My Open Book

Pest Control in Liverpool and Wirral has seen a lively and brisk start (2010) which is unexpected given the relatively colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.

Pest and Vermin controllers were kept working with the usual town centre rats and mice infestations throughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen some ant problems coming in.

The wet summers of the last few years were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but this year looks like it is going to be a hectic year for ant callouts.

Often ants make their nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to infest food store areas.

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

The release of thousands of these winged ants inside your house can be horrific indeed.

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

It was rare for pest controllers in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in recent years and already this spring has seen reports of these insects in substantial quantities.

These beetles have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and some fabrics. They are a difficult and tricky pest to get rid of.

Those who are involved in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are continuing their renaissance in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area, regularly arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.

Very often the first reaction of those unlucky ones who realise that they have been infested with these revolting,blood-sucking pests is to get rid of the infested beds and purchase.

This can be an unneccesary mistake as despite their name bed bugs not only live in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within about five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds are quickly re-infested.

A lot of people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which cannot be seen by the naked eye. They both take a different type of pest control.

They dine only on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People usually associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require dirt, their food is your blood!

Until April 30th 2010 Cheshire & Manchester Pest Control are offering a twenty-five percent discount on their three year guaranteed ant prevention treatment.
