Broadstairs Biting Insect Control

Biting insects are an exceptionally problematic pest as they can cause infection and spread diseases. There are a number of biting pests that are common in the United Kingdom. The most prevalent of these are fleas, ticks and mosquitos, although there are a lot more.

The most important part of controlling an infestation of biting insects is accurate identification of the insect. The simplest way to do this is by visual assessment of an insect, although this can be hard with hidden or really small insects. Another alternative is to identify bugs by their bite. The severity of bites can differ from one person to another, but a good indicator of the species is the placement of the bite. For instance, bites on legs and ankles are typical of fleas, whereas mosquitos will often bite arms, shoulders or other areas of the body that are exposed while in bed.

Qualified pest control companies will be able to identify biting insects. After this, they will agree with you a plan for treating the infestation. This will be different depending on the species of the insect, but will frequently consist of using an insecticide spray or powder in the area of your home where the insect is present. Severe infestations of biting pests might need fumigation to properly solve the problem.
