Is it possible to deal with a pest problem with DIY Pest Control Products

Pest and vermin control in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire has seen a lively start (2011) which is unexpected given the somewhat cold winter of 2010/11.

Pest controllers were kept occupied with the usual town centre rats and mice problems all thoughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early spring has already provided some ant infestations reported.

Many people try rat and mouse control by themselves but usually it is preferable to use a professional.

The damp summers of 2009 and 2010 were not to the taste of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like it will turn out to be a hectic year for ant callouts.

Frequently ants make nests under the floors of buildings 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 distressing as they create winged queens and males which then mate on the wing.

The appearance of many thousands of these flying ants inside your house can be traumatic indeed.

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

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

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

Bed Bugs are continuing their come back in the Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire area, frequently arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of home-coming holiday makers.

Often the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these hideous,blood-sucking insects is to get rid of the old beds and purchase.

This is an expensive mistake as despite their name bed bugs not only stay in beds and in an infested bedroom will be found everywhere within around fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical and telephone sockets and the new beds will be quickly re-infested.

Many people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.

They dine exclusively on blood which they syphon from their sleeping hosts. People regularly associate bed bugs with unhygienic conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they do not need grime, their food is you!

These bugs must not be tackled using DIY Pest Control Products.

A do it yourself job utilising a Bed Bug Spray will often make the situation worse
