As we are entering the height of the wasp and ant season, we've called in Rentokil and we're running a Q&A with Rentokil's entomologist Matthew Green about biting and stinging insects.
To help parents manage the risk of wasps, Rentokil's interactive UKWaspWatch map tracks sightings of wasps to create a picture of wasp hotspots across the country. This year, Rentokil has teamed up with The Anaphylaxis Campaign (the UK charity focused on helping people living with severe allergies) and will donate 20p to the charity every time a person logs a wasp or wasps' nest sighting onto UKWaspWatch throughout the summer. The site also includes information on what parents should do if their child is stung. If you discover a wasp nest, Rentokil offer a next working day (Mon-Fri) service. Book on-line for a discount.
So if fleas have you hopping or you are worried about stinging insects or biting nasties such as bed bugs and mosquitoes turning a relaxing break into the holiday from hell please post your questions on this thread to Matthew before the end of day Thursday 28th July 2011 and we'll be linking to his answers from this thread in early August.
