Pest control in Manchester, Liverpool, Lancashire and Cheshire 2010
Pest and vermin control in the North West has seen a lively start this year which is unexpected given the somewhat cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest and Vermin controllers were kept working with the usual city centre rodent infestations throughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already provided some ant problems coming in.
The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like being a busy year for flying ant calls.
Usually ants make nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to invade kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at the mating time when they can be most distressing as they release winged males and queens which then fly off to mate.
The appearance of thousands of these flying ants inside homes can be horrific indeed.
A relatively new pest was quite troublesome in the the North West area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest controllers in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire to encounter these pests until recent times but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this spring has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in substantial numbers.
These insects have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to remove.
Those involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are carrying on their return in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area, frequently arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of returning travellers.
Often the first reaction of unfortunates who realise that they have been infested with these hideous,blood-sucking creatures is to burn the old beds and purchase.
This is a costly error as despite their name bed bugs do not just live in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within about five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds will be rapidly re-infested.
Many people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both need a different method of pest control.
They dine solely on blood which they take from their sleeping hosts. People regularly associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not require dirt, they dine on you!
