Wasps' Nests Destroyed In Manchester

Manchester Wasps' Nest 2007

The annoying wasp season is almost with us once more, what would summer be without our old friends the wasps to annoy us as we enjoy our summer evening barbeques?

The wasp has a biology that means they are rarely seen much sooner than July as until then only the queen wasp is in the nest.

In early spring the over-wintering queens leave their hibernating quarters to find nesting sites which could be in a hole in the ground, a bush 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 pieces of wood mixed with saliva; this is known as 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 rearing the immature Wasps to follow.

Nest construction starts in earnest in June and will reach its maximum in size in September, when 5 – 30,000 workers may be present. These workers will collect food 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 mid-September the immature queens mate and leave the nest to find hibernation sites, the rest of the nest dies out and the nest is never used again.

Individuals react differently to being stung by wasps; some are hardly affected, others suffer considerable pain and discomfort 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 Control Officer deal with a Wasps’ nest for the reasons mentioned above. An insecticide will be used to cover the entrance to the nest. Returning wasps will carry the insecticide into the heart of the nest and within an hour all wasps should be dead.

It is not a good idea to allow a wasps’ nest to remain untreated as the new 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 clustered together in a neighbourhood a locality.

Pest control in Manchester, Cheshire & Lancashire Spring 2009

Pest Control in Manchester, Lancashire & Cheshire has seen a lively start in the spring of 2009.

Pest controllers throughout the region were kept busy with the usual city centre rodent problems throughout the winter with rats having free reign in many areas of course, but the relatively early and warm spring has seen ant infestation reports 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.
