Pest control in Rochdale, Oldham and Bury 2010

Pest Control in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire has seen a relatively early this year which is very surprising given the relatively cold winter of 2009/10.

Pest and Vermin controllers were kept busy with the usual city centre rodent problems during the winter of course, but the relatively cold early spring has already brought some ant calls 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 ant problems.

Usually ants make nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to visit kitchens and food cupboards.

However it is at the annual mating time when they can be most troublesome as they create winged males and winged queens which then fly off to mate.

The release of several thousands of these flying ants inside houses can be horrible indeed.

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

It was rare for pest controllers in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this season has seen reports of these insects 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 all fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to get rid of.

Bed Bugs are carrying on their come back in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area, frequently arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of returning travellers.

Regularly the first reaction of unfortunates who realise that they have been infested with these horrible,blood-sucking insects is to destroy the old beds and buy new.

This is an unneccesary error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found everywhere within up to five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds will be rapidly re-infested.

Most people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.

They dine just on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People regularly associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require squalor, they eat you!
