How Britons are being forced to flee their homes from flies, wasps, ants and bed bugs after ‘particularly bad’ summer of pest infestations fuelled by the humid weather, bin strikes and cheap over-the-counter pesticides. Pest control companies have warned that this year has been ‘particularly bad’ for creepy crawlies in the UK.

The Daily Mail article claims Britons are being forced to flee their homes due to a serial insect infestation fuelled by the humid weather.
Experts have warned that this year has been ‘particularly bad’ as the wet warm weather has become fertile breeding ground for insects, including wasps, ladybirds, bed bugs and many more.
Bin strikes across many counties in the UK have created ideal conditions for an explosion of flies – as they feed on food waste and are attracted to the aroma of rotting food.
The cunning pests are also being imported from other countries, such as in plants to garden centres, while deadly Asian hornets are being increasingly sighted in the south of England for the first time.
Meanwhile Britain’s wasp population is set to have soared by 150 per cent this summer to reach 235 billion.
As there are around 67 million people living in the UK, it means wasps could end up outnumbering humans by 3,500 to one.
As a result Britons are dealing with a surge of pesky creatures in their homes – and are increasingly struggling to get rid of them.
Horrifying pictures show an out-of-control ant infestation covering the entire ground floor of a home in south London.
Elsewhere properties have seen sprawling numbers of bed bugs in just a few examples of the bug-steria sweeping the UK.
In one image, a mattress had turned black with the sheer number of repulsive bed bugs.
