Cluster Fly Treatments in Ipswich, Norwich, Cambridge, Kings Lynn, and Bury St Edmunds

Cluster Fly Treatments

 

At this time of year Millennium Pest Control Ltd are beginning to conduct Cluster Fly treatments in the Ipswich, Norwich, Cambridge, Kings Lynn, and Bury St Edmunds areas. Cluster flies begin to enter homes in the late summer early autumn as it is their time to begin hibernation.  It is not uncommon to see large amounts of flies on any walls that face south west as they want to feel the warmth of the area. Once they do enter, you will usually find them in areas such as loft spaces and wall cavities. You will often see them around top level windows as well as they can enter further through light fittings and cracks and crevices.

 

Millennium Pest Control Ltd will often treat properties for Cluster flies in Ipswich, Norwich, Cambridge, Kings Lynn, and Bury St Edmunds areas in the autumn and spring times for consecutive years as it usually takes a while to break their cycle. After the winter they will mate and then bury their eggs into earthworms externally in the summer. They will not venture too far from the property they have hibernated in.  Larvae will hatch from the eggs they will then pupae and mature fully.

 

Cluster flies are not considered to be a health hazard like other flies however; they can still be a nuisance as they can swarm inside and outside of your home. Skilled technicians will treat the loft space areas and around any windows and their frames. It is important that for day’s even weeks after that a regular hoovering of the fly bodies is done. It may then be an idea to seal up any cracks or crevices that they may have been entering your home.

Rat and Mice Treatments

Rats and Mice Treatments with Millennium Pest Control Ltd.

 

 

With summer gone and winter fast approaching rodents season is fast approaching in the Ipswich, Norwich, Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds, and Kings Lynn areas and they will be moving ever closer to our properties and buildings in search for warmth and shelter. Millennium Pest control Ltd offer rodent treatments in the Ipswich, Norwich, Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds and Kings Lynn areas all year round. In these rodent treatments our skilled technicians will conduct a survey of the property internally and external to assess whether there are proofing issues and ingress points for the rodents to enter buildings. They will also survey externally to see if there are hygiene or vegetation issues that may be offering harbourage and access to the property. They will make professional suggestions to our customers as this is a more long solution to the problems. We will bait and trap accordingly after a risk assessment of the site is conducted. Safety is paramount to us at Millennium Pest Control Ltd along with getting results.

 

 

Rodent Facts:

 

  • Mice and some young rats can fit into spaces the size of a bull point on a pen;

  • Both Mice and Rats are adapted to climb and will often use vegetation, broken downpipes, or damaged items on structures to gain access;

  • They are always looking to feed so if you have bird feeders, over flowing waste bins, or compost heaps this will attract them to you and you will be at risk of an infestation;

  • The gestation period for rats is between 21-24 days and is similar for mice. This means they can be quick to reproduce and can deliver litters each time between 5-14;

  • Any rodent infestation or activity can potentially be harmful to human health;

  • Rats carry fleas and Weil’s Disease (Leptospirosis) which can be fatal.
