Pest Control Review in Bolton, Farnworth, Bury and Radcliffe Spring & Summer 2010
Pest and vermin control in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester has seen a lively start this year which is somewhat unexpected given the relatively colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest operatives were kept occupied with the usual city centre rat infestations throughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold late winter has already seen some ant problems coming in.
The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 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 ant work.
Frequently ants make nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to infest kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at the mating time when they can be most troublesome as they create winged males and queens which then mate on the wing.
The emergence of thousands of these flying ants inside your house can be horrific in the extreme.
A somewhat new pest was very numerous in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was unusual for pest operatives in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this spring has seen reports of these insects in unprecedented quantities.
Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears can eat natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and some fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to eradicate.
Those who are involved in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are carrying on their return in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area, often arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of returning travellers.
Regularly the first reaction of unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these horrific,blood-sucking creatures is to get rid of the infested beds and buy new.
This is often an unneccesary error as despite their name bed bugs do not just live in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within about fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds are instantly re-infested.
A lot of people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which cannot be seen by the naked eye. They both need a different form of pest control.
They dine only on blood which they syphon from their sleeping victims. People regularly associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not require dirt, they eat you!
