Pest and vermin control in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire has seen a lively start this year which is unexpected given the somewhat cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest operatives were kept working with the usual city centre rat problems during the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early spring has already seen ant problems 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 callouts.
Usually ants nest under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to infest kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at the annual mating time when they can be most annoying as they produce winged queens and males which then fly off to mate.
The release of several thousands of these flying ants inside your house can be horrible indeed.
A fairly new pest was quite troublesome in the the North West area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare for pest controllers in the North West to meet 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.
They have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and any fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.
Bed Bugs are continuing their return in the the North West area, often arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.
Often the first reaction of those unlucky ones who realise that they have been infested with these hideous,blood-sucking insects is to burn the old beds and get.
This is an expensive error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within about fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds are instantly re-infested.
Most people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.
They dine just on blood which they take from their sleeping hosts. People regularly associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need dirt, their food is you!
