This post was originally published last year. I’m travelling for a few weeks, so I’m reloading some of my favourite stories from 2011. Normal service will resume when I get back.

Northampton v Wasps: Teams

Jim Mallinder: Wary of Wasps threat

Rugby Coach Delighted at Wasps’ Russian Raid

The Bugman — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 23:28:34 +0000

Russian rugby internationals Vladislav Korshunov and Viktor Gresev can only benefit from their recent transfer to London Wasps, national team head coach Kingsley Jones told RIA Novosti in an interview.

Korshunov and Gresev are stalwarts of the Russia team who featured in the country’s impressive World Cup debut in 2011. Korshunov, 28, plays as a hooker and is the national team captain, while 25-year-old Gresev is a No. 8 who was named Russia’s player of the year in 2009 and 2011.

They switched to Wasps from Russian club side VVA-Podmoskovye last week.

“I was delighted, to be honest,” Jones told RIA Novosti at the Russian Rugby Academy over the weekend. ” I think it’s a great experience for the two of them to be able to play in the Premiership and valuable for them to learn the culture and see what professional sport is like in the UK at a top club, although [Wasps are] struggling at the moment.”

Wasps said in a statement that the Russians would cover for more established members of the team. Gresev turned down an offer from second-tier side Nottingham to join Wasps, who are currently 11th of 12 teams in the Premiership.

“I think it’s about playing, but it’s also about the environment. [Wasps have] won European trophies, and I’ll be very surprised if [Gresev] doesn’t play much. I think he’ll play for Wasps as much as he would for Nottingham.

“And I’m good friends with David Young, so there’s more to it than just sending them to a club. I know David Young, Paul Turner, James Wade, the recruitment manager, they’re all friends, so I trust that [Korshunov and Gresev] go there and I trust that they get some rugby if they deserve it, and that they’ll be released appropriately if and when I need them.”

Jones said that he was not worried about the players being released for international duty, as this was covered by International Rugby Board regulations.

The four Russian internationals currently based in England – including Vasily Artemyev of Northampton Saints and Andrei Ostrikov of Sale Sharks – will feature in the European Nations Cup which starts on February 4, but may not play in all Russia’s games, Jones said. This would allow emerging talents at Russian clubs an opportunity to play, he added.

Pest Control in Blackpool & Other Seaside Holiday Resorts

The Pest Man — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 14:17:12 +0000

Pest Control in Blackpool & Other Seaside Holiday Resorts

Seaside pest control brings its own set of special circumstances which sometimes require a different approach to more inland towns.

Firstly the very logistics of working in a busy seaside holiday resort can be problematic, even the basics of parking your van near the customers’ premises can be difficult especially when equipment needs to be carried. This can lead to increased charges which have to be passed onto the customer.

In summer premises are often open seven days a week and even twenty-four hours a day thus leaving little opportunity for the pest controller to go about his work.

This may not cause too much difficulty in routine preventative inspection visits but can cause extreme problems when infestation is detected in that often pesticides require premises to be vacated for a period of time.

In winter the opposite situation may occur where premises are closed for several months leaving a pest infestation to develop undetected.

Seaside holiday resorts usually have a large number of takeaways providing food to eat on the go and often will be littered overnight with uneaten food scraps providing food for rats and seagulls.

Often daily waste collections mean that bagged food waste is put outside overnight thus encouraging rodents.

Seagulls are obviously a nuisance with their noise and fouling but often will take food stuffs up onto roofs and ledges causing a build up of rotten materials which produce flies and maggots.

Perhaps the most difficult aspect of seaside pest control is the resurgence of the bed bug which in recent years has seen numbers rise exponentially.

A high transient population of holiday makers often staying in inexpensive, high turnover accommodation means that the bugs can spread quickly throughout a resort and even expensive upmarket establishments are not exempt.

The very nature of a bed bug infestation means that it is difficult and expensive to cure and news of infestation is often of interest to local press who will often carry a story about a guest being bitten, thus ruining the reputation of the establishment.

Bed bug infestations require that the infested bedroom and those adjacent be treated thus losing revenue for the establishment.

A hotel or guest house could also find themselves liable for the cost of dealing with an infestation at the homes of their guests as the bugs are easily transported in luggage.

Pest Prevention carry out annual preventative inspections and treatment where necessary and can be contacted on 0800 019 8382 or

Pest Control In Manchester & Other Large Cities

Pest Control In Manchester & Other Large Cities by Ken Chadwick

Big city pest control brings its own set of special circumstances which sometimes require a different approach to smaller and quieter towns.

Firstly the very logistics of working in a busy big city can be problematic, even the basics of parking your van near the customers’ premises can be difficult especially when equipment needs to be carried. This can lead to increased charges which have to be passed onto the customer and sometimes these can be substantial.

Premises are often open seven days a week and even twenty-four hours a day thus leaving little opportunity for the pest controller to go about his work.

Big towns & cities usually have a large number of takeaways providing food to eat on the go and often will be littered overnight with uneaten food scraps providing food for rats, pigeons and seagulls which have now moved inland.

Often daily waste collections mean that bagged food waste is put outside overnight thus encouraging rodents.

Pigeons & Seagulls are obviously a nuisance with their noise and fouling but often will take food stuffs up onto roofs and ledges causing a build up of rotten materials which produce flies and maggots.

Pigeons will often roost and nest in roof spaces for many years leading to a large build up of pigeon guano and often their droppings can make the walkways below slippery and dangerous.

Most big cities have a varied ethnic mix with a variety of shops and restaurants supplying foods from all over the world. Often these foods are imported in bulk from countries where pests such as cockroaches are endemic and these pests are then brought into the U.K. hidden away in the goods and packaging.

Perhaps the most difficult aspect of big city pest control is the resurgence of the bed bug which in recent years has seen numbers rise exponentially.

A high transient population of visitors often staying in inexpensive, high turnover accommodation means that the bugs can spread quickly throughout a city and even expensive upmarket establishments are not exempt.

Bed bug infestations require that the infested bedroom and those adjacent be treated thus losing revenue for the establishment.

How Much Does a Pest Control Company Cost

How Much Does a Pest Control Company Cost?

Welcome to Harrier Pest Prevention dealing with all types of pest control in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. We are available to help seven days per week on 0800 019 8382 or 01257 230637.

How Much Does a Pest Control Company Cost? – That’s a very difficult question to consider. It’s a little bit like ringing a mechanic and asking him how much to fix your car without being able to see it and diagnose the problem, virtually impossible to do.

Some jobs are pretty straightforward and here at Harrier Pest Prevention we are happy to give a fixed price on wasps’ nests but virtually every other pest problem will require a no obligation, free of charge site visit.

I would indeed be wary of any pest control company that are prepared to give prices without a site survey as this may indicate that they are not carrying out correct risk-assessments and are not mindful of the safety of you, your children and your pets.

For your no obligation site visit in Lancashire, Cheshire or Greater Manchester contact Harrier Pest Prevention or phone 0800 019 8382.
