A Review of Pest Control in Bramhall, Poynton, Handforth and Stockport Spring & Summer 2010

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

Pest operatives were kept occupied with the usual city centre rats and mice calls during the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already provided some ant infestation reported.

The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but this year looks like it is going to be a busy year for flying ant work.

Usually ants make their nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to enter food store areas.

However it is at the mating time when they are at their most troublesome as they create winged males and queens which then fly off to mate.

The emergence of thousands of these flying ants inside your house can be traumatic in the extreme.

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

It was not common for pest operatives in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent years and already this March has seen sightings of these insects in unprecedented quantities.

These beetles 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 some fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.

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

Regularly the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they have been infested with these horrible,blood-sucking creatures is to burn the old beds and purchase.

This is often a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs not only live in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within around fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds will be rapidly re-infested.

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

They dine just on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People usually associate bed bugs with dirty living conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need grime, their food is your blood!
