We regularly receive calls about wasps getting into bedrooms, bathrooms, and lofts. Even outside peak wasp season, it’s not unusual for queens or stray workers to find their way indoors in search of warmth and light. They’re often drawn to light bulbs, loft spaces, or areas near central heating.

Rodents are another issue we deal with every day. The idea of a ‘quiet season’ for rats and mice is long gone. Heavy rainfall can flood sewers and drains, pushing rodents into homes and businesses where they look for food and shelter.

If you’re hearing scratching sounds, finding droppings, or spotting damage to food packaging or wiring, it could be a sign of rodent activity.

If you’re dealing with pests or just want advice on prevention, we’re here to help. For expert pest control in Bolton, Preston, and throughout Lancashire and Greater Manchester, speak to Ian Smith Pest Control. We’re happy to talk through your concerns and recommend the best solution for your home or business.
