Pest Control in Manchester

 

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

 

 

Pest controllers were kept working with the usual town centre rodent infestations throughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen ant calls coming in.

 

 

The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like it is going to be a busy year for flying ant callouts.

 

 

Often ants make their nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to invade kitchens and food cupboards.

 

 

However it is at mating time when they can be most distressing as they release winged males and queens which then fly off to mate.

 

 

The emergence of several thousands of these winged ants inside homes can be traumatic indeed.

 

 

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

 

 

It was rare for pest controllers in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester to deal with these pests until recent times but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this year has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in large numbers.

 

 

Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and all fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to get rid of.

 

 

Pest Control Manchester report that Bed Bugs are carrying on their come back in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area, regularly arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.

 

 

Often the first reaction of those unlucky ones who realise that they are infested with these horrific,blood-sucking insects is to burn the old beds and get.

 

 

This is an unneccesary error as despite their name bed bugs do not just stay in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within around five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds are rapidly 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 accurate, they do not require squalor, they eat you!

 

 

Until the end of April 2010 Harrier & Manchester Pest Control are offering a twenty-five percent reduction on their guaranteed ant treatment.
