Pest control in Stretford, Urmston Davyhulme and Flixton 2011

Pest Control in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire has seen a brisk start this year which is surprising given the somewhat colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.

Pest controllers were kept working with the usual town centre rats and mice problems all thoughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already brought some ant calls coming in.

The fairly wet summers of the last few years were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like being a hectic year for flying ant callouts.

Frequently ants nest under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to infest kitchens and food cupboards.

However it is at the annual mating time when they are at their most troublesome as they release winged queens and males which then mate on the wing.

The release of several thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be horrific indeed.

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

It was rare for pest operatives in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester to encounter these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this spring has seen sightings of varied carpet beetle in substantial numbers.

These beetles have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears can eat natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and all fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to remove.

Those who ar einvolved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their return in the the North West area, frequently arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning travellers.

Very often the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they have been infested with these revolting,blood-sucking pests is to get rid of the old beds and buy new.

This is an expensive mistake as despite their name bed bugs not only stay in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within up to five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds are instantly re-infested.

Most people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both take a different method of gatley pest control.

They dine exclusively 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 require squalor, they eat you!

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.

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!
