Pest Control Review in Sale, Urmston, Timperley and Altrincham Spring & Summer 2011
Pest Control in the North West has seen a brisk start (2010) which is very surprising given the relatively cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest controllers were kept working with the usual city centre rats and mice calls all thoughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early spring has already seen some ant infestations coming in.
The damp 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 active year for flying ant calls.
Frequently ants make nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to enter food store areas.
However it is at the annual mating time when they can be most distressing as they produce winged queens and males which then mate in flight.
The appearance of many thousands of these winged ants inside your home can be traumatic in the extreme.
A relatively new pest was especially numerous in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare for pest controllers in the North West to meet these pests until recently but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent times and already this March has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in unprecedented quantities.
They have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and all fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to get rid of.
Those involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their renaissance in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area, frequently arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.
Often the first reaction of unlucky people who realise that they are infested with these revolting,blood-sucking creatures is to burn the old beds and get.
This is a costly error as despite their name bed bugs not only hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found everywhere within around fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds become rapidly re-infested.
Many people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which cannot be seen by the naked eye. They both take a different method of pest control.
They dine only on blood which they syphon from their sleeping victims. People regularly associate bed bugs with insanitary living conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need squalor, their food is you!
