Honey Bee Swarm

This swarm of Honey Bees has been removed from a tree in the grounds of Ormonde Drive school in Maghull, Merseyside by Osprey Pest Control. The bees have been given to a local bee keeper and are now in a hive located in Ormskirk, Lancashire.   

Dermestes beetles

Dermestes haemorrhoidalis adult beetle and larval stage.

Dermestidae are a family of Coleoptera that are commonly referred to as skin beetles. Other common names include larder beetle, hide or leather beetles and carpet beetles.

These particular beetles were infesting a home in Merseyside and have now been eradicated by Osprey.

Professional Rat Control

This rat was making the lives of the home owners a misery. Noises in the loft and scratching in the cavity walls day and night. It was successfully trapped today and removed from the property.

This is how the professionals control rat problems.

Some companies will place bait which will inevitably cause rodents to die in inaccessible areas such as cavity walls or under floors causing weeks of smell and fly problems. We will make every endeavour to catch the rodent in order to prevent this happening.

Sharing the bedroom with a wasp nest

 I treated this wasp nest a couple of days ago from the outside of the house, at the time the nest was very active as wasps could be seen in large numbers flying in and out of the air brick.

The vent inside the bedroom was removed today to reveal the nest inside the cavity wall, the residents had only a plastic cover between them and the wasps.

The nest has now been completely removed.www.ospreypestcontrol.co.uk/wasps/
