The British Pest Control Association is the leading trade body for pest management professionals in the UK. BPCA members must hold recognised qualifications, carry professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and submit to regular audits. Choosing a BPCA member in UK gives you confidence that the pest controller follows industry best practices and uses pesticides safely and legally.

Yes — a wasp nest near a frequently used entrance is a genuine safety risk, particularly for children, elderly people and anyone with a wasp sting allergy. Wasps become aggressive when they feel their nest is threatened, and multiple stings can cause anaphylactic shock in allergic individuals. Do not attempt to block the nest entrance or spray it with household products. Call a pest controller for safe removal.

Yes — if you are finding holes in wool, silk or cashmere garments, you likely have a clothes moth infestation. A pest controller can identify the species, locate the source (often in dark undisturbed areas like wardrobe corners or under furniture), and apply targeted treatment. Prevention includes regular vacuuming, washing clothes before long-term storage, and using cedar wood or lavender sachets as natural deterrents.

The most common pest callouts in UK follow a seasonal pattern: rats and mice peak in autumn and winter as they seek warmth and food indoors; wasp nests are treated mainly between June and September; bed bugs occur year-round but spike in summer with increased travel; and ant infestations are most common in spring and early summer. Cockroaches are less seasonal and are typically found in older properties or commercial kitchens.

Remove all exposed food immediately and store everything in sealed glass or metal containers — rats can gnaw through plastic. Clean surfaces with disinfectant, as rat urine and droppings carry Weil's disease (leptospirosis) which can be fatal in humans. Block any visible gaps larger than 15mm with steel wool as a temporary measure, then call a BPCA-registered pest controller in UK urgently.
