Beetle infestations affect homeowners in the UK. They frequently affect stored food, but can live in several areas depending on the types of beetle. Food products may be contaminated with beetle eggs at any point during 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 numerous beetle kinds in the UK and these will target different areas of your property. Carpet beetles devour carpets and other soft furnishings, while stored product beetles contaminate dried food in the kitchen. Most beetles are not dangerous, but can distribute diseases or bacteria and so any home furniture or foodstuffs that are contaminated might need to be removed.
The key to dealing with a beetle infestation is correct identification of the species of beetle. Different beetles will need different treatment methods and you’ll need to target different regions of your property. Specialist pest control companies can identify the beetle and can then agree with you an appropriate approach to controlling these pests. This will frequently involve spraying insecticide or applying powder insecticide to an area. If the infestation is in a cooking area then you should make certain to use an insecticide that is safe for food preparation areas. Many pest control firms also provide an education service where they’ll help you with the probable causes of the beetle infestation and how best to stop the issue from reoccurring.
