Pest control in Stretford, Urmston and Flixton 2010

Pest Control in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire has seen a brisk (2010) which is somewhat surprising given the very cold winter of 2009/10.

Pest and Vermin controllers were kept busy with the usual town centre rat calls during the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen ant problems coming in.

The wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a hectic year for ant work.

Often ants make their nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to invade kitchens and food cupboards.

However it is at their mating time when they can be most annoying as they produce winged queens and males which then mate in flight.

The emergence of many thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be traumatic indeed.

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

It was rare for pest controllers in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire to deal with these pests until lately but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this March has seen reports of these beetles in substantial numbers.

These beetles have 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 remove.

Bed Bugs are continuing their return in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area, regularly arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.

Regularly the first reaction of unfortunate people who realise that they have been infested with these horrible,blood-sucking creatures is to get rid of the old beds and purchase.

This is a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs do not just stay in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within around fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds become instantly re-infested.

Many people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.

They dine solely on blood which they take from their sleeping hosts. People usually associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require dirt, they eat you!
