My Open Book

Pest Control in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire has seen a lively start (2010) which is somewhat surprising given the very colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.

Pest controllers were kept busy with the usual city centre rodent infestations throughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold late winter has already seen some ant infestations reported.

The wet summers of the last few years were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but 2010 looks like it will be a active year for ant work.

Frequently ants build nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to enter food store areas.

However it is at the annual mating time when they are at their most troublesome as they create winged queens and males which then fly off to mate.

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

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

It was unusual for pest controllers in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester to meet these pests until recent times but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent times and already this spring has seen reports of these insects in large numbers.

These insects 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 are a difficult and tricky pest to remove.

Those who work in in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their resurgence in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area, frequently arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.

Very often the first reaction of unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these revolting,blood-sucking creatures is to burn the old beds and buy new.

This is 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 around five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds are quickly re-infested.

Most 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 only on blood which they take from their sleeping victims. People regularly associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not require grime, they dine on you!
