Pest control in Merseyside, Liverpool and Wirral

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

Pest operatives were kept working with the usual town centre rat problems throughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen some ant infestation reported.

The fairly wet summers of the last few years were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like it is going to be a hectic year for ant problems.

Frequently ants make nests under the floors of buildings 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 distressing as they release winged males and queens which then fly off to mate.

The appearance of several thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be horrible indeed.

A fairly new pest was especially numerous in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was not common for pest operatives in the North West to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this season has seen reports of these insects in large numbers.

These beetles have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and any fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to remove.

Those who are involved in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are continuing their renaissance in the the North West area, often arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.

Very often the first reaction of those unlucky ones who realise that they are infested with these horrific,blood-sucking creatures is to destroy the old beds and get.

This is a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within around fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds become quickly re-infested.

Most people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both a different type of pest control

They dine only on blood which they drink from their sleeping victims. People often associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require grime, they eat you!
