Pest Control in Liverpool and Wirral has seen a lively and brisk this year which is very surprising given the very cold winter of 2009/10.

 

 

Pest controllers were kept busy with the usual city centre rats and mice calls during the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already provided some ant problems coming in.

 

 

The 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 active year for ant calls.

 

 

Often ants nest 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 the annual mating time when they can be most distressing as they create winged males and queens which then mate on the wing.

 

 

The release of several thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be traumatic indeed.

 

 

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

 

 

It was unusual for pest controllers in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to meet these pests until lately but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this spring has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in substantial numbers.

 

 

They have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and any fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to get rid of.

 

 

Those involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are carrying on their renaissance in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, regularly arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of returning travellers.

 

 

Regularly the first reaction of unlucky people who realise that they are infested with these revolting,blood-sucking insects is to get rid of the old beds and buy new.

 

 

This is an unneccesary mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found everywhere within about five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds will be rapidly re-infested.

 

 

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

 

 

They dine exclusively on blood which they syphon from their sleeping hosts. People usually associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not require dirt, they dine on you!
