Lovely day out in the sunshine last week to set up

Lovely day out in the sunshine last week to set up a new area for bee hives for a client in a North West London.

We decided to use hazel hurdles to allow air flow and to better suit the area it was located and look more natural, rather than have a large area of cement or metal fencing.

After some hard graft digging holes for the posts and fitting the hurdles, I think we did a good job 👍🏻

The new bees will be rehomed here shortly and maintained by us as part of the ongoing relationship with the site to help improve biodiversity and environmental awareness of the site.

Well done to all involved

Successful bumblebee removal on Thursday.

These ladies decided to make they home in a void between a section of breeze block and the main boundary wall behind.

Luckily the bin shelter was coming down anyway as part of some works on site so we were given permission to do what we wanted and remove as much material as we needed, which was a good thing seeing as the breeze blocks were barely being held in and were very loose.
As this is the case they would have fallen down if the lower sections were removed first, so the ones above were taken out before accessing the lower area where the nest was.

These girls were rehomed in a country park in the woods where they will be safe and happy.

You can see from the short Timelapse that when they were left for a few minutes, the ones they were flying around were slowly returning to where the hive was located.

Shiny new piece of kit for the team. 💪🏻
Thank you to @access_cameras for the helpful advice and excellent service 😁
A Pro-Drain 3 CCTV drain camera to inspect for rodent evidence within the drainage system.
In a high majority of cases where rats are entering a property, they do this through the sewers and this can be directly into the building fabric or they can burrow out into the sub-soil and out of the system that way.

In either case there may be a breakage or defect in the pipework that the rats are utilising and as these drains are underground, a drain camera is required to view these areas and check for any damage or proofing such as one way drain valves, repointing of brickwork in the chambers or the repair of pipes.

Such a handy piece of kit as it allows us to investigate further into an potential drainage issue and solve it at its source so that we use less poisons, provide a more permanent solution and the service is more effective.

Some more proofing works completed today.

After proofing the kitchen area where mice were active the tenant of this apartment in South East London then had issues in the bathroom, after a quick inspection it was found that there was a void behind the toilet where the main stack pipe ran down through the building, this was also where the pipework for the kitchen above ran too so it made sense that this is where the rodents were coming up from.

The toilet had to be disconnected and removed as well as the panelling behind so that the void could be accessed properly, stainless steel plates were used to cover the larger part of the void and excluder mesh installed into the smaller parts. The entire area was then cemented to ensure that all the little gap between the pipes was sealed and to prevent any further rodent access into this area.

Ongoing works are continuing with the managing agent to solve the larger scale building issue stemming from the basement where lots of rat and mouse droppings have been found.

Proofing works to a bin room over near Tower Bridge.

We have installed angled metal plates along most of the wall floor junction edges with the rear all having larger metal plates fitted as the bins are being rammed up against this area and are damaging the wall.
This will now prevent further damage as well as mice from entering along the gap at the bottom of the wall.

Lots of other little holes and gaps have been sealed up too meaning that the mice can no longer enter the bin store through these area.

Lovely work chaps 👍🏻

Proofing job for lovely old lady in London today.

Proofing job for lovely old lady in London today.
She was a Spitfire pilot during the war but unfortunately now has dementia meaning she can’t remember much of it 😢

It did mean she came out and offered us a cup of tea every 10 minute which was nice 👍🏻

However there was a very bad rat infestation at the property within the garage where the rats were living inside the car. After a successful trapping programme, cleaning and Biocide spray we have now completed the proofing works to the edge of the garage floor where there were multiple holes.

The length of damaged concrete was angle grinded out and the softer areas removed and dug out to provide a solid base. This has then been re-cemented to block all the holes and ensure no new rodents can enter through here.

A drain valve was also installed after droppings were also found in the drain. The car (which is completely useless) has also been taken away.

With bee season upon us it’s vital to remember how important these little creatures are for the planet.

