Pest control in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire 2010March 31
Pest Control in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire has seen a lively and brisk this year which is surprising given the somewhat cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest controllers were kept occupied with the usual city centre rat infestations throughout the winter of course, 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 (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like being a busy year for ant calls.
Usually ants build their nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to enter kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at mating time when they can be most troublesome as they create winged queens and males which then mate on the wing.
The appearance of many thousands of these winged ants inside your house can be horrific indeed.
A fairly new pest was especially troublesome in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest controllers in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to encounter these pests until lately but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this March has seen reports of these beetles in unprecedented numbers.
These insects have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and any fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.
Bed Bugs are continuing their come back in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, regularly arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.
Very often the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these horrible,blood-sucking pests is to burn the old beds and get.
This is an unneccesary mistake as despite their name bed bugs not only live in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within up to fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds are quickly re-infested.
Many people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.
They dine only on blood which they drink from their sleeping victims. People regularly associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not need grime, their food is you!
