Pest control of Wasps Nests in Formby 2011
Pest and vermin control in Southport has seen a lively and brisk (2010) which is somewhat unexpected given the somewhat cold winter of 2009/10.
Pest operatives were kept busy with the usual city centre rodent infestations all thoughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early spring has already brought some ant calls coming in.
The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a active year for ant callouts.
Often ants make their 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 mating time when they can be most annoying as they create winged males and queens which then mate in flight.
The emergence of thousands of these flying ants inside houses can be horrible indeed.
A fairly new pest was very prevalant in the Sefton area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).
It was not common for pest controllers in Ormskirk to meet these pests until recently but they seemed to appear from nowhere in 2008 and already this March has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in large numbers.
Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears can eat natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and all fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to get rid of.
Bed Bugs are continuing their come back in the Sefton area, regularly arriving as hitch-hikers in the suitcases of home-coming travellers.
Regularly the first reaction of unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these hideous,blood-sucking insects is to destroy the old beds and get.
This is an unneccesary error as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide 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 become rapidly re-infested.
Many people mistake bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.
They dine only on blood which they drink from their sleeping victims. People often associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not need grime, they dine on you!
