Pest control in Stretford, Urmston Davyhulme and Flixton 2010
Pest Control in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire has seen a lively start this year which is very surprising given the somewhat cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest controllers were kept busy with the usual city centre rats and mice problems all thoughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early spring has already seen some ant infestations reported.
The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a active year for flying ant problems.
Frequently ants build their nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to invade kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at the annual mating time when they can be most annoying as they produce winged males and queens which then mate in flight.
The appearance of thousands of these winged ants inside your home can be traumatic indeed.
A relatively new pest was especially troublesome in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare for pest controllers in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this year has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in unprecedented numbers.
These insects have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to get rid of.
Those involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their come back in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area, often arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.
Often the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they have been infested with these revolting,blood-sucking creatures is to destroy the old beds and purchase.
This is a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs do not just hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within up to five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds will be instantly re-infested.
A lot of people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both require a different type of pest control.
They dine solely on blood which they syphon from their sleeping victims. People usually associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not need squalor, they dine on you!
