The Advantages Of Heat Treatments For Moths 

Many homeowners in North London are constantly having to deal with pest infestations. And one of the most notoriously difficult pests to get rid of are moths. Moths have traditionally been controlled by insecticides and fumigation, but these methods are not nearly as effective as heat treatments. 

Apart from the fact that pest-killing chemicals pose a health threat to humans, they do not eradicate the moths’ eggs. Heat treatments, on the other hand, kill every stage of the moth life cycle. This means infestations are so much less likely to reoccur. In fact, part of the reason we use heat treatments for moths is to ensure that they don’t come back. 

The technique used in moth heat treatment involves generating a high temperature in the infected room or building. This temperature is high enough to cause adult moths, larvae and eggs to die quickly. 

In this post, we are going to look at a few of the advantages of having heat treatments for moths in your North London property.

The Safest Possible Option

Unlike pesticides, treating moth problems with heat is a safe process. It has no known adverse effects on humans or pets. Pesticides are known to contain carcinogens that are harmful to human health, while heat treatments help to completely avoid these potential dangers.

The safe, toxin-free nature of moth heat treatments also means zero impact on the environment. 

You can easily carry on as normal straight after our pest control treatments. Disruption to your life and daily routine will be minimal. With pest chemicals, you would need to wipe everything down afterwards, whereas heat is completely non-toxic and doesn’t leave behind any residue. 

Complete and Long Term Eradication

We are confident that your moth infestation will be completely removed by using heat treatment. Chemical-based techniques don’t kill moth eggs, which carries the risk of re-infestation. Chemicals also can’t generally penetrate into those deeper areas where moths can hide. This ensures that heat treatment will kill all the visible insects as well as the hidden moths too. Heat can get into the smallest nooks and crannies where moths have made their nests. And, because heat treatment doesn’t leave any moths, or their larvae and eggs behind, it offers a long term solution. 

Another advantage to moth heat treatment is that this method usually only needs to be implemented once. In contrast, pesticide spray and fumigation treatments have to be repeated at regular intervals.

Get Rid Of Cluster Flies!!

What are Cluster Flies?

As everyone knows, flies are a huge nuisance almost every time of the year, but cluster flies cause a lot more problems as autumn becomes winter. They seem to always be looking for shelter from the colder weather. Once they have found a warm home they will start to ‘settle down’ for the winter period.

What do Cluster Flies look like?

Cluster flies are a lot larger than house flies. They are coloured as slightly yellow or golden because they have tiny little hairs. They breed in soil and host on earthworms during the larva stage of their development. Similar to many other insects, they move inside for the cold winter months.

How do Cluster Flies get in your home?

• Gaps in roofs
• Through attics
• Inside eaves
• Small gaps in walls
• Through windows

Although they leave after the winter period, they have been known to return to prevues places, which will lead to an annual infestation.

Cluster Flies risks

Firstly, cluster flies don’t have a direct health risk towards humans, but they definitely can be a nuisance. They travel around in large groups of up to thousands of flies. Whilst they hibernate over the winter time, their excrement can give of a very bad smell and they can also stain fabrics and walls.

Cluster flies are a very large problem for your home and other properties that are infested. This is especially for the food industry! They can contaminate food and also spread diseases. If there is any food around your house you have to ensure that all of it is stored away from the pests.
