Pest Control in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester has seen a lively and brisk this year which is unexpected given the somewhat cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest and vermin operatives were kept working with the usual town centre rodent infestations all thoughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early spring has already brought some ant infestations reported.
The wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like it is going to be a hectic year for flying ant work.
Frequently ants make their nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to invade kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at mating time when they can be most annoying as they produce winged males and queens which then mate on the wing.
The emergence of thousands of these winged ants inside your house can be horrible indeed.
A fairly new pest was quite numerous in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was unusual for pest controllers in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this season has seen reports of these beetles in large numbers.
These insects have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and any fabrics. They are a difficult and tricky pest to eradicate.
Bed Bugs are continuing their renaissance in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area, often arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.
Very often the first reaction of those unlucky ones who realise that they have been infested with these horrible,blood-sucking pests is to destroy the old beds and get.
This is a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs do not just stay in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within up to fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds will be rapidly re-infested.
Most people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.
They dine only on blood which they take from their sleeping victims. People regularly associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require squalor, they dine on you!
