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

Pest operatives were kept occupied with the usual town centre rat infestations throughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold late winter has already brought some ant calls coming in.

The damp summers of the last few years were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a active year for flying ant callouts.

Frequently ants build nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to invade kitchens and food cupboards.

However it is at the mating time when they are at their most distressing as they create winged males and winged queens which then mate on the wing.

The release of thousands of these winged ants inside houses can be horrible in the extreme.

A somewhat new pest was especially troublesome in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was not common for pest controllers in the North West to come across these pests until lately but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this season has seen reports of these insects in large quantities.

Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to remove.

Those involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are carrying on their return in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire 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 horrible,blood-sucking creatures is to burn the old beds and purchase.

This is often an unneccesary mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just stay in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within around five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds are rapidly re-infested.

A lot of people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye. They both take a different method of pest control.

They dine solely on blood which they syphon from their sleeping hosts. People often associate bed bugs with unhygienic living conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not require grime, they dine on you!
