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

Pest controllers were kept occupied with the usual city centre rat infestations all thoughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already brought some ant problems reported.

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

Often ants build nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a lot of foraging ants to enter kitchens and food cupboards.

However it is at the mating time when they can be most troublesome as they create winged males and queens which then mate on the wing.

The appearance of several thousands of these flying ants inside your house can be horrible in the extreme.

A fairly new pest was very numerous in the the North West area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was not common for pest controllers in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire 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 insects in substantial numbers.

These insects have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do a great deal of damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They are a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.

Those who ar einvolved in pest control note that Bed Bugs are continuing their resurgence in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, often arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.

Often the first reaction of unlucky people who realise that they are infested with these horrible,blood-sucking insects is to get rid of the old beds and purchase.

This is a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just stay 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 quickly 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 gatley pest control.

They dine solely on blood which they take from their sleeping hosts. People regularly associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not need dirt, they eat you!
