Pest control in Trafford, Altrincham, Manchester and Cheshire 2011

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

Pest operatives were kept working with the usual city centre rats and mice problems during the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already brought some ant infestation coming in.

The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but this year looks like it will be a busy year for ant callouts.

Regularly ants nest under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to visit kitchens and food cupboards.

However it is at mating time when they are at their most distressing as they release winged males and queens which then mate in flight.

The release of many thousands of these winged ants inside your home can be horrible in the extreme.

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

It was unusual for pest operatives in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester to deal with these pests until lately but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent times and already this March has seen sightings of these insects in unprecedented numbers.

Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears can eat natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and some fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to get rid of.

Those involved in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are carrying on their come back in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, regularly arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.

Often the first reaction of unfortunate people who realise that they are infested with these revolting,blood-sucking insects is to burn the old beds and get.

This is an unneccesary error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within about five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds are quickly re-infested.

A lot of people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both require a different form of gatley pest control.

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