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

Pest controllers were kept working with the usual town centre rodent problems throughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already provided some ant infestations reported.

The damp summers of the last few years were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like being a active year for flying ant problems.

Usually ants make their nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to invade food store areas.

However it is at their mating time when they are at their most annoying as they produce winged males and queens which then mate on the wing.

The appearance of several thousands of these flying ants inside your house can be traumatic indeed.

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

It was rare for pest operatives in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to meet these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in recent years and already this year has seen sightings of these beetles in substantial numbers.

They have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears can eat natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and some fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to remove.

Those who work in in pest control note that Bed Bugs are carrying on their resurgence in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area, often arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning travellers.

Regularly the first reaction of unlucky people who realise that they have been infested with these horrible,blood-sucking creatures is to burn the old beds and buy new.

This is an expensive error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just live 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 quickly re-infested.

A lot of people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both a different method of gatley pest control.
