MITIE LAUNCHES NEW GUTTER CLEANING SERVICE USING 15M HIGH
SUPER-VACUUM Mitie has announced the launch of a new gutter cleaning service – Space Vac. The new technology uses an extendable Wi-Fi gutter camera and vacuum unit that extends to 15m in length, helping pest control technicians spy on bird pests and then remove any nest debris they leave behind that blocks roof gutters. The extendable pole can reach into box gutters by three feet, aided by an assortment of nozzles to reach into awkward spaces.
Space Vac’s key benefit is its ability to take before and after photos with the Wi-Fi camera placed on the end of the vacuum nozzle. The pest control technician can do a survey of the gutters and ancillary roof areas to ascertain what debris needs to be removed and where. The 15m high vacuum is then deployed to remove the debris, sucking
ENCOURAGING TOILET FLUSHING WITH THE JOLLYTRONIC
SENSOR FLUSH The online sanitaryware and bathroom retailer Lime Kitchen and Bathroom is promoting good hygiene practices in washrooms with the introduction of the Jollytronic Infra-red non-touch sensor flush.
All too often we walk into public washrooms to find toilets unflushed, which then leads to other users not flushing, creating a cycle and leaving the toilet in an even worse state.
There are many reasons as to why we must flush the toilet and the most apparent reason is odour. For establishments such as restaurants there is nothing worse than a foul smelling washroom which could

everything down into the wet vacuum cylinder at ground level.
After the vacuuming, the technician can use the camera once more to ensure that all previously identified debris has been removed and the job is completed. By using the gutter camera and vacuum, all the work is done from ground level without endangering the technician’s safety by having to work at height. Furthermore, it is cost effective as no additional access equipment is required to survey and clean the gutters at roof level.
in turn make customers lose their appetite and discourage them from eating there again.
If left too long, the smell can travel and even soak into clothing. Bad odours and the smell of decaying faeces can also attract cockroaches and beetles which are highly unhygienic and could cause disease. Exposure to faecal matter and human sewage can lead to diseases including hepatitis, gastroenteritis, occupational asthma and even weil’s disease so it is always good practice to flush for the sake of others.
For many public washroom users the reason behind not flushing is due to the aversion to touching the toilet or cistern handle/lever. The handle on the toilet is one of the dirtier areas of a washroom and people believe that by not flushing they are avoiding contact with germs and bacteria which could cause pathogen transfer.
The solution to cleaner public washrooms is the Jollytronic sensor
Gareth Davies, Director for Mitie’s Pest Control and Drone Operation Services, said: “The Space Vac has added a new dimension of accessibility to our avian pest control services. It’s effective and safe to use for our technicians.
“Thanks to the Wi-Fi camera we can provide visual verification of what needs to be done for our clients and proof of completion afterwards. It’s a uniquely delivered service for pest control and progresses Mitie’s practice of engaging technology to improve our service.”

flush which is a cistern push button alternative and is simply operated by waving your hand over the infra-red sensor which will activate the flush. It is easy to install and encourages people to flush and have good standards of hygiene as well as keeping the washroom clean and odourless, as well as reducing the levels of bacteria and germs.
The Jollytronic is suitable for both existing and new cisterns, is operated by AA batteries, and has a lifecycle of 15,000 flushes. There is also a manual override option should the batteries fail. The non-touch system also allows the user to determine how long the flush lasts for with water saving eco- stop mechanism making it a superior water-saving flush valve. This latest technology flush is ideal for all public washrooms especially restaurants, hotels and health clubs where appearance and cleanliness is of high importance as well as for domestic use.
