The idea for Monarch Pest Control was first conceived in the early 1980's when I joined Rentokil Pest Control as a serviceman as we were known in those days. I worked through the ranks at Rentokil and finished my time there as a service manager. Eventually I decided to retire early with a view to starting my own pest control company. With the vast experience I had in pest control, it would not have been difficult for me to work for myself in the industry; the only snag was that I didn't know how to run a business.

Bedbugs are increasingly becoming a problem within residences of all kinds including houses, flats, hotels, and other places where humans live and work. Bedbugs are small wingless insects that feed exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded creatures. Certain types of bedbugs can inhabit birds' nests and bat roosts. Others have adapted to living in the homes of humans. Newly hatched bedbugs are very small, about the size of a pinhead. Adults are approximately 6mm in length. When you view a bedbug from above, it is oval in shape.

Stored Product Pests will attack a wide range of foodstuffs; these include cheese, wheat, peas, raisins, nutmeg, linseed, tobacco, rice, lentils, sultanas, cinnamon, cocoa, barley, figs, cloves, and coffee.

Textile pests are unusual in that they can digest the protein keratin which is the principal constituent of wool, animal hair and feathers. Many of the textile pests are also pests of stored foodstuffs. The four moths and two beetles listed above are the most significant pests in the UK. They will all attack clothing, carpets and fabrics made from natural fibres. It is important to deal with these pests as soon as you discover them. When you see an adult moth, the damage is already done as they will have laid their eggs on your clothing and when the larvae emerges from the egg, they are the part of the life cycle that cause the damage to your clothing.
