Pest control in Liverpool, Bootle and Crosby

Posted on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 in Brandnew

Pest and vermin control in the North West has seen a lively and brisk start this year which is somewhat unexpected given the somewhat cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.

Pest and vermin operatives were kept working with the usual city centre rodent calls throughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early spring has already seen some ant infestation reported.

The fairly wet summers of the last few years were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a hectic year for flying ant callouts.

Frequently ants build nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to enter kitchens and food cupboards.

However it is at the mating time when they can be most troublesome as they produce winged queens and males which then mate on the wing.

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

A relatively new pest was quite numerous in the the North West area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was rare for pest controllers in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire to come across these pests until recent times but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in recent times and already this season has seen reports of these beetles in unprecedented numbers.

These beetles have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears can eat natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to remove.

Those who are involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are carrying on their return in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, often arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of returning travellers.

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

This is a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within up to fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds become rapidly re-infested.

Many people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both need a different method of pest control

They dine only on blood which they syphon from their sleeping victims. People regularly associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be less true, they do not need dirt, they dine on you!
