Bristol-based Good Riddance Pest Control is offering free support to its local foodbank – the Clevedon District Foodbank.

Cleankill Pest Control has long been recognised for its expertise in the provision of pest control measures to stop problem birds such as pigeons, gulls and parakeets.

Good Riddance Pest Control is to be rebranded as Cleankill Pest Control as part of the company’s strategy for expansion in the Bristol and South-west region.

Established by Howard Taffs in 2002, Good Riddance Pest Control is known for delivering high-quality pest control services to residential and commercial customers in the Bath, Bristol and Weston-Super-Mare regions.

The sudden increase in temperature and sunshine has meant an explosion of blossom and noticeable increase in bees going about their work.

There has also been a worrying surge in calls to pest controllers from people confusing bees with wasps and asking for treatment.

The lockdown has resulted in an increase in calls from residential premises to a London pest control company as people are spotting furry intruders and insects that would often go unnoticed.

Managing Director Paul Bates of Cleankill Pest Control says the mental health implications of having an infestation during lockdown when you can’t leave your home can be quite serious for some.
