Pest Control Liverpool and Wirral
Pest and vermin control in the Liverpool and Wirral Area has seen a brisk start in 2010 which is surprising given the somewhat colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.
Liverpool and Wirral Pest operatives were kept working with the routine town centre rat calls during the winter of 2009/10, but the fairly cold early part of the year has already brought some garden ant infestation reported.
The wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but this year looks like it will turn out to be a busy year for flying ant problems.
Usually ants build their nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to invade food store areas.
However it is at the annual mating time when they are at their most distressing as they produce winged males and winged queens which then mate on the wing.
The emergence of several thousands of these flying ants inside houses can be traumatic in the extreme.
A relatively new pest was especially numerous in the Liverpool and Merseyside area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was rare for pest controllers in Liverpool to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in recent years and already this year has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in substantial numbers.
These insects have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and some fabrics. They are a difficult and tricky pest to eradicate.
We who are involved in pest control Liverpool have noted that Bed Bugs are continuing their return in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area, regularly arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.
Often the first reaction of those unlucky ones who realise that they are infested with these horrific,blood-sucking insects is to destroy the old beds and buy new.
This is a costly error as despite their name bed bugs do not just hide in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found anywhere within up to fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds become instantly re-infested.
A lot of people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both need a different method of pest control
They dine only on blood which they drink from their sleeping victims. People regularly associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not need squalor, their food is you!
