Pest control companies on high alert for bedbugs

Regular headlines herald the relentless onward march of bedbugs across Europe, so it is no surprise that pest control companies are receiving an increasing number of calls for help with these insidious insects.

From Paris to Penzance and Berlin to Barcelona, bedbug infestations are causing householders huge headaches.  And after trying all the usual tactics of baking hot bed linen washes and tropical tumble dryer cycles, the next logical move is to call in the pest experts for the final assault.

Bedbugs – or Cimicidae – are not easily deterred.  In addition to the various DIY sheet heat treatments (plus washing every garment in your wardrobe), it takes two applications of specialist chemical to get rid of these unwelcome bedfellows.

To prevent your home becoming badly infested, check your mattress regularly for smears or signs of movement – either of which could indicate a problem. These peripatetic little parasites breed quickly, so it pays to act fast to stop them spreading.

Self seal bags and envelopes

With the long hours we work in the UK, today’s employment culture is all about saving a few precious minutes wherever you can so you can escape just that little bit earlier – and that includes in every day tasks in the post room.

People doing task-driven jobs are probably the most time aware of all employees, as their day isn’t truly finished until that day’s jobs are done – even when they’ve worked their hours.

If posting 1,000 letters or 500 marketing folders is the last task of the day, you want to make sure it takes up as little time over your working hours as possible. And this is where Self seal bags and envelopes make all the difference.

Putting a marketing pack in a postage bag and sealing it without having to scrabble round for tape and scissors saves as much time as pre-printed address labels.

Folding a letter, putting it into a DL sized envelope and sealing it without having to use a damp sponge saves as much time as using an windowed envelope so the address doesn’t have to be rewritten.

Information on killing flies

Fly sprays are generally pretty lethal and will kill flies dead, but the pungent chemical aroma and make up has been linked to health problems, making them increasing unpopular.

A good old-fashioned remedy is sticky flypaper, which is actually very effective, especially if you are able to position it near a window or in a place that will attract the flies in the first place. However, you will need more than one and they are not very attractive to look out.

There are also domestic flytraps available to buy, which attract flies to UV light and kill them.

For tips like these and more useful info on keeping your home free from insects, there are many websites online that can help.
