Beetles in County Tyrone

Beetle infestations affect homeowners in the UK. They generally affect stored foodstuffs, but can reside in several different areas depending on the types of beetle. Food products may be contaminated with beetle eggs at any stage during the life of the product, and if left undisturbed for a long time in your house the eggs can hatch leading to a beetle infestation. There are a number of beetle species in the United Kingdom and these will target different areas of your home. Carpet beetles consume carpets and other soft furnishings, while stored product beetles affect dried food in the kitchen. Most beetles are not harmful, but can distribute diseases or germs and so any pieces of furniture or food products that are contaminated might need to be disposed of.

The key to controlling a beetle infestation is correct identification of the species of beetle. Different beetles will need different treatment options and you’ll need to target different regions of your house. Specialist pest control businesses can identify the beetle and will then agree with you an appropriate way of taking care of these pests. This will frequently include spraying insecticide or applying dust insecticide to an area. If the infestation is in a kitchen area then you should be certain to utilise an insecticide that is safe for food preparation areas. Many pest control businesses also provide an education service where they will help you with the probable causes of the beetle infestation and how best to prevent the issue from reoccurring.
