to alpha pest control
Alpha Pest Control have been protecting the population of Carmarthen, Llanelli, Ammanford, Neath, Swansea and Port Talbot for over 30 years with local, professional, pest control services. Under the 'Pest Cymru' brand, they offer a range of fixed price solutions to the growing problem of household and commercial pests across South Wales.
What does "pest control South Wales" really mean?
Pest control South Wales refers to the affordable services provided in wasp, rat and insect pest control by Alpha Pest Control, trading as Pest Cymru, based in Llanelli and serving all of South Wales including Llanelli, Carmarthen, Ammanford, Swansea and Neath.
Wasp control in the towns of Llanelli, Swansea and Ammanford is especially important during the summer months. As the climate in South Wales warms, with fewer hard frosts to kill their queens, wasps and hornets are becoming an increasingly reported pest species... posing a danger to people, animals, and property.
Alpha Pest Contol (trading as Pest Cymru... or 'Pest Wales') specialise in wasp extermination and safe wasp nest removals from May to October each year.
In the winter, rats take over from wasps as the most problematic pest species in South Wales. Rats seek shelter from bad or stormy weather by entering people's homes, where they pose significant health risks and transmit disease via their fleas and droppings... and gnaw on electrical cables, creating a risk of fire!
Pest Cymru (Alpha Pest Control) are able to rid you of these annoying, dangerous and dirty pests anywhere in South Wales including Llanelli, Swansea and Neath.

rodents
rats, mice & squirrels
Rats and mice are well known to spread disease and contaminate food.
Once in your home, mice, rats and squirrels present a fire hazard as they gnaw on electric cabling and introduce parasites like fleas, lice and ticks that can cause serious illnesses.
Noise is often the first indication of a rat or mouse infestation. With just a single pair of breeding rats shedding more than a million body hairs every year and leaving 50,000 droppings, any suspicious sound should be investigated quickly!

wasps & hornets
and wasp nest removal
Attempting to treat a wasp nest yourself can be extremely dangerous! Wasps and hornets release an air-borne chemical pheromone when threatened. . . causing all others in the vicinity to become instantly aggressive in defence of their nest and young.

To reduce the risk to you and your family, always arrange for a professional wasp nest treatment. ALPHA's effective solutions (as described in the BONUS content below ) will eliminate the wasps and keep you safe from the ever present threat of stings.
[ THREE COMMON WASP CONTROL METHODS ]Whichever method of wasp nest treatment is employed, protective clothing and a respirator must be worn. Alpha Pest Controller will
SPRAYING: If the wasp's nest is accessible, a specialised aerosol spray is directed into the nest. . which is then IMMEDIATELY scooped whole into a bag, and sealed ready for removal. Victims of a wasp infestation are often surprised at the speed of this removal method. . . which can take as little as 3 minutes to complete and requires no return visit!
PLEASE NOTE that the professional insecticide spray used by Alpha Pest Controllers is ONLY available on licence. Unlike over-the-counter fly and wasp killing products, which may take several minutes to incapacitate the insects (during which time the agitated wasps are very likely to sting!), this preparation is lethal on contact and would, therefore, be potentially dangerous in untrained hands.
POWDERING: For wasp nests that are only partially accessible, or have become incorporated into the fabric of your property's structure (such as in roof spaces or cavity walls), a powerful insecticide powder is blown into the nest's primary entrances using a specialised applicator.
This powder is designed to have a delayed lethality, often in the range of two or three hours, allowing it to be carried deep into the nest by returning drones before killing all wasps in the nest, including the queen.
SMOKING: With this method, an insecticidal smoke is directed into the nest entrances. Although this smoke kills adult wasps on contact, it dissipates rapidly and doesn't eliminate the nest itself, so larvae and eggs may survive.
Smoking a wasp nest is only recommended for particularly innaccesible nests, and is almost always used in conjunction with residual sprays or dusting powder.

insects
fleas, flies & carpet beetles
Flies and fleas are known carriers of gastro-enteritis, dysentery. . . even Salmonella. Because most insects species are tough and breed rapidly, only professional products are powerful enough to eliminate them at all stages of their lifecycle.
