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

Liverpool and Merseyside Pest and Vermin controllers were kept working with the standard  city centre rodent infestations throughout the winter of course, but the somewhat cold early spring has already provided some garden ant infestations reported.

The damp summers of the last couple of years were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but this year looks like it will turn out to be a active year for ant problems.

Usually ants build their nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to enter food store areas.

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

The appearance of several thousands of these winged ants inside your home can be traumatic in the extreme.

A fairly new pest was especially prevalant in the Merseyside area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was not common for pest controllers in Liverpool and Merseyside to encounter these pests until recent times but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in recent times and already this year has seen sightings of these beetles in substantial numbers.

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

Those  who are involved in pest control Liverpool have noted that Bed Bugs are continuing their resurgence in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, often arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of returning travellers.

Often the first reaction of unlucky people who realise that they have been infested with these horrible,blood-sucking pests is to destroy the old beds and get.

This is a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs not only live in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found everywhere within about five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds become rapidly re-infested.

A lot of people confuse bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.They both a different method of pest control

They dine exclusively on blood which they take from their sleeping victims. People usually associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not require squalor, they dine on you!
