Pest control in Rochdale, Oldham, Middleton and Bury 2011
Pest and vermin control in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire has seen a relatively early start in 2010 which is somewhat surprising given the relatively cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest and vermin operatives were kept working with the usual city centre rodent infestations all thoughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold late winter has already provided some ant calls reported.
The damp summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but this year looks like it will be a active year for flying ant problems.
Frequently ants build their nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to infest food store areas.
However it is at their mating time when they can be most annoying as they create winged males and winged queens which then mate in flight.
The emergence of several thousands of these winged ants inside homes can be horrific in the extreme.
A somewhat new pest was especially prevalant in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest controllers in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire to deal with these pests until recent times but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in recent times and already this year has seen sightings of varied carpet beetle in substantial numbers.
Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and any fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to get rid of.
Those who ar einvolved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their resurgence in the the North West area, frequently arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.
Often the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they have been infested with these horrific,blood-sucking insects is to burn the old beds and get.
This is an expensive mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within up to five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds will be instantly re-infested.
A lot of people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both a different form of gatley pest control.
They dine exclusively on blood which they take from their sleeping hosts. People regularly associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need squalor, they dine on you!
