Scaffolding For Pest Control In Bolton
Whilst a great deal of the jobs done by pest control operatives in the industry can be carried out by means of a standard double extension ladder there are often jobs which need pest control companies to work alongside a a Manchester Scaffolding Company.
These types of jobs often will include bird-spiking, the gluing of harmless deterrents on windows and ledges which prevent the birds from landing without harming them, or handling wasps’ nests and honeybees.
When birds roost on buildings their fouling can quickly build up and is both unsightly and damaging to masonry, not to mention unpleasantness for persons moving below them.
There are also a great number of insects which live with birds and over a period these will begin to infest buildings.Bees and Wasps will often create their nests in chimneys or vents
By nature these sites are regularly too high to be reached by use ladder and the work can be complex needing the erection of scaffolding.
If the chimney is venting a gas fire it is vital to remove any wax, honey or nesting material to prevent the vent being obstructed and causing a carbon monoxide build up.When bees are in a swarm it is usually possible to collect them and re-home them with a beekeeper.
Sadly when bees inhabit a chimney stack they often have to be removed using an approved insecticide as it is rarely possible to remove and re-home them.
Contrary to a myth which seems to have developed over the years, honeybees are not protected. When insecticide is used to remove a honey bee hive all vestiges of honey must be removed as otherwise wild bees and commercial hive bees will rob it out and collect it for their own hives with disastrous consequences.
This level of work often needs a specialist scaffolding firm who are expert about wasps and bees, who have the correct protective clothing and are competent in erecting a scaffold near to these aggressive insects.
Unfortunately scaffolding prices are not cheap and often cost many times the price of the pest controller’s fee.
