Liverpool Pest Control

Pest and vermin control in the Liverpool and Wirral Area has seen a relatively early start this year which is surprising given the somewhat colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.

Liverpool Pest and vermin operatives were kept busy with the usual  town centre rodent problems throughout the winter of course, but the quite cold early spring has already brought some ant calls coming in.

The fairly wet summers of the last few years were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but 2010 looks like it is going to be a active year for flying ant callouts.

Frequently ants build nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to enter kitchens and food cupboards.

However it is at the mating time when they can be most distressing as they produce winged males and queens which then fly off to mate.

The appearance of many thousands of these winged ants inside homes can be horrific in the extreme.

A relatively new pest was quite numerous in the Liverpool and Wirral area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was not common for pest controllers in Liverpool and Wirral to meet these pests until lately but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this season has seen reports of these beetles in substantial numbers.

These insects 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 are a difficult and tricky pest to remove.

Those  who are involved in pest control Liverpool note that Bed Bugs are carrying on their come back in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area, often arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning travellers.

Regularly the first reaction of unfortunates who realise that they have been infested with these horrific,blood-sucking pests is to burn the old beds and get.

This is an expensive error as despite their name bed bugs do not just hide in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within up to five metres 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 a different method of pest control

They dine exclusively on blood which they syphon from their sleeping victims. People often associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not require dirt, they eat you!
