Pest control in Warrington, Knutsford and Lymm, 2010

Pest Control in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire has seen a relatively early this year which is surprising given the relatively cold winter of 2009/10.

Pest and Vermin controllers were kept working with the usual city centre rats and mice infestations during the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early spring has already brought some ant infestation reported.

The wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like it will be a active year for flying ant work.

Usually ants make nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to enter kitchens and food cupboards.

However it is at their mating time when they can be most troublesome as they release winged queens and males which then mate on the wing.

The emergence of several thousands of these flying ants inside homes can be horrific indeed.

A fairly new pest was quite prevalant in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was rare 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 unprecedented numbers.

These beetles 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 all fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to get rid of.

Bed Bugs are continuing their return in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area, regularly arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.

Regularly the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these horrific,blood-sucking insects is to destroy the old beds and buy new.

This is a costly error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within up to fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds become instantly re-infested.

A lot of people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.

They dine just on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People usually associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not need dirt, their food is you!
