Pest Control in Liverpool and Wirral has seen a lively and brisk start in 2010 which is very surprising given the relatively colder (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.

Merseyside Pest controllers were kept working with the usual  town centre rat infestations throughout the winter of 2009/10, but the relatively cold late winter has already seen garden ant problems coming in.

The rainy summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but this year looks like it is going to be a hectic year for ant work.

Frequently ants make nests under the floors of homes and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to visit 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 fly off to mate.

The emergence of several thousands of these flying ants inside homes can be horrific 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 unusual for pest controllers in Merseyside to deal with these pests until lately but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this season has seen sightings of these insects in unprecedented numbers.

They 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 any fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to get rid of.

Those  who are involved in pest control Liverpool note that Bed Bugs are carrying on their return in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area, frequently arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.

Very often the first reaction of unlucky people who realise that they are infested with these horrific,blood-sucking pests is to get rid of the old beds and purchase.

This is an unneccesary mistake as despite their name bed bugs not only live in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within around five yards of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds become instantly re-infested.
