Pest Control in Warrington, Northwich, Knutsford and Lymm, Spring & Summer 2010

Pest and vermin control in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester has seen a relatively early start in 2010 which is rather surprising given the somewhat cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.

Pest operatives were kept busy with the usual city centre rats and mice calls throughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold late winter has already provided some ant infestations coming in.

The fairly wet summers of the last few years were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a hectic year for ant calls.

Frequently ants make their nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to enter food store areas.

However it is at mating time when they are at their most distressing as they release winged males and winged queens which then mate in flight.

The appearance of many thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be horrific indeed.

A fairly new pest was very troublesome in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was not common for pest operatives in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent times and already this spring has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in unprecedented quantities.

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 some fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to remove.

Those involved in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are carrying on their renaissance in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area, often arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.

Regularly the initial reaction of those unlucky ones who realise that they are infested with these horrific,blood-sucking insects is to get rid of the infested beds and purchase.

This can be an expensive error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within around five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds are quickly re-infested.

Many people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye. They both require a different method of pest control.

They dine solely on blood which they syphon from their sleeping victims. People often associate bed bugs with unhygienic living conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require grime, they dine on you!
