The legal do’s and don’ts of gull breeding season

Many organisations underestimate how quickly routine gull activity escalates into a legally restricted scenario once the breeding season begins. Gulls commonly nest on roofs, ledges, plant rooms, solar frames, canopies and waste handling areas — especially across coastal, industrial and now inland urban environments where waste provides easy access to food.

Are you ready for gull breeding season? Act now to stay compliant and avoid disruption.

Businesses located near coastlines, waterways, industrial estates and now inland towns and cities are increasingly affected by nuisance gull populations. Gulls are no longer only a coastal issue — urban nesting is rising in areas such as Birmingham due to access to food waste and refuse.

Specialist bed bug control: how to tackle rising infestations in UK homes

Bed bug infestations are rising sharply across the UK, causing stress and disruption in homes. Left unchecked, they spread quickly and are hard to eliminate. This guide explains how Nurture Pest Control’s specialist services provide safe, effective, and long-lasting protection.

What does a bedbug look like?

Bed bugs are very small but visible to the naked eye, with adults measuring up to 7mm in length. These insects lay dormant for most of the day but become active to feed which usually occurs at night. When unfed, they are pale yellow or brownish in colour, but after a full blood meal, they take a darker uniform ‘mahogany’ brown colour. 

How bed bugs affect you and your business

All business premises run the risk of bed bug exposure. From offices to construction sites, it only takes a one female to lay eggs, in a room such as a staff break out area, starting you on your bed bug nightmare.
