Pest Control Liverpool

By Dog Lover | January 27, 2012

Pest and vermin control in the Liverpool Area has seen a lively and brisk start (2010) which is very surprising given the relatively cold (weather of this last winter|winter of 2009/10}.

Liverpool Pest and Vermin controllers were kept working with the routine  town centre rats and mice infestations throughout the winter of 2009/10, but the quite cold early spring has already seen black ant infestations reported.

The fairly wet summers of the last few years were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but this year looks like it is going to be a busy year for flying ant calls.

Usually ants make nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing an army of foraging ants to visit kitchens and food cupboards.

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

The appearance of thousands of these flying ants inside houses can be horrific in the extreme.

A somewhat new pest was especially numerous in the Liverpool and Merseyside area last year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was unusual for pest operatives in Merseyside to encounter these pests until recent times but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in recent times and already this spring has seen sightings of these beetles in unprecedented numbers.

These insects have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears eat natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and some fabrics. They can be a difficult and tricky pest to get rid of.

Those of us  who are involved in pest control Liverpool have noted that Bed Bugs are continuing their return in the the North West area, regularly arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.

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

This is an expensive mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just hide 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 sockets and the new beds become rapidly re-infested.

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

They dine solely on blood which they drink from their sleeping victims. People often associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not need squalor, they dine on you!

Until May 30th 2010 Harrier & Liverpool Pest Control are offering a twenty-five percent reduction on their guaranteed ant treatment.

The revolutionary 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 in most houses subject to free site survey
