Pest Control in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester has seen a brisk this year which is somewhat unexpected given the somewhat cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest and Vermin controllers were kept working with the usual town centre rats and mice problems all thoughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold late winter has already seen some ant infestation reported.
The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but 2010 looks like it will be a active year for flying ant callouts.
Regularly ants build nests under the floors of homes 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 produce winged queens and males which then fly off to mate.
The appearance of several thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be horrific indeed.
A relatively new pest was very prevalant in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest controllers in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire to come across these pests until recent times but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this spring has seen reports of these insects in unprecedented numbers.
They have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to get rid of.
Bed Bugs are carrying on their resurgence in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, often arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of returning travellers.
Regularly the first reaction of unfortunate people who realise that they have been infested with these revolting,blood-sucking pests is to get rid of the old beds and get.
This is an unneccesary mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within around fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds will be rapidly re-infested.
Most people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.
They dine just on blood which they take from their sleeping hosts. People often associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not require dirt, they eat you!
