Glis Glis - 20th April 2017

The warm weather has resulted in early Glis Glis activity this week. We caught one today, although they do not normally become active until mid-May onwards.

Queen Wasps - 20th April 2017

We are also getting regular sightings of queen wasps. If the weather continues both these pests could be very active this year.

Feral Pigeons - 20th April 2017

Feral pigeons also appear to be on the increase with large numbers taking up residence on buildings around Amersham, Chesham and Little Chalfont.

Wasps - 18th April 2017

We have begun to receive calls regarding wasps this week. The warm weather means queens have started to emerge from hibernation to restart their life cycle. The queens are easily distinguishable being larger than normal wasps.

If you are seeing queens at this time of year there is a good possibility that you will have an established population later in the year.
