Beetle infestations affect property owners in the UK. They usually affect stored food products, but can reside in a number of areas depending on the kinds of beetle. Foodstuffs may be infested with beetle eggs at any point through the life of the product, and if left undisturbed for long periods of time in your home the eggs can hatch leading to a beetle infestation. There are a variety of beetle types in the United Kingdom and these will target different areas of your home. Carpet beetles eat carpets and other soft furnishings, while stored product beetles contaminate dried food in the kitchen. Most beetles aren’t hazardous, but can distribute diseases or germs and so any home furniture or foodstuffs that are infested might need to be disposed of.
The key to dealing with a beetle infestation is accurate identification of the species of beetle. Different beetles will need different treatment procedures and you’ll need to focus on different regions of your home. Specialist pest control firms can identify the beetle and can then agree with you a suitable method of taking care of these pests. This will likely consist of spraying insecticide or applying powder 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 businesses also provide an education service where they’ll inform you of the likely causes of the beetle infestation and how best to prevent the issue from reoccurring.
