Wasps Nests Destroyed £29.50

The 2009 wasp season is almost with us once again, what would summer be without our old friends the wasps to irritate us as we enjoy our summer barbeques?

The biology of the wasp means they are rarely seen much before July as until then only the queen wasp is in the nest.

In spring the over-wintered queens leave their hibernating quarters to find nesting sites which could be in a hole in the ground, a hollow tree or artificial structures such as chimneys eaves, lofts and attics, garden sheds etc.

The new queen starts to construct her nest with a papery material that she makes by chewing small slivers of wood mixed with saliva; this is called Wasp paper.

She will raise the first few workers by her own efforts and those workers will then commence the enlargement of the nest and caring for the immature Wasps to follow.

Nest construction gets into full swing in June and will reach its maximum in size in September, when 5 – 30,000 workers may be present. These workers will forage up to 400 metres from the nest. The size of wasp colonies will vary from year to year, the severity of the previous winter is probably the main factor.

In the early Autumn the immature queens mate and leave the nest to hibernate, the rest of the nest dies out and the nest is never used again.

Many People react differently to being stung by wasps; some are hardly affected, while others suffer considerable pain and swelling and a few become seriously allergic to being stung, which in rare cases results in sudden death due to anaphylactic shock.
Control
It is adviseable to let a professional Pest Controller destroy a Wasps’ nest for the reasons given above. An insecticide will be injected into the entrance to the nest. Returning wasps will carry the insecticide into the middle of the nest and within a few hours all wasps should be dead.

It is inadvisable to allow a wasps’ nest to remain untreated as the immature queens produced by the nest will invariably build nests nearby in the following spring resulting in many more nests the following year. For this reason several nests are often found close together in a neighbourhood a locality.

Pest control in Manchester, Lancashire & Cheshire 2009

Pest Control in Manchester and surrounding areas has seen a lively start in 2009.

Pest controllers were kept busy with the usual city centre rat problems throughout the winter of course, but the relatively early spring has seen ant infestation call outs a month earlier than usual.

The wet summers of 2007 & 2008 were not to the liking of the hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants & bees) but 2009 looks like being a busy year for ant infestation work.

Frequently ants nest under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to visit kitchens & food cupboards.

However it is at mating time when they can be most distressing as they produce winged queens and males which then mate in flight.

The emergence of several thousand of these ‘flying ants’ inside houses can by traumatic indeed.

A relatively new pest has been especially troublesome this year, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

It was rare for pest controllers in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to encounter these pests until recent times but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this spring has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in unprecedented numbers.

Having a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as ‘woolly bears’ can eat natural fibres and can do substantial damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest.

Bed bugs are continuing their resurgence in the Manchester area, frequently arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning holiday makers.

Often the first reaction of unfortunates who realise that they are infested with these blood-sucking insects is to destroy the old beds and buy new.

This is a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs do not just live in beds and in an infested room will be found anywhere within about fifteen feet of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical sockets and the new beds are quickly re-infested.

Many people confuse bed bugs with dust mite which are not visible to the naked eye.

Bed Bugs Bites

They dine exclusively on blood which they take form their sleeping victims. People often associate bed bugs with dirty conditions but nothing could be further from the truth, they don’t require dirt, they dine on you!

Until the end of April 2009 Harrier Pest Control are offering a 25% reduction on their guaranteed ant treatment.

The treatment which is guaranteed for three years, extendable indefinitely by a low cost re-treatment every three years can be carried out in most homes subject to free site survey
