Pest Control

Control pests in your garden

We know how frustrating it can be to have pests in your house or in your garden, eating your plants, and generally being a nuisance. We also know how difficult it can be to get rid of them. So we’ve developed an exhaustive range of home supplies that you can use to tackle any kind of infestation or invasive animals.

Causes of pest infestations

Often, pest problems in the home aren’t because of one single cause, but there are many preventative measures you can take to reduce the risk.

For instance, if things aren’t clean and there is food lying around, this can attract unwanted visitors. Having a good clean and tidy will help. Clogged gutters and decorative pools can attract pests, so it's important to reduce build-ups of moisture and settled water by unclogging regularly.

Insects and rodents will often try to make their way inside during the winter to escape the cold. So, be vigilant during the colder months – make sure any draughts by windows and doors are sealed up and any holes in the walls or insulation are blocked.

Do ultrasonic pest repellers really work?

Modern technology can make ridding your home and garden of pests a breeze. Ultrasonic sound waves are high pitched noises that are beyond the range of hearing for humans and most pets but deter other animals. They can be used to keep larger creatures such as foxes and deers out of your garden, or crawling insects out of your house.

Ultrasonic waves won’t pass through solid objects, so some repellers combine them with electromagnetic waves to rid the whole house of insects. These plug-in pest control devices send electric pulses through the wiring to upset the nervous systems of spiders and other bugs, causing them to leave.

Do anti-barking devices really work?

Similar to ultrasonic pest repellers, anti-barking pest control devices can be highly effective in preventing nuisance barking. When the ultrasonic bark control device senses the sound of a barking dog, ultrasonic sounds are released that can be heard by dogs but not humans. Eventually, the dog will associate barking with an unpleasant sound and will learn to stop.
