Falconry team member, Denis Beach, is soaring to new heights!
Denis Beach, a key member of the Cleankill Pest Control Falconry team, has passed his Level 2 Pest Control Exam. This exam involves a written and practical assessment covering pest biology.
Denis previously spent many years working on dredgers out at sea, but was very happy to get his feet back on dry land so he could spend more quality time with his children. Three years ago, he got into pest control and took to it like a duck to water - especially the falconry side.

Yellow Swarming Flies
Like cluster flies, Yellow Swarming Flies (Thaumatomyia notata) are normally active in places where lights are left on all the time. This population was found in an unused room in a block of flats in Haywards Heath. These pests look for places with nooks and crannies to overwinter so it’s best to get on top of the problem before winter. In this case, there were lots of dead flies in the light fittings which could cause a fire risk if not removed.

The 5 pests that become more active in autumn
It’s time to pack away those bikinis, flip flops and sun hats and get out the rain coats, wellies and fluffy socks. As we bid a fond farewell to summer, our attention now turns to the colder months. It’s a common misconception that, as we go into the colder months, pest activity decreases.

Here are the top five pests you should be looking out for this coming season.

As we hit the peak of August, those summer pests are in full force!
