Hello

 

I don't know much about this side of pest control - moles are my thing - so sorry if this a bit obvious! What are the worm-like things in the centre of the picture? Is something caught or part of the bait?

Just some paste bait i squirted on the attractant sachet to entice a few more cockroaches into the monitor trap.

i would class ferreting as a hobby

yes alot of people do ferret just for fun/sport because it is fun, but it is also a very efficient method of reducing numbers as part of a control programme.

Rolfe is it true you should go in the dark and shine a torch under the cupboards then they all drop down . COCK roaches why that name . keep up the good work .Hope you washed your hands mucky bugger

shinning a torch, tends to make them scarper

It's true that shining a light does make them scarper.......they love dark places (bit like me ) There are a lot of COCKS in the insect world....Cockchaffer is another one. What about the nursery ryhme "Ride a Cock-Horse To Banbury Cross" but perhaps we hadn't ought to pursue that one ;)

As for washing your hands i always wear rubber gloves when carrying out any work that involves insecticides etc. But Mucky Bugger........oh yes.

nice going Steve , you must be near the source /nest by the amount of nymph,s that are on the glue board , can I take an educated guess ?? was that glue board behind the fridge ?? best regards Steve (ps : got to go now and do a second visit for mice in a ladies house , this evening at 6: 30 pm , definatley not a 9 to 5 job being a pestie )

Close Mate.........that glue-board was under the sink........always a good place to put one, but the one under the dishwasher contained the most nymphs....warm and humid and greasy i suppose.
