Pest control in Bolton, Farnworth, Bury and Radcliffe 2010
Pest and vermin control in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire has seen a lively start (2010) which is unexpected given the somewhat cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest controllers were kept busy with the usual town centre rat calls all thoughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold late winter has already brought some ant calls reported.
The wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a active year for ant callouts.
Often ants nest under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to enter kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at the annual mating time when they can be most troublesome as they release winged queens and males which then fly off to mate.
The emergence of many thousands of these winged ants inside your home can be horrible indeed.
A relatively new pest was very numerous in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest controllers in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to encounter these pests until lately but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this year has seen reports of these insects in substantial numbers.
These beetles have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears can eat natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and some fabrics. They are a difficult and tricky pest to remove.
Those involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their return in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, regularly arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.
Regularly the first reaction of those unlucky ones who realise that they are infested with these horrible,blood-sucking pests is to destroy the old beds and get.
This is an expensive mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just live in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found everywhere within about fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds become rapidly re-infested.
Many people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both take a different type of pest control.
They dine exclusively on blood which they syphon from their sleeping victims. People regularly associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not need grime, they dine on you!
