Keeping houses rodent-free this spring
Rodents can be a nuisance in and around the house, so it’s important to address any signs of mice or rats early to maintain a comfortable and safe home. To help homeowners effectively manage rodent issues, Pest-Stop has launched an exclusive rat and mouse control bundle - the Pest-Stop Rat Killer Wax Blocks & Bait Station Bundle – which is available through leading UK retailers. This all-in-one kit includes weather-resistant
rat killer wax blocks, offering a straightforward and effective way to manage rodent issues safely and efficiently. Designed for use across the home - including in sheds, garages, attics and kitchens - the wax blocks perform effectively even in damp conditions. The lockable bait station also ensures the poison is contained, offering added peace of mind for households with children or pets.

door. Each pack of Nemaslug 2.0 contains thousands of tiny, microscopic worms, known as beneficial nematodes. These nematodes are applied to the soil and will seek out slugs to kill. It works by entering the pest through its natural openings and releasing bacteria which ultimately will destroy the slug. The nematodes will then multiply once fed and seek more slugs to abolish. The introduction of Nemaslug 2.0 into
garden centres will continue to roll out throughout the year and into 2025. Nemaslug and other beneficial nematode products are still available to buy online from an array of stockists, including Andermatt. ξ For more information about Nemaslug, visit the Nemasys website at: www.
