Get Pest Control Poison quotes today!
Using poison is a popular approach to pest control. Poisons may be used to control a number of rodent pests and birds. The poisons can be employed in a variety of ways. For example, by using baited food sources which the pests eat and then ingest doses of the poison over time. Poisons may also be implemented using traps which lure in the pests and then deliver the poison.
Poisons are also employed to kill bugs such as wasps or cockroaches. This is commonly done by applying insecticide spray or powder. The most effective insecticides are those which the pests propagate themselves. To accomplish this, powder is applied to a high pest traffic area and then over a brief period of time the insecticide is distributed among them as they move around. This can be a very quick way of getting a high proportion of the infestation under control.
Specialist pest control companies can access a selection of insecticides and poisons to regulate pests. They may in addition have data on which poisons are the most effective onparticular pests. Poisons should be used with care as some pests are building resistances to specific varieties of poison. If they are used outside this should only be carried out by a professional company and procedures should be put in place to ensure that the poison does not spread to secondary wildlife.

Balham is a district in south London within the London Borough of Wandsworth. The settlement appears in the Domesday Book as Belgeham. Bal means ârounded enclosure’ and ham a homestead, village or river enclosure. The area has been settled since Saxon times, and Balham Hill and Balham High Road follow the line of the Roman road Stane Street to Chichester.
Balham encompasses the A24 north of Tooting Bec and also the roads coming off it. The southern part of Balham which is near Tooting Bec has a block of 1930s Art Deco flats called Du Cane Court. There’s also the Heaver Estate which can be found in Tooting, which comprises substantial houses. It was constructed within the grounds of the old Bedford Hill House by local Victorian builder Alfred Heaver.
Balham is positioned between 4 south London commons, namely Clapham Common to the north, Wandsworth Common to the west, Tooting Graveney Common to the south and also the connecting Tooting Bec to the east.
During WWII, on 14th October 1940, Balham tube station was badly damaged by air raids on London. Families sheltered inside the tube station throughout the raids, but a bomb fell in the High Road and through the rooftop of the Underground station, bursting a water and gas mains and killing about 64 people.
