaches. This herb has been used for centuries for its therapeutic purposes, and it can be used to reduce cockroach infestations by creating a spray.

One of the most common cockroaches is the American cockroach, which may be found both inside and outside. Because it can grow to be two inches long, a standard sticky trap is ineffective against this bug.

Avoid failure by using a larger than necessary sticky trap if you're trying to catch an American cockroach. Perimeter spraying with an insecticide designed to kill cockroaches is another method.

To eliminate these pests, choose an exterminator who has passed the exams required by the BPCA or NPTA. Whether you need help with cockroaches in your house or company, Apex Pest Control can get the job done.

What is the Average Cost to Get Rid of Cockroaches?

Effective and reasonably priced (cost is determined by the number of bedrooms in your home), we treat for roaches and offer advice on how to prevent their recurrence. Here are the money you will spend to get rid of cockroaches.

The consultation fee is £125, and additional treatment costs the same amount.

An additional £100 will be charged for a return visit (this fee applies only to homes).

Widespread Infestations

The cost of fixing a cockroach infestation rises in proportion to its severity. Once this is done, we will be able to give you an accurate quote for how long and how much it will cost to treat the cockroaches. We provide pest control services to homes throughout Yorkshire.

Our Techniques for Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Once cockroaches have made a home in a building and begun reproducing, they can be difficult to eradicate. There could be a need for a series of therapies and constant monitoring.

A thorough survey should be performed to determine which species of cockroaches will be treated, as they all have slightly distinct biology and behaviours.

We can choose from a number of different management strategies. Some potential cases in point are:

Sprays of pesticide will be applied every other week on gel baits placed in cockroach hotspots. We will also spray the fans and treat the cracks and crevices with pesticide. Insect growth regulators could potentially be present in these. The ultra-low-volume (ULV) application of this insecticide, with droplet sizes as small as 15 micrometres, works well in tandem with the fan and crack and crevice treatment.

It is suggested that sticky traps be monitored after each treatment as a form of early detection. Taking precautions like cockroach proofing the building and keeping an eye on deliveries is essential once a cockroach infestation has been eliminated.

How to Spot a Cockroach Infestation

Cockroaches often leave behind small, tubular droppings and strange dark stains on surfaces that have been saturated with water. Cockroaches shed their skin as they progress through the several nymphal stages before becoming adults.

The German, oriental, American, and brown banded cockroaches are the most frequent types found in the United Kingdom.

Check out the frequently asked questions and answers that follow for more details on eliminating these roach-like pests from your home. You can also read our post on the topic if you'd like.
