Pest Control

Site Survey
Traditions Pest control team will survey the premises before action is taken so that their is a full and complete understanding of the problem area. Many pest problems are a lot more severe than they appear. Each survey is Free of charge and can be arranged within 24 hours.

COSHH
The COSHH regulations require us to assess the risks that may accompany the use of any hazardous substance in the working enviromentand to take reasonable measures to protect against, or minimize, that risk. Our company policy is to meet all our legal obligations and to keep our customers constantly up to date with the chemicals we have used during our treatments.

Rodents
Rodents are a major problem because of the disease they transmit and the integral damage they cause. Damage is caused by gnawing woodwork, pipes, wires etc. Under the Prevention of Damage by Pests it is an offense to knowing harbor rodents in any premises and you can be prosecuted
Rats are breeding so much that there is now one for every person in Britain.
It is estimated that you are never more than nine meter away from a rat at any one time.
The main disease carried by rats is Weils Disease also known as Leptospirosis. It is thought about 30% of rats carry the disease and there are on average 50 deaths in the U.K. each year from the problem. Traditions pest control team will take the appropriate methods once the survey has been undertaken.

Birds
Most birds dont present a problem at all, but a few species become pests due to concentrated populations or the environments they inhabit. Nesting materials, fouling and accumulated debris frequently lead to blocked gutters and downpipes. Bird fouling erodes stone work which can lead to expensive maintenance work.
Birds can also be a threat to human health as they can carry a number of diseases including Histoplasma capsulatum, Campylobacter, Listeria, Salmonella and Ornithosis (Chlamydia psittcci). Pigeons also carry many unpleasant insects in their feathers, which include fleas, mites, ticks, lice, carpet beetles and many others.
Proofing involves the installation of permanent deterrents to the building to prevent pigeons or other birds from roosting. The deterrents include plastic spikes, repellent Gel, polyethene netting and sonic scaring. Reducing bird populations can sometimes call for more conclusive measures, although discretion in use is guaranteed. Live trapping, Narcotizing, shooting and Nursery clearance are the other methods.

Fleas
There are around three thousand known species of flea but the most predominant is the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) and is responsible for about 70% of all complaints. Fleas can be eradicated from an area with a flea spray rather than the messy and unreliable powder.
