They regularly invade properties in search of food.\u00a0<a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rentokil.co.uk\/residential-customers\/home-pest-control\/crawling-insects\/ants\/index.html\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/li>\n<li><b>Wasps:<\/b>\u00a0Another traditional summer problem, the presence of wasps can pose a real issue if left unattended. Wasp stings can be very dangerous and because large wasp nests are known to contain as many as 25,000 wasps, the potential danger should never be underestimated.<\/li>\n<li><b>Mice:<\/b>\u00a0A tendency to nest in warm tight spaces within a property, mice take great pleasure in gnawing on everyday household objects and food. They are also spreaders of disease.<\/li>\n<li><b style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Rats:<\/b><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">\u00a0A preference for living outdoors, of all the rat breeds within the UK, the Brown Rat is by far the most common. Infestations can lead to costly damage and the spread of disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Spiders:<\/b>\u00a0Generally harmless, spiders are still one of the most feared pests in the UK and infestations need to be removed on occasion.<\/li>\n<li><b>Moths:<\/b>\u00a0Clothes Moths are one of the most unpopular pests in the UK due to their destructive tendencies. They are known to lay sticky eggs on natural clothing and when the white caterpillar larvae hatch they can cause extensive damage to clothes, carpets and upholstery.<\/li>\n<li><b>Woodlice:<\/b>\u00a0Again harmless, they can make people uncomfortable when finding their way inside a house.<\/li>\n<li><b style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Bedbugs:<\/b><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">\u00a0A liking for cracks, crevices and under carpets, bed bugs feed on human blood and can be very difficult for untrained people to eradicate.\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\" title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rentokil.co.uk\/commercial-pest-control\/pest-problems\/bed-bug-control\/index.html\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/li>\n<li><b style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Cockroaches:<\/b><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">\u00a0A pest that has stood the test of time throughout the ages, these pests love to live in warm houses, kitchens and wall cavities and will come out after dark in search of food.
