Mouse Control
Mouse infestation in your home isn't just an inconvenience, these smaller commensal rodents can become an active health risk on account of the infectious bacteria and viruses they can spread, mainly from our own waste!
Carlisle businesses are equally open to invasion by these damaging rodents with even more dire consequences when business viability and reputation are threatened.
This becomes a particularly acute problem in kitchens, food processing environments or anywhere that children play.
These aren't cute little pet mice gone rogue, these are wild critters who are doing everything they can, just to survive!

Rat Control
Rat infestations and flood induced migrations of these large rodents can be serious problems for home and business owners in Carlisle!
It is often said that you are never more than 10 yards away from a rat in the UK.
There might just be some truth in that and for that reason it is best to avoid rat problems in the first place!
However, sometimes they defeat even the best defences!
What might give you a clue that you've got a rat problem brewing?
Scratching noises where nothing should be scratching and small, dark brown pellets turning up around the house - rat droppings - are early signs that there's a potential rat incursion.

Ant Control
The usual ant problem in Carlisle and the Solway Plain is the Common Garden Ant or Black Ant.
It's natural habitat is outdoors, with its nests tucked underground amongst plant roots, down lawn cracks, under stones and paving or, less frequently, in brickwork.
The ants invade houses in search of food, particularly sugar, jam, honey, treacle etc.
The number of ants involved in an infestation is often very large, which means that there is no quick or easy method for a householder to clear these pests from their home.

Bedbug Control
Infestation by bed bugs isn't usually due to bad housekeeping or poor hygiene but the simple result of coming into contact with them at some stage.
Bed bugs aren't picky!
Bed bugs are typically reddish-brown in colour, a flattened oval in shape and about 5- 7mm long.
The flattened body has evolved so that it's easy for them to hide in cracks and tiny holes.
They lurk there until a meal comes to rest within reach of their hiding place.
Once they've reached a food source i.e. you; bed bugs stay close!

Flea Control
Sometimes our dearly beloved pets can bring some unwanted guests indoors with them.
The humble flea loves nothing more than some warm, juicy mammal to extract some nutritious blood from.
These insect parasites need to extract a blood meal from their host to thrive and breed.
Their most common route into our homes and business premises is with our warm blooded pets.
Once established in a space, the fleas may not be a noticeable problem until a rodent or pet host is caught and removed or you and your pets have been away for an extended period.

Wasp Control
We're probably all familiar with that sudden sharp stab of pain that tells us we've just disturbed a wasp!
Starting in spring when the queen wasps come out of hibernation there are no active wasp nests to worry about, just surviving queens looking for suitable places to build new nests.
Curiously, their fierce looking "mouth" parts are just mandibles used for catching and feeding prey to their larvae.
Adults suck liquid such as nectar through tubes mouths like bees.
The other use of mandibles is for stripping and pulping the wood needed for nest construction.

Property Maintenance
Does your brickwork need repointing?
Due to decay and weathering, gaps can appear in the mortar.
This not only looks untidy but can be the cause of major problems including dampness due to water ingress.
The repointing of a building will eliminate these issues and aesthetically enhance the area greatly.
If you are unsure whether repointing would benefit your property, contact Carlisle City Control today for advice guidance and a free quote if requested.
We have vast experience as patio layers and garden designers.
