Scrap Car London

London pest control has made headlines in early June 2010, when nine months of the twins, Lola and Isabelle Koupparis were attacked by a fox in east London. The twin babies were sleeping in their beds when a wild fox came into their house and badly mistreated. Although the twins were released from the hospital a few days later, doctors said they will both be scarred for life. The incident naturally raised questions about pest control in London, including whether Londoners will focus on threats right in their quest for effective pest control.

London Mayor Boris Johnson felt moved to comment after the tragedy, "People like to think foxes are a wonderful addition to the flora and fauna of London," he said. "But they are definitely a pest. They are a threat to their way to the garbage and, as we have seen in recent days, they may in rare cases represent a threat to humans as well." He also urged local authorities to do their part in terms of pest control fox. London officials, however, was quick to point out that Mr. Johnson did not request a slaughter of foxes, but rather a program of care to pest control.

London has long been a place where residents and businesses need to think very seriously about pest control. Tony Halliday Bypest MD, a leader of London pest control provider. In his view, the threat of foxes has been blown out of proportion to the result of a single major incident. "Obviously, if the twins Koupparis is a terrible tragedy and our thoughts are with the girls and their parents," he said. "But we must not overreact and fall into the trap of victimization foxes. In most cases, humans and foxes can live side by side in an urban environment like London without too many problems arising from pest management. The truth is that children are much more likely to be attacked by a dog or a domestic cat they are by a fox. "

The facts back feelings of Tony. In Bristol, a major city in the United Kingdom similar to London's environmental, 5,480 households were interviewed on the subject of foxes and the fight against pests. Only 2.7% said that foxes often removed from their garbage, 16.4% occasionally and 80.9% never. bins now common in much of London, have made the problem much less frequent. "London is a real pest problem, but foxes are not a large part of it," confirms Tony. "In fact, foxes derive much of their nutrition from food that is provided voluntarily by the owners. Much of the rest comes from wild mammals, birds and even wild fruits. And it is important to remember these categories include animals such as rats and pigeons, which can be much more parasites than the foxes themselves! "

In addition, many foxes see that welcome, rather than the target of pest control. London and the rest of the United Kingdom has been questioned in a survey of wildlife that took nearly 4,000 households. It turns out that 65.7% of us like foxes urban, 25.8% had no strong opinions and only 8.5% of us do not really like the urban fox.

Some households may feel that foxes threaten their pets, but again, the facts do not support this idea. "Before we started moving towards the fight against pests drastic, the people of London should be aware of all the facts about foxes," said Tony. "The truth is that foxes and cats usually ignore each other if they meet in the night. Your cat is probably more likely to be hit by a car attacked by a fox. It is true that Foxes occasionally eat domestic animals such as rabbits or chickens, but you can avoid it safely to shelter your pet foxes simply can not access it. "

As Tony pointed out, there are many other concerns more important when it comes to pest control. Londoners are more lik.
