Pest Control Review in Liverpool, Merseyside, Southport and Wirral Spring & Summer 2011
Pest and vermin control in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire has seen a lively start this year which is surprising given the very cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest controllers were kept working with the usual city centre rat calls throughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already brought some ant infestation reported.
The damp summers of the last few years were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but 2010 looks like it is going to be a hectic year for flying ant work.
Regularly ants build nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to invade kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at mating time when they are at their most annoying as they release winged queens and males which then mate on the wing.
The emergence of many thousands of these flying ants inside your house can be horrific in the extreme.
A somewhat new pest was quite prevalant in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest controllers in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in recent times and already this spring has seen reports of these insects in large numbers.
These beetles have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears can eat natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and some fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to eradicate.
Those who work in in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are continuing their come back in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area, frequently arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.
Very often the first reaction of those unlucky ones who realise that they are infested with these hideous,blood-sucking pests is to get rid of the old beds and get.
This can be a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs do not just live in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within about five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds are instantly re-infested.
A lot of people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which cannot be seen by the naked eye. They both take a different type of pest control.
They dine only on blood which they drink from their sleeping victims. People usually associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not need squalor, their food is you!
