Pest control in Trafford, Altrincham, Manchester and Cheshire 2010
Posted March 29th, 2010 by Spike
Pest Control in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire has seen a brisk in 2010 which is somewhat unexpected given the relatively cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest controllers were kept occupied with the usual city centre rat infestations all thoughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early spring has already seen ant infestation reported.
The wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like it will be a active year for flying ant problems.
Usually ants nest under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to infest kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at their mating time when they can be most distressing as they produce winged males and queens which then mate in flight.
The emergence of several thousands of these winged ants inside houses can be horrific indeed.
A relatively new pest was very troublesome in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare for pest controllers in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire to meet these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this March has seen reports of these insects in unprecedented numbers.
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 any fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.
Those involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are carrying on their renaissance in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area, often arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.
Very often the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these revolting,blood-sucking insects is to get rid of the old beds and buy new.
This is a costly error as despite their name bed bugs do not just hide in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within around five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds are quickly re-infested.
A lot of people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both need a different form of pest control.
They dine solely on blood which they syphon from their sleeping victims. People often associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require dirt, they eat you!
