Pest Control in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire has seen a relatively early start this year which is very surprising given the relatively colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest and Vermin controllers were kept working with the usual city centre rats and mice problems all thoughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold late winter has already seen ant problems reported.
The damp summers of the last few years were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a hectic year for ant callouts.
Regularly ants build their nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to enter kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at the mating time when they are at their most annoying as they produce winged queens and males which then fly off to mate.
The emergence of several thousands of these flying ants inside houses can be traumatic in the extreme.
A relatively new pest was especially troublesome in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was unusual for pest controllers in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester to encounter these pests until recent times but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent times and already this year has seen sightings of these beetles in substantial numbers.
They have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears can eat natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and all fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to eradicate.
Those who work in in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are carrying on their resurgence in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area, regularly arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of returning travellers.
Regularly the first reaction of unfortunate people who realise that they have been infested with these horrific,blood-sucking insects is to burn the old beds and buy new.
This is an expensive 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 and telephone sockets and the new beds will be rapidly re-infested.
Many people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both take a different method of gatley pest control.
They dine exclusively on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People regularly associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not need squalor, they dine on you!
