Pest control in Stockport, Didsbury, Cheadle and Gatley 2010

Pest Control in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester has seen a lively and brisk start (2010) which is surprising given the very cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.

Pest operatives were kept working with the usual city centre rats and mice problems during the winter of course, but the relatively cold early spring has already provided some ant infestations coming in.

The damp summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like being a active year for flying ant work.

Often ants build their nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to visit food store areas.

However it is at their mating time when they can be most troublesome as they create winged males and winged queens which then mate in flight.

The release of thousands of these flying ants inside homes can be traumatic in the extreme.

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

It was unusual for pest controllers in Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire to come across these pests until lately but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent years and already this spring has seen sightings of varied carpet beetle in large numbers.

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

Those who work in in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are carrying on their resurgence in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area, often arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.

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

This is an expensive error as despite their name bed bugs not only live in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within around fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds will be quickly re-infested.

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

They dine only on blood which they drink from their sleeping victims. People usually associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not require grime, they eat you!
