Pest Control Review in Manchester, Liverpool, Lancashire and Cheshire Spring & Summer 2010
Pest Control in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire has seen a relatively early start this year which is unexpected given the very colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest controllers were kept working with the usual town centre rodent infestations throughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen some ant calls reported.
The damp summers of the last few years were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like it is going to be a hectic year for ant work.
Often ants build their nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to enter food store areas.
However it is at the mating time when they can be most troublesome as they release winged queens and males which then fly off to mate.
The release of many thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be traumatic indeed.
A somewhat new pest was quite troublesome in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest operatives in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire to encounter these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this March has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in substantial quantities.
Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and any fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to remove.
Those who work in in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their come back in the the North West area, often arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.
Often the first reaction of unlucky people who realise that they are infested with these horrific,blood-sucking pests is to get rid of the old beds and purchase.
This is often a costly error as despite their name bed bugs do not just hide in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within around five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds are instantly re-infested.
A lot of people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which cannot be seen by the naked eye. They both need a different method of pest control.
They dine only on blood which they drink from their sleeping victims. People usually associate bed bugs with unhygienic living conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require dirt, their food is you!
