Pest Control in Liverpool and Wirral has seen a lively and brisk start this year which is very surprising given the very cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest operatives were kept working with the usual city centre rat calls throughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold late winter has already provided some ant problems reported.
The fairly wet summers of the last few years were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but this year looks like it will turn out to be a hectic year for flying ant calls.
Often ants make nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to visit food store areas.
However it is at the annual mating time when they can be most annoying as they produce winged males and winged queens which then mate in flight.
The release of several thousands of these winged ants inside your house can be traumatic in the extreme.
A somewhat new pest was quite prevalant in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was unusual for pest controllers in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to meet these pests until recent times but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent years and already this season has seen reports of these insects in large numbers.
Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and some fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to remove.
Those involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their renaissance in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, often arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.
Very often the first reaction of unfortunates who realise that they have been infested with these hideous,blood-sucking pests is to burn the old beds and buy new.
This is an expensive mistake as despite their name bed bugs not only live in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within up to fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds become instantly re-infested.
Many people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both require a different form of pest control
They dine just on blood which they syphon from their sleeping hosts. People often associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not require grime, their food is you!
