Beetle Pest Control
Having a beetle infestation in your home is seldom harmful, but the potential damage they can do to furnishings and clothes make pest control advisable.
Types of beetle
Here are some of the beetles that may be sharing your house with you:- Carpet Beetles
- Biscuit Beetles
- Fur Beetles
- Tobacco Beetles
- Larder Beetles
Carpet beetles are some of the most common pests and include the two-spot carpet beetle and the variegated carpet beetle. Adult beetles are between 5 and 7mm in length. Carpet beetle larvae, also called “Woolly Bears”, are about 5mm long and roll up into a ball if disturbed. Cute they may sound, but it is the larvae that do the most damage, eating their way through your carpets and furnishings.
Biscuit and larder beetles are also real pests, causing contamination that may contaminate your foodstuffs.
Effective methods of beetle pest control
If you have a larder beetle problem, the first thing to do is ensure that your food is stored securely. There is also a wide range of beetle pest control products on the market. If possible, it is a good idea to contact a pest control company who can diagnose the size of the problem and the best way to deal with it.
Whether you use professionals or your own methods to get rid of the beetles, you can choose from a range of green, humane and more traditional pest control products, with varying price tags:- Insect sprays and powders
- Smoke bombs
- Ultrasonic pest repellents
Always read the instructions on pest control products.
