Pest control in Bolton, Farnworth, Bury and Radcliffe 2010
Pest Control in the North West has seen a lively and brisk start this year which is rather surprising given the relatively colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest operatives were kept busy with the usual city centre rats and mice calls all thoughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold late winter has already seen some ant calls coming in.
The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but this year looks like it will turn out to be a busy year for ant problems.
Frequently ants build nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to visit kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at their mating time when they are at their most troublesome as they create winged queens and males which then fly off to mate.
The appearance of thousands of these winged ants inside your house can be traumatic indeed.
A relatively new pest was especially prevalant in the the North West area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare for pest controllers in the North West to encounter these pests until lately but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent times and already this season has seen reports of these beetles in large numbers.
These insects have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears can eat natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and some fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to eradicate.
Those who work in in pest control note that Bed Bugs are carrying on their resurgence in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area, regularly arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.
Regularly the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these revolting,blood-sucking pests is to burn the old beds and buy new.
This is an unneccesary mistake as despite their name bed bugs do not just hide in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within up to five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds are quickly re-infested.
Most people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both take a different method of gatley pest control.
They dine solely on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People usually associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need grime, they dine on you!