If you happen to notice a swarm or large amounts of bees in a certain area on a property, give us a buzz 🐝 ☎️
020 8540 9968
Or go to our website for more information https://www.microbee.co.uk/ecology-services/

Bees can take up residence in all manor of places on a building so keep an eye out on areas such as air bricks, soffits and most importantly chimneys (they love a chimney stack)

Microbee carry out all aspects of live bee removal including the removal of building fabric for access, cutting out the comb and safe removal of the bees, rehoming the bees with local beekeepers, proofing the area so that bees do not return and the rebuilding of any brickwork, chimney pots or area which we had to take apart (not including internal plastering or decorating)

As much as it’s important to leave them to their wonderful work of pollinating our gardens and plants, Honeybees can unfortunately cause damage to properties especially in the warmer summer months when the comb becomes soft and honey leakages occur. These can actually travel through brickwork and leak into walls and floors damaging carpet and plaster along the way and there is also a risk of pieces of the comb breaking and falling down the chimney along with the honey and a substantial amount of bees.

So if you notice any bees swarming or large amounts of activity from a certain area on your property, please don’t hesitate to contact us to help safely remove and save those precious bees 🐝

Some proofing works completed during the week in south east London.

Mice have been entering the building through the bin store and going up into the wall cavities, utilising the risers and water pipes to climb up through the property. After a successful treatment involving trapping and baiting in the affected areas we conducted a permanent solution by proofing all the potential ingress points around the building including the weep holes.

The main internal utilities room was also proofed as there were large gaps in the wall voids here too backing onto the risers.

We’ve been very lucky to have a lot of new commercial contract set ups in recent weeks, these have included newly built residential sites as well as office blocks in the heart of London.

An initial site survey is carried out to ensure that the right level of cover is provided and this is very important in the most vulnerable areas such as bin stores and kitchen areas, we identify any areas of improvement to house keeping and hygiene such as a build up of litter or waste (harbourage) and overflowing bins etc, as well as any required proofing works to provide a more permanent solution to pest problems.

Most pest control contracts involve going into places that many others don’t get to see, such as basement areas, rooftops and all the “out of site” places in between such as riser cupboards and plant rooms so it is important that these ares are covered as part of the contract as they are the least disturbed areas and most likely were pests will be found.

Kitchen proofing!

For once it was nice not to have to remove bags and bags of expanding from under the kitchen units where some bright spark has decided to empty multiple cans of the stuff to (unsuccessfully) plug a small hole.

This one was pretty straight forward with holes around pipe work and gaps along the wall floor junctions. We also installed an angled metal plate along the back of the oven to ensure there was no further rodent access into the area and apart from a rather stubborn dishwasher that needed some persuasion to go back in, this job ran smooth as can be and we have another happy customer which is what it’s all about. 😁

A bit of manual labour required this week 💪🏻

A bit of manual labour required this week 💪🏻

Rats have been digging down under the foundations along the wall by these gas boxes and getting under the floors inside the ground floor apartments.

After a successful treatment, proofing works could take place which involved digging a small trench under the gas boxes and along the edge of the building, installing and securing rodent proof mesh in an “L” shape so that the rats can’t dig down and then backfilling with cement and soil.

Very fiddly work underneath the gas boxes but we got there in the end. We will continue to monitor activity in the area with a monthly contract so that any future issues are dealt with before any rodents have an opportunity to cause any more issues.

Yet another successful kitchen proofing job.

Rodents were entering this flat through the floor void and upon inspection there was a gap along the wall-floor junction running the entire length of the kitchen and further gaps and holes in the utility cupboard next to this.

By using angled stainless steel metal plates the wall-floor junctions were proofed quickly and efficiently, with all other areas being proofed using a combination of various methods to ensure that there will be no further rodent access.
Another day, another completed job and another happy customer 😁

A good days work with another kitchen proofed.

Rats had been coming up through the wall-floor junctions and had chewed some areas to make better access for themselves. After a successful baiting and trapping treatment, the proofing could take place.

