Pest control in Bramhall, Handforth and Stockport 2010
Pest Control in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester has seen a relatively early in 2010 which is somewhat unexpected given the very cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest operatives were kept busy with the usual city centre rat calls during the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already brought some ant infestations coming in.
The wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like it is going to be a active year for ant problems.
Often ants make nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to invade 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 fly off to mate.
The appearance of many thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be traumatic indeed.
A fairly new pest was quite prevalant in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was unusual 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.
They have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called 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 eradicate.
Bed Bugs are carrying on their return in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, regularly arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.
Very often the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these horrific,blood-sucking pests is to burn the old beds and buy new.
This is a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within around five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds will be quickly re-infested.
Many people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.
They dine exclusively on blood which they take from their sleeping victims. People regularly associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not require squalor, they eat you!
