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

Pest and Vermin controllers were kept busy with the usual city centre rodent problems during the winter of course, but the relatively cold early spring has already provided some ant calls reported.

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

Often ants build nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to visit food store areas.

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

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

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

It was unusual for pest controllers in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this season has seen sightings of these beetles in substantial quantities.

Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and some fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to remove.

Those who are involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their return in the the North West area, regularly arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.

Often the initial reaction of those unlucky ones who realise that they are infested with these hideous,blood-sucking creatures is to burn the old beds and purchase.

This is an unneccesary mistake as despite their name bed bugs not only hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within about five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds are rapidly re-infested.

A lot of people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which cannot be seen by the naked eye. They both a different method of pest control.

They dine just on blood which they drink from their sleeping victims. People often associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not require dirt, they eat you!
