Pest and vermin control in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester has seen a lively and brisk (2010) which is somewhat surprising given the very cold winter of 2009/10.

Pest and vermin operatives were kept working with the usual town centre rodent infestations during the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already brought some ant problems reported.

The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like being a busy year for ant problems.

Regularly ants make their nests 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 the annual mating time when they can be most distressing as they create winged queens and males which then mate on the wing.

The appearance of thousands of these winged ants inside houses can be horrific indeed.

A relatively new pest was quite prevalant in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was unusual for pest controllers in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire to deal with these pests until lately but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this spring has seen reports of these beetles in unprecedented numbers.

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

Bed Bugs are continuing their return in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area, regularly arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.

Often the first reaction of unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these revolting,blood-sucking pests is to burn the old beds and purchase.

This is an expensive error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just live 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 wall sockets and the new beds will be 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 dirty conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not require squalor, their food is you!
