Watford Biting Insect Control

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

The most important part of managing an infestation of biting insects is accurate identification of the insect. The simplest way to do this is by visual inspection of an insect, although this is hard with hidden or really small bugs. Another alternative is to identify insects by their bite. The seriousness of bites may vary from person to person, but a good indication 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 can identify biting insects. Following this, they will agree with you a plan for treating the infestation. This will change depending on the species of the pest, but will frequently involve using an insecticide spray or powder in the area of the house where the insect is present. Severe infestations of biting pests may necessitate fumigation to succesfully solve the problem.
