A Review of Pest Control in Warrington, Northwich, Knutsford and Lymm, Spring & Summer 2010
Pest and vermin control in Liverpool and Wirral has seen a lively start this year which is somewhat surprising given the very colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest operatives were kept busy with the usual city centre rat infestations throughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early spring has already seen some ant calls coming in.
The damp summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like it will be a active year for ant callouts.
Frequently ants make 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 mating time when they are at their most distressing as they release winged queens and males which then mate on the wing.
The appearance of several thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be horrific indeed.
A somewhat new pest was quite prevalant in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare for pest controllers in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent years and already this season has seen sightings of these insects in large quantities.
They have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and some fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.
Those who are involved in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are carrying on their resurgence in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, frequently arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.
Regularly the first reaction of those unlucky ones who realise that they are infested with these horrific,blood-sucking insects is to destroy the infested beds and purchase.
This is often a costly error as despite their name bed bugs not only stay in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within around five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds become instantly re-infested.
Many 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 exclusively on blood which they take from their sleeping victims. People often associate bed bugs with insanitary living conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need squalor, their food is you!
