Pest control in Liverpool, Merseyside and Wirral
Pest Control in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester has seen a lively and brisk start this year which is surprising given the relatively cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest and vermin operatives were kept occupied with the usual town centre rat problems all thoughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen ant problems coming in.
The fairly wet summers of the last few years were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but this year looks like it is going to be a hectic year for flying ant calls.
Often ants make their nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to visit food store areas.
However it is at the mating time when they can be most annoying as they produce winged queens and males which then mate in flight.
The release of several thousands of these winged ants inside houses can be traumatic indeed.
A relatively new pest was quite numerous 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 recent times but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this spring has seen sightings of varied carpet beetle in large numbers.
They have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears can eat natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and all fabrics. They are a difficult and tricky pest to get rid of.
Those involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are carrying on their come back in the the North West area, frequently arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of returning travellers.
Very often the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these horrific,blood-sucking creatures is to burn the old beds and purchase.
This is an unneccesary mistake as despite their name bed bugs not only live in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found everywhere within around five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds become quickly re-infested.
A lot of people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both require a different type of pest control
They dine exclusively on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People usually associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need dirt, they dine on you!
