Pest control in Liverpool, Bootle and Crosby
Posted on Friday Jan 27, 2012 Under Team EffortPest Control in the Liverpool Area has seen a relatively early start (2010) which is somewhat surprising given the very colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Pest controllers were kept busy with the usual city centre rat infestations throughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already seen ant problems reported.
The damp summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like being a active year for ant problems.
Frequently ants nest under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to enter food store areas.
However it is at their mating time when they can be most distressing as they produce winged males and winged queens which then mate on the wing.
The release of thousands of these winged ants inside your house can be horrible in the extreme.
A somewhat new pest was quite prevalant in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare for pest controllers in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to deal with these pests until recent times but they seemed to appear from nowhere in recent years and already this spring has seen reports of these insects in substantial numbers.
Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and some fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to remove.
Those who are involved in pest control have noted that Bed Bugs are carrying on their resurgence in the the North West area, often arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.
Often the first reaction of unlucky people who realise that they are infested with these revolting,blood-sucking pests is to destroy the old beds and get.
This is an unneccesary error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within about five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds become rapidly re-infested.
A lot of people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both a different type of pest control
They dine exclusively on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People often associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not require squalor, their food is you!
