Beetle infestations affect homeowners in the UK. They often affect stored food, but can live in several different areas depending on the species of beetle. Food products may be infested with beetle eggs at any stage during the life of the goods, and if left undisturbed for long periods of time in your home the eggs can hatch producing a beetle infestation. There are several beetle types in the UK and these will target different areas of your home. Carpet beetles eat carpets and other soft furnishings, while stored product beetles affect dried food in the kitchen. Most beetles are not hazardous, but can pass on diseases or bacteria and so any furnishings or food products that are infested may need to be removed.
The key to dealing with a beetle infestation is accurate identification of the species of beetle. Different beetles will require different treatment procedures and you will need to focus on different areas of your property. Professional pest control businesses can identify the beetle and will then agree with you an appropriate way of managing these pests. This will generally involve spraying insecticide or applying dust insecticide to an area. If the infestation is in a kitchen area then you should be certain to use an insecticide that is safe for food preparation areas. Many pest control companies also provide an education service where they’ll advise you of the likely reasons for the beetle infestation and how best to prevent the problem from reoccurring.
