Pest control in Wirral and Liverpool
Pest and vermin control in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire has seen a brisk start in 2010 which is unexpected given the somewhat cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest controllers were kept busy with the usual city centre rats and mice calls during the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early spring has already provided some ant problems reported.
The damp summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but this year looks like it will be a busy year for ant calls.
Regularly ants build nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to infest kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at their mating time when they are at their most annoying as they create winged queens and males which then fly off to mate.
The release of many thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be horrific in the extreme.
A fairly new pest was quite numerous in the the North West area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was unusual for pest operatives in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire to come across these pests until lately but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent years and already this year has seen sightings of these insects in substantial numbers.
These insects have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and all fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.
Those who are involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their come back in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area, regularly arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.
Regularly the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these hideous,blood-sucking pests is to burn the old beds and buy new.
This is an unneccesary mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just stay in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within up to fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds become quickly re-infested.
Most people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both require a different form of pest control
They dine just on blood which they drink from their sleeping victims. People usually associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need dirt, they dine on you!
