March: Flies already! The first signs of a warm day and cluster flies will become a nuisance. Give Dealey a call. We can solve nuisance fly problems in minutes. Give us an hour and we can keep your house fly free for the year.

For commercial clients a range of electronic fly killers are available at low prices

1st February: Verily, Dealey is expanding. We have taken a falconer under our wing. If you run a large site and have a pest bird population you are vulnerable to all sorts of problems: spread of diseases, fouling of walkways, allergic reactions, fouling of product etc. If you’re of a mind to rid yourself of these problems naturally, we’ll send our falconer your way. Eyes to the skies!

1st November: "Once they're inside the battle is lost." Check your grain stores now for incoming rats. Many root crops currently being pulled will get rats in the area on the move. Your pest controller should have a perimeter of bait in place to stop rats gaining access to your stores. If not you may see rat trails in your grain and you should call us 01359 269713. We'll do a free survey and provide you with a quote detailing how we will control your rodents better!

1st December: Mite are found in over 80% of grain stores. While small populations of mite are acceptable these populations can quickly get out of hand given the right conditions. The mite found in grainstores live on the starch in foodstuffs and can quickly taint stored product with allergens and an unpleasant smell. Mite are almost invisible to the naked eye but can be seen as either a thick powder around the foot of stored grain or as a moving 'dust' on the grain surface. Dealey Pest Management provides cost effective mite control treatments at all stages of the storage process.

1st January: Check stores now for obvious signs of insect activity. These can be as simple as a funny smell, grain 'hanging up' on movement, grain 'walking hard,' grown grain or steaming patches. A good traditional way to check your grain is to take your shoes and socks off and go for a wander through it! Of course you could call Dealey and we'll do something similar with probes and sieves. Store checking is a cheap option in comparison to the cost of a returned load.

April: Dealey can provide any commercial or industrial premises with bird proofing installations. Mills and maltings are often fertile feeding grounds for prolific pigeon populations and installing bird proofing is the best long term solution to stop roosting flocks.
Commercial premises can benefit from netting solutions to stop roosting birds from fouling facades and causing structural damage.
All sorts of sites can be and have been netted for all sorts of reasons; hospitals, garages, hangars, warehouses, vineyards; even landfill sites to stop rubbish flying out and prisons to stop ‘anything’ flying in.
Give Dealey a call.

May: It is the time of year when weevils are beginning to make themselves known again. Weevils are a problem species that exist out of sight and out of mind for many food and seed storers. Now that the year is warming up we have seen a spike in weevil numbers. These large beetles crawl from every nook and cranny of infested food stores and can cause extensive damage to product at vast cost. The long term solution to a weevil infestation requires a truly integrated approach. Don’t fiddle about with other suppliers that slightly reduce the numbers year on year, get in touch with Dealey to put a permanent end to weevil problems now.
