Pest Control in Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester has seen a lively and brisk this year which is surprising given the somewhat cold winter of 2009/10.

Pest and Vermin controllers were kept occupied with the usual city centre rodent calls all thoughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early spring has already seen some ant problems reported.

The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) but 2010 looks like being a busy year for flying ant calls.

Usually ants build nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to infest kitchens and food cupboards.

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

The appearance of thousands of these flying ants inside homes can be horrific indeed.

A relatively new pest was especially prevalant in the the North West area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was unusual for pest controllers in the North West to deal with these pests until recently but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this season has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in substantial numbers.

Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, called woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.

Bed Bugs are continuing their resurgence in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area, regularly arriving as stowaways in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.

Regularly the first reaction of unfortunate people who realise that they are infested with these revolting,blood-sucking creatures is to destroy the old beds and get.

This is a costly error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just stay in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within around fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds are quickly re-infested.

A lot of people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.

They dine just on blood which they take from their sleeping victims. People regularly associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not need dirt, their food is you!

Until the end of April 2010 Harrier & Manchester Pest Control are offering a 25% reduction on their guaranteed ant treatment.

The revolutionary new treatment which is guaranteed for three years, extendable indefinitely in further three year chunks by a affordable re-treatment every three years, can be carried out on most homes subject to free site survey
