Pest Control Review In Chorley, Addlington, Preston And Leyland Spring & Summer 2010
July 25, 2010 | By: Altos | In: Random Musings
Pest and vermin control in the North West has seen a lively and brisk start (2010) which is unexpected given the very cold (weather of this last winter winter of 2009/10.
Pest controllers were kept occupied with the usual town centre rodent calls all thoughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold late winter has already brought some ant problems reported.
The damp summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but 2010 looks like it will be a hectic year for flying ant work.
Frequently ants build their nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to enter kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at the annual mating time when they are at their most annoying as they release winged males and winged queens which then mate in flight.
The release of thousands of these winged ants inside houses can be horrible indeed.
A relatively new pest was very prevalant in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare for pest operatives in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire to encounter these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this March has seen sightings of these beetles in substantial quantities.
Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and all fabrics. They are a difficult and tricky pest to get rid of.
Those who are involved in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are carrying on their resurgence in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, often arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.
Very often the first reaction of unlucky people who realise that they are infested with these hideous,blood-sucking insects is to destroy the infested beds and buy new.
This can be an expensive mistake as despite their name bed bugs do not just live in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within up to five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds are instantly re-infested.
Most people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which cannot be seen by the naked eye. They both need a different method of pest control.
They dine just on blood which they drink from their sleeping victims. People usually associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not need grime, they eat you!
