Here, in addition to the above, we will assess your needs, provide traps, create “midge barriers” and offer hands-on support and advice in their use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572878274432-ATGRVTREZNSJ7CQ9K0HC/Carrick+2.jpg Services - Basic Trap positioning We recommend this for small businesses. We can supply traps and recommend on their location in relation to midge breeding, emergence and resting sites. We can do this using photographs or drawings, or a site visit if necessary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572622359835-W0NCUBX0XI7GJ2CTO3PL/image-asset.jpeg Services - Site visit We will visit the site to visually inspect the area, take photos and create an annotated map with appropriate advise on trap placement. We can also accurately assess midge breeding sites and sample the soil for larvae. We can also supply traps as required. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572361553236-IUD3EUFH6VJQZ2ACF2QA/Carrick1.jpg Services https://www.apsecuk.com/meet-the-team daily 0.75 2022-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572536928934-D07VN3IIVB4JHG3VTJ6A/ABlackwell.jpg Meet The Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1666003988971-7BSV2W4KSWTBZ2TT3S8H/Evie.jpg Meet The Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1574433022576-ZP6EZNAKEXLO4Z6M50CM/IMG_0290.jpg Meet The Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1575020528864-VCMGTCSBCDPXF8KLIZ8M/BM.jpg Meet The Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572537137653-TO8XXB66GI63QSUTGN8S/image-asset.jpeg Meet The Team https://www.apsecuk.com/terms-conditions daily 0.75 2019-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572879005481-VFPLJGXIP7I6GCY47RSZ/shutterstock_569801773.jpg Terms & Conditions https://www.apsecuk.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2022-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572361959787-6MRRT372JMWOQ7YPLP9V/image-asset.jpeg Contact Us https://www.apsecuk.com/privacy daily 0.75 2019-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572879093640-ZN7N52HN5VCPJAX5R0KU/shutterstock_569801773.jpg Privacy https://www.apsecuk.com/home daily 1.0 2019-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572360914736-7BQCMTV3ZL0MOQ7NHWQQ/culicoides2.jpg Home - Expert knowledge With over 30 years’ experience in insect control, we guarantee excellent service. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572360010111-Z8TNMA42VKBGMVDVLFIS/shutterstock_434751073.jpg Home - standardised We work to WHO and EPA guidelines with robust protocols to ensure we meet required standards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572360323816-VONYUT0BGZO8WHLE62U0/shutterstock_342282746.jpg Home - CLient focused We will work with you to provide the best service possible, and tailor our services to your insect-testing needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572356771900-RSYC4DV5NWOQZNNA15R7/shutterstock_569801773.jpg Home - Transient https://www.apsecuk.com/facilities daily 0.75 2019-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572535246508-RKLYG47NJPV4HX7UR8U6/image-asset.jpeg Facilities - laboratory based At APSEC we have an environmentally-controlled laboratory, in which we culture 3 different species of mosquito: Stegomyia (Aedes) aegypti Culex quinquefasciatus Anopheles gambiae https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1573033075278-DVYKR5X5ES9DB72JQMOU/1Untitled_HDR2_TM.jpg Facilities - field sites We have excellent access to field sites throughout the UK and have access to European sites and those further afield on request.

We can also utilise an olfactometer to evaluate repellents in the presence of host odours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572622548630-HRLV5K41KQ8GNUCFTDHB/IMG_0168.jpg Services - insect-control products Our flexible approach allows us to design suitable assays for your insect-control products, be it a new mosquito trap, repellent insecticide or similar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572533468030-RMT12OG3DC4UDXKRJIO2/https---specials-images.forbesimg.com-dam-imageserve-1123394975-960x0.jpg%3Ffit%3Dscale.jpeg Services - Oviposition Insecticides, Larvicides and Repellents We offer simple assays to study the impact of insecticides on mosquito eggs, larvae and pupae, as well as repellents on oviposition behaviour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572533498071-F9HFK1WJEIL0QGT3YEKX/olfactom.jpg Services - Insect Attractants Attractant semiochemicals can be assessed at any scale, from laboratory olfactometers (y-tube, 4-way or free-flying) to full-scale field testing e.g. when incorporated into attractant-based traps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572533427709-69HFC8HNYWVPNNWV4AWJ/TSWEsmtg.png Services - After-Bite Treatments Similar to arm-in-cage testing, where biting is permitted, the after-bite treatment is applied and the relief provided is assessed over time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572361485968-8PDBEPSHFEHRGSPDJ948/image-asset.jpeg Services https://www.apsecuk.com/contact-us-1 daily 0.75 2022-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572361902969-CQQ9LW6DT004OABFCWF3/image-asset.jpeg Contact Us https://www.apsecuk.com/what-are-apsec daily 0.75 2019-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1572361592324-NTBOEFXMYW2IXPWCZUX7/image-asset.jpeg Who Are APSEC? https://www.apsecuk.com/our-partners daily 0.75 2019-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db841f17615a63941c377b6/1574680023250-XYSRBMOKWGJ23XOCVMO5/Carrick+Small+terrace+12.JPG Our Partners - Air Barriers The Barrfly midge and mosquito barrier uses air curtain technology to keep midges and mosquitoes from tracking carbon dioxide plumes giving off by humans. It can be used discretely around any outdoor area, be it permanent or an event gazebo to provide an insect-free zone.
