Pest Control in Liverpool, Merseyside, Southport and Wirral Spring & Summer 2010
Pest and vermin control in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire has seen a relatively early start this year which is unexpected given the somewhat colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest controllers were kept working with the usual city centre rats and mice calls during the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen ant infestations coming in.
The wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but this year looks like being a busy year for ant work.
Usually ants make nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to invade kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at mating time when they can be most distressing as they create winged males and winged queens which then mate in flight.
The emergence of thousands of these winged ants inside homes can be traumatic in the extreme.
A relatively new pest was especially prevalant in the the North West area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare for pest operatives in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire to meet these pests until lately but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent times and already this year has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in substantial quantities.
Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and some fabrics. They are a difficult and tricky pest to eradicate.
Those who are involved in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are carrying on their renaissance in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area, frequently arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.
Regularly the first reaction of those unlucky ones who realise that they have been infested with these horrible,blood-sucking creatures is to burn the old beds and get.
This can be a costly error as despite their name bed bugs not only hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within around fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds will be quickly re-infested.
A lot of 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 solely on blood which they take from their sleeping victims. People often associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need squalor, they dine on you!
