Pest control in Bolton, Bury and Radcliffe 2010
Pest Control in the North West has seen a lively and brisk (2010) which is surprising given the relatively cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest controllers were kept working with the usual town centre rat infestations all thoughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early spring has already seen some ant infestations reported.
The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like being a busy year for flying ant calls.
Frequently ants make nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to visit kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at mating time when they can be most distressing as they create winged queens and males which then fly off to mate.
The release of several thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be horrible indeed.
A fairly new pest was especially troublesome in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest controllers in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire to encounter these pests until lately but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this spring has seen reports of these insects in unprecedented numbers.
They have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and all fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.
Bed Bugs are carrying on their resurgence in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area, regularly arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.
Very often the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they have been infested with these hideous,blood-sucking insects is to burn the old beds and purchase.
This is a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs not only hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found everywhere within around five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds become quickly re-infested.
A lot of people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.
They dine only on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People regularly associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need dirt, they dine on you!
