Cleankill sleuths solve night-time insect invasion mystery

July 6, 2011 - PRLog -- A property management company that looks after a block of flats in Wembley, North West London, called the pest control experts after residents complained that small insects were entering their flats every time they turned on the lights in the evening.

When Cleankill investigated they found that the vine weevils were living in vegetation in the landscaping beneath each window. The insects were being attracted by the lights and crawling in through the windows.

Cleankill technicians carried out control measures around the window frames and advised their client to cut back the vegetation in which the weevils were living.

Cleankill Managing Director Paul Bates said:  “This was an unusual job and required a little bit of detective work. We’re more used to dealing with infestations of insects like cockroaches and moths inside buildings and to get a call about vine weevils is quite rare.”
