Pest Control Review in Rochdale, Oldham, Middleton and Bury Spring & Summer 2010
Pest Control in the North West has seen a lively start this year which is unexpected given the relatively colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest operatives were kept working with the usual city centre rodent infestations during the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold late winter has already brought some ant calls reported.
The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a busy year for ant calls.
Regularly ants make their nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to invade food store areas.
However it is at their mating time when they can be most troublesome as they release winged queens and males which then fly off to mate.
The appearance of many thousands of these flying ants inside your house can be traumatic in the extreme.
A somewhat new pest was quite troublesome in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest controllers in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester to encounter these pests until recently but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent years and already this March has seen sightings of these beetles in large quantities.
These beetles have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to remove.
Those who work in in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are carrying on their return in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area, regularly arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.
Regularly the initial reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these horrific,blood-sucking creatures is to get rid of the infested beds and get.
This can be a costly error as despite their name bed bugs do not just hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within around five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds are rapidly re-infested.
Most 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 just on blood which they syphon from their sleeping hosts. People often associate bed bugs with unhygienic living conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not need squalor, their food is you!
