Pest Control Review in Warrington, Northwich, Knutsford and Lymm, Spring & Summer 2010
Pest Control in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire has seen a relatively early start (2010) which is unexpected given the somewhat colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest and Vermin controllers were kept busy with the usual city centre rat calls all thoughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early spring has already brought some ant problems coming in.
The wet summers of the last few years were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but this year looks like being a active year for ant work.
Frequently ants make nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to enter food store areas.
However it is at the annual mating time when they can be most annoying as they release winged queens and males which then mate on the wing.
The appearance of thousands of these flying ants inside your house can be horrible in the extreme.
A somewhat new pest was quite troublesome in the the North West area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare for pest controllers in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire to come across these pests until recent times but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in recent times and already this March has seen sightings of these beetles in substantial numbers.
They 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 all fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to get rid of.
Those who work in in pest control note that Bed Bugs are carrying on their return in the the North West area, frequently arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.
Very often the initial reaction of unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these revolting,blood-sucking insects is to destroy the old beds and purchase.
This can be an expensive error as despite their name bed bugs do not just hide in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within up to fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds will be quickly re-infested.
Many people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which cannot be seen by the naked eye. They both need a different form of pest control.
They dine only on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People often associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need dirt, their food is you!
Up to the end of April 2010 Trafford & Manchester Pest Control are giving a 25% reduction on their three year guaranteed ant treatment.
This revolutionary new treatment which is guaranteed for three years, extendable indefinitely in additional three year chunks by a simple re-treatment every three years, can be performed in most houses subject to satisfactory free site survey
