Liverpool Pest Control

Pest and vermin control in The Merseyside Area has seen a lively and brisk start in 2010 which is somewhat surprising given the very colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.

Liverpool and Merseyside Pest and Vermin controllers were kept occupied with the standard  city centre rodent calls all thoughout the winter of 2009/10, but the quite cold early spring has already provided some ant problems coming in.

The wet summers of the last few years were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but this year looks like it will be a active year for ant problems.

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

However it is at their mating time when they can be most troublesome as they produce winged queens and males which then mate on the wing.

The appearance of many thousands of these winged ants inside your house can be traumatic in the extreme.

A fairly new pest was quite numerous in the Merseyside area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was unusual for pest controllers in Liverpool and Merseyside to encounter these pests until recently but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this year has seen sightings of these insects in large numbers.

These beetles have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to get rid of.

We  who work in in pest control Liverpool note that Bed Bugs are continuing their resurgence in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area, frequently arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.

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

This is a costly error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just live in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within about fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds become rapidly re-infested.

Most people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both a different form of pest control

A Review of Pest Control in Stockport, Didsbury, Cheadle and Gatley Spring & Summer 2010

Pest Control in the North West has seen a relatively early start this year which is unexpected given the somewhat cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.

Pest operatives were kept busy with the usual city centre rodent problems during the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen some ant problems coming in.

The wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but this year looks like it will be a active year for ant calls.

Often ants build their nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to enter kitchens and food cupboards.

However it is at the annual mating time when they can be most troublesome as they produce winged males and queens which then mate on the wing.

The appearance of many thousands of these flying ants inside your house can be horrific indeed.

A somewhat new pest was especially prevalant in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was rare for pest controllers in the North West to meet these pests until lately but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this season has seen sightings of varied carpet beetle in substantial numbers.

Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and any fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.

Those who work in in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are carrying on their renaissance in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, regularly arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.

Regularly the first reaction of unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these revolting,blood-sucking pests is to get rid of the infested beds and buy new.

This can be an expensive mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just live in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within around five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds become rapidly re-infested.

A lot of people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which cannot be seen by the naked eye. They both take a different type of pest control.

They dine just on blood which they syphon from their sleeping victims. People often associate bed bugs with unhygienic living conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require grime, they eat you!

Up to April 30th 2010 Harrier & Manchester Pest Control are offering a 25% discount on their guaranteed ant prevention treatment.

The revolutionary new treatment which is guaranteed for three years, extendable indefinitely in additional three year chunks by a simple re-treatment every 3 years, can be carried out in most homes subject to free site survey
