Pest control in Walkden, Worsley Irlam and Eccles 2010
Pest Control in Liverpool and Wirral has seen a relatively early start this year which is somewhat unexpected given the very cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest operatives were kept busy with the usual town centre rodent infestations throughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen ant calls reported.
The damp summers of the last few years were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but this year looks like it will turn out to be a hectic year for ant calls.
Often ants make nests 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 can be most troublesome as they create winged males and winged queens which then fly off to mate.
The appearance of several thousands of these flying ants inside homes can be horrific indeed.
A somewhat new pest was very numerous in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest operatives in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to come across these pests until recently but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent times and already this spring has seen sightings of these beetles in large numbers.
They have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and some fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to remove.
Those involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are carrying on their return in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area, frequently arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.
Often the first reaction of unfortunate people who realise that they are infested with these horrible,blood-sucking creatures is to get rid of the old beds and buy new.
This is an expensive error as despite their name bed bugs do not just stay in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found everywhere within up to five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds become rapidly re-infested.
Most people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both a different form of gatley pest control.
They dine only on blood which they drink from their sleeping victims. People regularly associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need grime, they dine on you!
