Additional common pests
Here are some additional pests commonly found in the UK we can help with and the damage they can cause.
Fleas
Fleas are blood-feeding parasites that infest pets and humans, causing itching, skin irritation, and allergic reactions. Flea infestations can be challenging to eradicate and may require treatment of pets, indoor environments, and outdoor areas to prevent reinfestation.
Silverfish
Silverfish are small, wingless insects that feed on starches, sugars, and cellulose, making them a nuisance in homes and libraries. They can damage books, paper documents, wallpaper, and clothing by feeding on the starch-based glues and fibers.
Carpet beetles
Carpet beetles are common pests that infest carpets, upholstery, and clothing made of natural fibers such as wool and silk. Their larvae feed on organic materials, including animal hairs, feathers, and dead insects, causing damage to textiles and fabrics.
Garden pests
Various pests can damage ornamental plants, fruits, vegetables, and crops in gardens and agricultural settings. Common garden pests in the UK include aphids, caterpillars, slugs, snails, and vine weevils, which can cause leaf damage, fruit loss, and crop failure if left unchecked.
Foxes
Urban and suburban areas in the UK are often frequented by foxes (Vulpes vulpes), which can cause damage to gardens, property, and waste bins. Foxes may dig up lawns, create dens under sheds or decks, and scavenge for food, leading to conflicts with humans and pets.
Seagulls
Seagulls are common pests in coastal areas and urban centers, where they can cause nuisance and damage to buildings, vehicles, and public spaces. Seagulls may scavenge for food in rubbish bins, steal food from outdoor dining areas, and create noise and mess with their presence.
Pigeons
Pigeons are ubiquitous pests in cities and towns across the UK, often congregating around buildings, bridges, and public squares. Pigeon droppings can cause damage to buildings, statues, vehicles, and outdoor furnishings, leading to aesthetic degradation and health risks from exposure to fecal matter.
Moles
Moles are burrowing mammals that can damage lawns, gardens, and agricultural fields by creating molehills and tunnels. Their digging behavior can undermine plant roots, disrupt landscaping efforts, and lead to economic losses for homeowners and farmers.
Hornets
Hornets are large stinging insects that build paper nests in trees, shrubs, and buildings. While less common than wasps, hornets can deliver painful stings and pose risks to humans and pets. Their nests can cause structural damage and may require professional removal to prevent stings and accidents.
Woodlice
Woodlice are crustaceans that thrive in damp, decaying organic matter such as compost piles, leaf litter, and rotting wood. While they play a role in ecosystem decomposition, woodlice can become a nuisance indoors, particularly in damp basements and crawl spaces, where they may feed on mold and mildew.