This one had some awkward areas so the dishwasher (complete with nest), washing machine and oven all had to be removed as well as a section of boxing which was hiding some pipe work.

All the holes and gaps were backfilled with excluder mesh where required and cemented over so that there was no further rodent access.

Top job chaps.

Kitchen proofing time!

This one proved to be a bit of a hassle seeing as whoever fitted the kitchen decided not to place it on a solid base but rather loose soil 🤦‍♂️
and the rear kitchen unit legs are actually floating in most areas. Unfortunately this meant that it was easy for mice to burrow straight under the wall and up into the kitchen with ease.

We had to excavate out as much loose dirt as we could remove to get back to a solid base before meshing and cementing, otherwise they could just dig straight back under again and as you can see, this was quite an amount seeing as it’s underneath a main wall that separates two houses 😬

We then backfilled the voids with rodent proof mesh and topped and covered with cement ensuring to come out a short way to ensure maximum coverage of the area, then after a quick wipe down and mop to remove the dust and dirt, this kitchen was good as new and no unwanted guests will be able visit ever again, great work as always team 👍🏻

We were asked to conduct a survey at an industrial estate as there were concerns that they had rats on site. The results from the survey…. Yes, yes you do.

Quite a serious issue at this site both internally and externally and measures are being taken to rectify the problem including intensive treatments, proofing and a service contract for the entire site.
This unit has been empty for the past year or so and as you can see from the videos, it appears that originally these rats were outside underneath the yellow container and have unfortunately made their way inside through various holes they have created by chewing around the AC cabling. They have also chewed the rubber seal on the warehouse door.

Internally they have been running riot, droppings everywhere and smear marks over most surfaces including the round support beam which I personally believe they are using as slide and thoroughly enjoying themselves 🐀

Unsuccessful proofing attempts have been made outside by someone else and as you can see…. It’s not worked 🤦‍♂️

Management and control of this issue is ongoing but we are working towards a permanent solution 👍🏻

It’s that time of year where rodents come and find warmth and food inside properties.
Now that it’s colder and natural food sources are scarce, mice, rats and squirrels are more likely to venture indoors.

We have done lots of squirrel treatments recently and from this one pictured you can see where they have fluffed up the insulation to make a nest, an easy spot compared to the rest of the completely flat insulation in the rest of the loft.

Tunnel traps and Fenn traps are always a winner and peanut butter makes them practically irresistible to squirrels. Just make sure to disable the safety 👍🏻

Sometimes you just have to look beyond the surface

Sometimes you just have to look beyond the surface of things.

Other pest control technicians had no clue where the rats where coming from and had placed boxes around the area.

As you can see once the small shrubs were moved back, there are several inspection chambers which the rats have breached and burrowed extensively into the sub-soil around the drains.

Doesn’t take a genius to work out the issue here 🤔 🕵️‍♂️

It’s been a while since we’ve posted something

It’s been a while since we’ve posted something. It’s been a busy time.

We have been conducting a larger than average project at one of our regular contracts which has seen a major increase in activity.
Rats have burrowed and nested inside the beds surrounding a Burger King and have been enjoying the delicious left overs in the bin store.

These work consisted of removing all of the bushes and shrubs within the beds to expose the burrows and then digging out the areas to remove the nests.
We have then built a frame around each area and filled these with concrete to create a solid base, we have then placed shingle over the top to make it more aesthetically pleasing for the area.

There is still more work to do here further along the planted areas but it’s certainly a start towards ridding this site of rats. A very good job so far lads, well done.

Spot the traps!

We have had a call out from a building management company having issues with squirrels on their site. Damaging properties and even jumping into peoples windows.

Due to the overlooked location, the traps have been placed up in the trees where the squirrels are know to be utilising but have had to be discreetly placed.

We will be attending regularly to check the traps and monitor the situation, doesn’t help that people are feeding the little buggers
