Super Fitness Health BlogA Review of Pest Control in Northwich, Middlewich, Ellesmere Port and Weaverham Spring & Summer 2011
Pest and vermin control in Liverpool and Wirral has seen a lively and brisk start this year which is somewhat surprising given the somewhat cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest controllers were kept working with the usual town centre rat problems during the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold late winter has already brought some ant infestations coming in.
The damp summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but 2010 looks like it will be a hectic year for ant callouts.
Usually ants make nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to visit kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at the annual mating time when they can be most distressing as they release winged males and winged queens which then fly off to mate.
The emergence of many thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be horrible indeed.
A relatively new pest was quite numerous in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare for pest controllers in the North West to meet these pests until lately but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this season has seen sightings of these beetles in substantial numbers.
These insects 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 persistent pest to eradicate.
Those who are involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their return in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area, frequently arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.
Regularly the initial reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they have been infested with these revolting,blood-sucking creatures is to destroy the infested beds and get.
This can be an expensive error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just live in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within about five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds are quickly re-infested.
A lot of people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye. They both take a different method of pest control.
They dine just on blood which they take from their sleeping hosts. People usually associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not require dirt, they eat you!
