Beetle infestations affect property owners in the UK. They frequently affect stored foodstuffs, but can live in several different areas depending on the varieties of beetle. Food products may be infested with beetle eggs at any stage through the life of the goods, and if left undisturbed for extended periods of time in your home the eggs can hatch ultimately causing a beetle infestation. There are a variety of beetle species in the UK and these will target different areas of your home. Carpet beetles devour carpets and other soft furnishings, while stored product beetles contaminate dried food in the kitchen. Most beetles aren’t harmful, but can spread diseases or germs and so any furnishings or foodstuffs that are contaminated might need to be removed.
The most important element to controlling a beetle infestation is accurate identification of the species of beetle. Different beetles will need different treatment procedures and you’ll need to target different parts of your property. Expert pest control businesses can identify the beetle and will then agree with you a suitable method of controlling these pests. This will generally consist of spraying insecticide or applying dust insecticide to an area. If the infestation is in a cooking area then you should make sure to use an insecticide that is safe for food preparation areas. Many pest control companies also offer an education service where they will advise you of the likely reasons for the beetle infestation and how best to prevent the issue from reoccurring.
