Wasps can be bothersome and painful, but they're an important part of the natural ecosystem. For example, wasps pollinate flowers and prey on other insects and pests that damage crops and gardens.

When you see a wasp, do not swat it away. This Swatting movement will put the wasp in defence mode and make it more likely to sting you. If a wasp comes near you, the best thing to do is stay calm and slowly walk away. The HSE have some good information on Wasp Stings HERE

Rodent infestations in your home arise because the habitat and the environment provide them with the key means to survive – Food – Water - Shelter. The rodents may have access to food from unsecured bins, bird feeding or build up of rubbish and the water they need, as well as somewhere dry to live, shelter move around and to breed successfully. The more the availability of these factors is limited - the lower the level of rodent activity that it will support.

EPC can provide a free survey of your home to ascertain if these key elements are available and possibly causing any infestation you may have. One of the objectives of the survey is to identify where the rodents might be feeding, drinking and finding shelter, as well as the routes they were taking to exploit the environment.
