Pest Control in Liverpool and Wirral has seen a lively start in 2010 which is very surprising given the very colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.

Pest and Vermin controllers were kept working with the usual city centre rats and mice problems throughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already brought some ant infestations coming in.

The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a hectic year for ant calls.

Frequently ants build nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to enter food store areas.

However it is at the annual mating time when they can be most annoying as they release winged queens and males which then mate in flight.

The emergence of several thousands of these flying ants inside houses can be horrific indeed.

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

It was not common for pest controllers in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to come across these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in recent times and already this season has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in substantial quantities.

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

Those who are involved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are carrying on their come back in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area, often arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.

Very often the initial reaction of unfortunate people who realise that they have been infested with these horrific,blood-sucking pests is to get rid of the old beds and purchase.

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

Most people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which cannot be seen by the naked eye. They both require a different form of pest control.

They dine solely on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People often associate bed bugs with dirty living conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not require dirt, they dine on you!
