Pest control in Chorley, Preston and Leyland 2010
Posted: under Generation.
Pest and vermin control in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester has seen a lively and brisk this year which is somewhat unexpected given the relatively cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest controllers were kept working with the usual town centre rat calls during the winter of course, but the relatively cold late winter has already provided some ant infestation coming in.
The damp summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a busy year for flying ant callouts.
Regularly ants nest under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to visit kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at mating time when they can be most troublesome as they create winged queens and males which then mate in flight.
The release of many thousands of these winged ants inside your home can be traumatic indeed.
A fairly new pest was very numerous in the the North West area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was unusual for pest controllers in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester to meet these pests until lately but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this March has seen reports of these insects in unprecedented numbers.
These insects 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 some fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.
Bed Bugs are continuing their resurgence in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, frequently arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning travellers.
Often the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these revolting,blood-sucking insects is to get rid of the old beds and purchase.
This is an expensive error as despite their name bed bugs not only live in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within about five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds are instantly re-infested.
Most people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.
They dine exclusively on blood which they drink from their sleeping victims. People usually associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require dirt, they dine on you!
