Pest Control in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester has seen a relatively early in 2010 which is unexpected given the relatively cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest and Vermin controllers were kept busy with the usual city centre rat infestations throughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already provided some ant calls reported.
The damp summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like being a busy year for flying ant work.
Usually ants nest under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to enter kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at their mating time when they can be most annoying as they produce winged males and winged queens which then mate in flight.
The release of several thousands of these winged ants inside houses can be horrible indeed.
A somewhat new pest was especially troublesome in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare for pest controllers in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester to deal with these pests until recent times but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this season has seen reports of these insects in unprecedented 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 can be a difficult and tricky pest to eradicate.
Bed Bugs are continuing their return in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, regularly arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.
Regularly 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 an expensive mistake as despite their name bed bugs do not just stay in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within up to fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds become 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 syphon from their sleeping victims. People usually associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need squalor, they dine on you!
