WHAT TO DO IF YOU SURPRISINGLY DISCOVER PESTS WHILE GETTING THIS YEAR'S CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS DOWN FROM THE LOFT...

Look out for unwanted festive visitors

Animals such as rats will gnaw away at old books and other items if they find their way into your loft

EXPERTS at a national trade body are urging householders in East Staffordshire to check for signs of pests around the home while getting ready for Christmas.

British Pest Control Association (BPCA) says old nests, droppings and gnaw marks are all indications that an unexpected visitor has been in your loft - and they could have left some nasty surprises behind.

If signs of pest activity are found, BPCA recommends seeking help from a professional to ensure unwanted visitors are out of the house as quickly as possible.

John Horsley, Training and Professional Development Officer at BPCA, said: “If you're going up into the loft to get your Christmas decorations down, it’s an ideal opportunity to check for any signs that pests have moved into your attic.
