Manchester Pest Control have seen a brisk in 2011 which is unexpected given the somewhat cold winter of last year.
Manchester Pest Control Pest controllers were kept occupied with the usual city centre rat infestations during the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early spring has already seen some ant calls reported.
The damp summers of 2009 and 2010 were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like it will be a busy year for flying ant callouts.
Regularly ants build their nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to visit kitchens and food cupboards.
However it is at the mating time when they can be most distressing as they produce winged males and winged queens which then fly off to mate.
The emergence of thousands of these winged ants inside your house can be traumatic indeed.
A relatively new pest was very troublesome in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest controllers in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to come across these pests until recent times but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this year has seen reports of these beetles in unprecedented numbers.
Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears can eat natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.
Manchester Pest Control state that bed bugs are carrying on their return in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area, regularly arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.
Very often the first reaction of unlucky people who realise that they have been infested with these horrible,blood-sucking creatures is to destroy the old beds and get.
This is an expensive error as despite their name bed bugs do not just hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found everywhere within up to five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds become quickly re-infested.
Many people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.
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 true, they do not require dirt, their food is you!
