Manchester Pest Control have seen a relatively early (2011) which is very surprising given the very cold winter of 2010.

Manchester Pest Control Pest controllers were kept occupied with the usual city centre rodent problems all thoughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold early spring has already provided some ant infestations coming in.

The fairly wet summers of 2009 and 2010 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like it will be a active year for flying ant work.

Usually ants make their nests under the floors of buildings and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to invade kitchens and food cupboards.

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

The release of thousands of these flying ants inside your house can be horrific indeed.

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

It was rare for pest controllers in Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire to deal with these pests until lately but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this March has seen reports of these insects in substantial numbers.

They 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 all fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to eradicate.

Manchester Pest Control state that bed bugs are continuing their renaissance in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area, regularly arriving as hitch-hikers 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 pests is to destroy the old beds and purchase.

This is an expensive error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just stay in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within around five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds will be instantly re-infested.

Most people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.

They dine solely on blood which they drink from their sleeping hosts. People regularly associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require dirt, their food is you!
