Pest and vermin control in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester has seen a brisk start this year which is somewhat unexpected given the somewhat cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest controllers were kept working with the usual city centre rodent calls throughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early spring has already seen some ant problems coming in.
The damp summers of the last few years were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like it is going to be a hectic year for ant callouts.
Often ants nest under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to visit food store areas.
However it is at mating time when they can be most annoying as they produce winged males and winged queens which then mate in flight.
The appearance of many thousands of these winged ants inside your home can be horrific indeed.
A somewhat new pest was very numerous in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was unusual for pest operatives in the North West to come across these pests until lately but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent times and already this year has seen sightings of varied carpet beetle in large numbers.
These beetles have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to remove.
Those who are involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their resurgence in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area, regularly arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.
Regularly the first reaction of unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these hideous,blood-sucking insects is to destroy the old beds and buy new.
This is a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just stay in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within up to fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds are rapidly re-infested.
Most people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both need a different form of pest control
They dine just on blood which they syphon from their sleeping victims. People usually associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need squalor, their food is you!
