This group spans reptiles, amphibians and beneficial insects, so accurate identification is essential before action.

They may enter through gaps while seeking prey, water, nesting sites, warmth or temporary shelter.

Varies by animal; many feed on insects and can be beneficial in the surrounding environment.

Life cycles differ completely across the listed groups and should be considered species by species.

Direct sightings, droppings, calls, shed skin, nesting activity or repeated entry through the same opening.

Some animals are protected or potentially dangerous. Avoid handling and use trained wildlife or emergency services where appropriate.

Prevention

Confirm the organism before selecting control measures

Remove food, water and shelter where practical

Seal or manage access points and harbourage

Use monitoring and a site-specific IPM programme

Professional support

Arrange a site-specific assessment with PCAMB.
