Pest control in Atherton, Leigh and Tyldesley 2011
Pest Control in the North West has seen a relatively early in 2010 which is surprising given the relatively cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest controllers were kept busy with the usual town centre rodent problems all thoughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold late winter has already seen some ant problems coming in.
The damp summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but 2010 looks like it will be a active year for flying ant work.
Often ants build their nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to visit kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at the mating time when they can be most annoying as they release winged males and queens which then fly off to mate.
The emergence of several thousands of these winged ants inside your house can be horrible indeed.
A somewhat new pest was quite numerous in the the North West area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare 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 year has seen reports of these beetles in substantial numbers.
These beetles have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and some fabrics. They are a difficult and tricky pest to eradicate.
Bed Bugs are carrying on their come back in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area, often arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning travellers.
Very often the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these revolting,blood-sucking insects is to get rid of the old beds and purchase.
This is an expensive error as despite their name bed bugs do not just hide in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within about fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds become instantly re-infested.
Most people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.
They dine just on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People often associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require squalor, they eat you!
