Whilst much of the jobs carried out by pest control companies in the course of their business can be carried out by means of a basic double extension ladder there are occasionally jobs which need pest controllers to work alongside a a Manchester Scaffolding Company.
These types of jobs often will be bird-spiking, the placing of bird friendly deterrents on windows and ledges which prevent the birds from landing without hurting them, or removing wasps’ nests and honeybees.
When birds land on buildings their droppings can rapidly build up and is both unsightly and harmful to masonry, not to mention inconvenient for persons walking below them.
There are also many of insects which live with birds and over a period these will begin to enter buildings.Bees and Wasps will often build their nests in chimneys or vents
By definition these sites are commonly too high to be accessed by use ladder and the work can be tricky needing the building of scaffolding.
If the chimney is venting a gas fire it is vital to remove any honey and wax etc to prevent the vent being obstructed and causing a carbon monoxide build up.When honey bees are in the swarm stage it is often possible to box them and re-home them in a beekeepers hive.
Unpleasantly when bees inhabit a chimney stack they often have to be disposed of using an approved insecticide as it is not usually possible to remove and re-home them.
Contrary to mythology which seems to have developed over the years, honeybees are not protected in any way. When insecticide is used to destroy a honey bee colony all amounts of honey must be removed as otherwise wild bees and commercial hive bees will rob it out and feed it to their own colonies with disastrous consequences.
This level of work often needs a specialist scaffolding firm who are confident about wasps and bees, who have the correct protective equipment and are competent in erecting a scaffold near to these angry insects.
Sadly scaffolding prices are not cheap and often cost many times the price of the pest controller’s fee.
