Bolton Scaffolding in Pest Control

Bolton Scaffolding in Pest Control – Whilst nearly all the jobs carried out by pest controllers in their daily work can be achieved by use of a standard double extension ladder there are occasionally jobs which need pest control companies to work in conjunction with a Bolton Scaffolding Company.

This type of work often will be bird-spiking, the placing of harmless deterrents on windows and ledges which stop the birds from landing without harming them, or removing wasps’ nests and honey bees.

When birds land on buildings their waste can quickly accumulate and is both unsightly and harmful to masonry, not to mention inconvenient for people passing underneath.

There are also a great number of insects associated with birds and over a period of time these will often to invade buildings.Wasps and Bees will often build their nests in vents or chimneys

By definition these sites are commonly too high to be reached using a ladder and the work can be complex necessitating the placing of scaffolding by a competent scaffolding company.

If the chimney is the vent for a gas fire it is important to remove any nesting material, wax or honey to stop the vent being clogged and causing a danger to health and safety.When honey bees are in a swarm it is usually possible to capture them and re-home them with a local beekeeper.

Sadly when bees build their home in a chimney stack they often have to be destroyed utilising an approved insecticide as it is sadly not possible to remove and re-home them.

Contrary to mythology which seems to have grown over time, honeybees are not protected in any way. When insecticide is used to eradicate a honey bee colony all amounts of honey must be collected as otherwise wild bees and commercial hive bees will rob it out and collect it for their own colonies with disastrous consequences.

This type of work often needs a specialist scaffolding firm who are knowledgeable about bees and wasps, who own the correct protective equipment and are confident in erecting a scaffold nearby these aggressive insects.

Unfortunately scaffolding prices are not cheap and often cost many times the price of the pest controller’s fee.
