Pest and vermin control in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire has seen a lively start in 2010 which is unexpected given the very colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest and vermin operatives were kept working with the usual city centre rodent problems during the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen ant problems coming in.
The wet summers of the last few years were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but this year looks like it is going to be a active year for flying ant work.
Frequently ants nest 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 mating time when they can be most distressing as they release winged males and queens which then fly off to mate.
The release of many thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be horrible indeed.
A fairly new pest was quite troublesome in the the North West area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest controllers in the North West to meet these pests until recently but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent times and already this March has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in unprecedented numbers.
These beetles have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to remove.
Those who ar einvolved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their return in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, frequently arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.
Often the first reaction of unfortunate 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 expensive mistake as despite their name bed bugs not only hide in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within about fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds are quickly re-infested.
Many people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both take a different type of gatley pest control.
They dine solely on blood which they take from their sleeping victims. People usually associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not need grime, they dine on you!
