Hi
I have been in the pest control Industry for nine years, before which I was a member of HM Forces for six years.
Being in pest control has opened my eyes to many things that I would have been aware of in the past that reaches out further than just rodents and insects, it conce s food, health and saftey, public health, personal responsibility, risks of infection and so much more.
I have also been caught up in disputes with landlords and tenants regarding duty to pay for treatments, who caused infestations and so on.
So pest control really is the tip of the ice berg that leads into so many other catergories that intu lead into other areas.
Lets see where that leads us.

Rodent Proofing In The Home
When I carry out pest control treatments in peoples homes, I often get told, I do not know how they are getting in, and they come back every year. There are some places that people over look and there are other places that people would not think a rodent could enter a property via, here we will look at areas and how to proof them. Rats and Mice will squeeze through holes much smaller than the size of their own bodies so bear this in mind when carrying out proofing.

Bed bugs
Bed bugs are still a rising problem across the world in major cities and although we may be more aware of them than ever, can we really stop them from becoming a problem in our areas? Well, firstly Bed bugs know no boundaries, they infest hostels, hospitals, homes, hotels and basically anywhere they can be transported to/find a host. Treatments vary depending on whom you deal with from monitoring/use of dogs to detect Bedbugs/spray treatments/heat treatments and other less advisable methods.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Darren Groves
Pest Control This is many peoples view, and to a certain extent is correct, but, there is far more than just extermination to be considered here, and for those that take there career very serious, as most do, pest controllers have a responsibility to those that the service is provided for to ensure that not only are treatments successful and pests eradicated, but further to that, identify why and how an infestation has taken place, advise how to ensure it does not take place again, proofing measures i.e holes that need to be filled, they also can be held accountable for their work should they be deemed to have caused harm through not applying to correct measures when using pesticides, and so much more we will examine later.
