Pest Control in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire has seen a lively start in 2010 which is rather surprising given the very colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest controllers were kept busy with the usual city centre rats and mice infestations during the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen ant problems coming in.
The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but this year looks like it will be a active year for flying ant work.
Often ants make their nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to visit food store areas.
However it is at the annual mating time when they are at their most troublesome as they create winged queens and males which then fly off to mate.
The emergence of thousands of these flying ants inside homes can be horrible in the extreme.
A relatively new pest was very troublesome in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest controllers in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire to come across these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this March has seen sightings of varied carpet beetle in substantial numbers.
These insects have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and all fabrics. They are a difficult and tricky pest to remove.
Those who work in in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are continuing their come back in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area, regularly arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.
Very often the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they have been infested with these hideous,blood-sucking insects is to destroy the old beds and get.
This is a costly error as despite their name bed bugs do not just hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within about fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds will be instantly re-infested.
Most people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both take a different form of gatley pest control.
They dine solely on blood which they syphon from their sleeping victims. People often associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require dirt, they dine on you!
