Cineworld in Didsbury has had to call in a private extermination firm several times after the outbreak was first spotted.

Pest control experts had to be called in after a cinema became infested with cockroaches.

Cineworld in Didsbury has had to call in a private extermination firm several times after the outbreak was first spotted.

Bosses at the 11-screen cinema at Parrs Wood Entertainment Centre on Wilmslow Road admitted to a pest control issue but said it was working closely with council environmental health officers.

They said they are confident the outbreak is fully under control and would be resolved shortly.

Bosses said health and safety was of utmost importance.

Manchester city council said it was informed by the cinema of a low-level infestation last October.

The M.E.N. understands that pest controllers have been used on several occasions.

Council chiefs said the issue was confined to the cinema only and no other businesses at the site have been affected.

Pest control called in after cockroach infestation at cinema

Some male moths immediately fly to the dispensers which renders them unattractive to female moths as they are left smelling of the pheromone.

With mating activity reduced or halted completely, moth populations quickly decline.

The manufacturers claim the Moth Disruption System is a natural and non-toxic solution which does not use any pesticides.

David Cross, head of technical training for Rentokil, said: Most people associate moths with eating natural fibres and chewing holes in their cashmere and woollen clothing or nibbling on their carpets and curtains, but there are some species of moth that can cause even bigger problems when they infest food supplies such as rice, flour, dried fruits, nuts, chocolate and pulses.

The Moth Disruption System provides a new tool in combating stored product moths, and does so in a manner which is natural, humane and non-toxic, so there is no risk of contamination to food products.

The product is part of a wider trend in the pest control industry towards using natural methods and materials to stamp out infestations.

AviGo, a bird control product launched by Rentokil in 2012, uses natural chilli extract to keep pigeons and gulls away from treated areas, while the company has also been increasing its use of hawking for pest bird control.

This winter is a real killer.

The deep freeze, with arctic blasts from the polar vortex, has put invasive insects on ice in dozens of states. That includes the emerald ash borer, a pretty bug that does ugly things to ecosystems it invades.

Up to 80 percent of the ash borers died when January temperatures dipped below minus 20 degrees in St. Paul, Minn., according to an estimate by U.S. Forest Service biologists, who have been conducting studies on the impact of cold weather on the bugs for the past three years.

Their estimates were affirmed when state researchers found that nearly 70 percent of ash borers collected from infected trees in the Twin Cities area last month were frozen stiff a good thing for ash trees that adorn communities and provide smooth, durable wood used for flooring, bowling alleys, church pews, baseball bats and electric guitars.

Across the country, other destructive pests are dropping dead, including the hemlock woolly adelgid, which preys on Christmas trees in the Appalachian Mountains; the kernel-munching corn earworm, found in nearly every state; the citrus-destroying cottony cushion scale that migrated to Maryland from Florida; and the gypsy moth, which chomps on 80 species of trees and is spreading from the Northeast to the Midwest.

The bugs found their way to the United States from all over the world and thrived in the relatively warm winters of recent years. At least two of the pests mounted great migrations from the Deep South to Virginia and Maryland.

For now, at least, the freeze has stopped them in their tracks. Researchers in the Appalachians of West Virginia and Maryland found hemlock adelgids whose little, strawlike mouths were stuck to the pine needles from which they suck nectar.

Based on surveillance, researchers believe more than 95 percent of hemlock adelgids were killed in the northern Appalachians and at that least 70 percent died in their southernmost range, Georgia.

At first blush, this appears to be great news, Tobin said. Important trees, including ash, birch and oak, and such vital crops as soybeans, corn and oranges, will probably get a break from millions of gnawing mouths.

But invasive bugs are a breed apart. Built to last, they almost never experience extinction.
