Pest control in Liverpool, Bootle and Crosby
Pest Control in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire has seen a relatively early start (2010) which is rather surprising given the very colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest controllers were kept busy with the usual city centre rats and mice problems all thoughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen some ant infestations coming in.
The wet summers of the last few years were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a busy year for ant problems.
Regularly ants make their nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to invade food store areas.
However it is at their mating time when they can be most annoying as they create winged queens and males which then mate on the wing.
The emergence of many thousands of these winged ants inside your house can be horrible in the extreme.
A somewhat new pest was quite prevalant in the the North West area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was unusual for pest operatives in the North West to meet these pests until recent times but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in recent years and already this year has seen sightings of varied carpet beetle in unprecedented numbers.
Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and any fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.
Those who work in in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are continuing their renaissance in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area, often arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning travellers.
Regularly the first reaction of unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these hideous,blood-sucking pests is to get rid of the old beds and purchase.
This is a costly error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just live in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within about five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds are instantly re-infested.
Many people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both require a different type of pest control
They dine only on blood which they syphon from their sleeping victims. People regularly associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require dirt, they dine on you!
