Pest and vermin control in Liverpool and Wirral has seen a brisk start in 2010 which is somewhat unexpected given the somewhat cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest operatives were kept working with the usual city centre rat infestations all thoughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen ant infestations coming in.
The wet summers of the last few years were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a active year for flying ant problems.
Often ants nest under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to visit food store areas.
However it is at the mating time when they can be most annoying as they produce winged males and queens which then mate on the wing.
The appearance of many thousands of these flying ants inside homes can be horrific in the extreme.
A somewhat new pest was quite troublesome in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest controllers in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to meet these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in recent years and already this season has seen sightings of varied carpet beetle in large numbers.
They 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 natural fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to remove.
Those involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their come back in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, regularly arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of returning travellers.
Often the first reaction of unfortunate people who realise that they have been infested with these horrific,blood-sucking insects is to burn the old beds and get.
This is a costly error as despite their name bed bugs not only live in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found everywhere within around five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds are instantly re-infested.
Many 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 hosts. People usually associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not need squalor, they eat you!
