Pest and vermin control in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire has seen a lively and brisk (2010) which is surprising given the relatively cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest controllers were kept busy with the usual city centre rodent problems during the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen some ant infestation reported.
The wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but 2010 looks like it will be a active year for flying ant work.
Frequently ants make their nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to invade kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at the mating time when they can be most annoying as they produce winged males and queens which then fly off to mate.
The emergence of thousands of these winged ants inside your home can be horrific indeed.
A fairly new pest was especially troublesome in the the North West area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was unusual for pest controllers in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester to come across these pests until lately but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this spring has seen reports of these insects in substantial numbers.
They have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and any fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to remove.
Bed Bugs are continuing their renaissance in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area, often arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.
Regularly the first reaction of unlucky people who realise that they are infested with these hideous,blood-sucking creatures is to get rid of the old beds and get.
This is an unneccesary mistake as despite their name bed bugs not only hide in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within around fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds will be rapidly re-infested.
Most people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.
They dine just on blood which they take from their sleeping victims. People usually associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not require grime, their food is you!
