Just so people are know the swallows are back nesting and making the normal mess on some properties

They like properties above ground floor level and build the nests mainly from insect carcases so u should ask any neighbours or your property managers to look out as if you can catch them early enough you can stop them by putting tin foil up temporally in the area that they want to build the nest in.

Also we have lots of caterpillars around, again nest building and they secrete a yellow foam which, along with their hairs is an irritant to skin so watch the children around these

Normally you can just wash there off and then clean down with a mild disinfectant

 If you are talking about the pine caterpillar or known as the processional caterpillar i would recommend anthistamine as they are very nasty.They nest in the pines from Jan to April and give anasty rash to humans.Be very cautious with animals as they can go into shock.They can fall on you when you are under the pine trees .Look on the net as they really should be destroyed with fire.

I read somewhere you can spray hairspray on them (!) because this stops the hairs floating off them as these are the irritants. There is info on Simply Networking about them.
