Pest Control in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester has seen a lively start this year which is unexpected given the relatively cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest controllers were kept working with the usual city centre rats and mice calls all thoughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold late winter has already provided some ant problems reported.
The wet summers of the last few years were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but this year looks like it will be a active year for ant callouts.
Usually ants build their nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to invade food store areas.
However it is at mating time when they are at their most troublesome as they release winged males and winged queens which then mate in flight.
The emergence of many thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be horrible in the extreme.
A fairly new pest was very numerous in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was unusual for pest operatives in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in recent years and already this March has seen sightings of these beetles in large numbers.
Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and all fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to get rid of.
Those involved in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are continuing their renaissance in the the North West area, regularly arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.
Often the first reaction of unlucky people who realise that they are infested with these hideous,blood-sucking insects is to get rid of the old beds and purchase.
This is an unneccesary error as despite their name bed bugs do not just hide in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within around five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds are rapidly re-infested.
A lot of 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 only on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People regularly associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not require squalor, they dine on you!
