Melton Mowbray Biting Insect Control

Biting insects are an extremely problematic pest as they can cause infection and spread diseases. There are a variety of biting insects that are common in the UK. The most widespread of these are fleas, ticks and mosquitos, although there are a lot more.

The key to controlling an infestation of biting insects is accurate identification of the insect. The easiest way to achieve this is by visual examination of an insect, although this is hard with invisible or really small insects. Another alternative is to identify bugs by their bite. The seriousness of bites can differ from individual to individual, but a good indication of the species is the location of the bite. For example, bites on legs and ankles are typical of fleas, whereas mosquitos will most likely bite arms, shoulders or the areas of your body that are exposed while in bed.

Expert pest control companies will be able to identify biting insects. Following this, they will agree with you a plan for treating the infestation. This will vary depending on the species of the pest, but will generally consist of using an insecticide spray or powder in the area of the property where the insect is present. Severe infestations of biting insects might require fumigation to properly control the infestation.
