Beetle Control & Eradication
When you are looking for signs of beetles in your home or business, it often means you are looking for some type of damage to clothes, carpets, wood or foodstuff. These are the best indicators of a beetle infestation in your property. Another sign would be skin irritation, as some of the larvae have hairs which can be an irritant to some people who come in contact with them.
Getting rid of a beetle population is often difficult, especially when trying to address the problems at all of its life stages. Isolation of their food stuffs and treatment of all possible alighting surfaces must be carried out. They are often found within bird nests feeding on feathers and excrement, spreading to central heating lagging and hot water pipe runs, airing cupboards, clothes, wardrobes, etc., making it easy to see why these pests can be somewhat difficult to control; unless undertaken by a trained professional.
Our specialists are well trained in providing professional solutions to beetle infestations in your home or business, using professional and approved methods that are best suited to the scale of the infestation and the surrounding environment.

Beetle Species & Description
Below are some of the common beetle species that you may come across in your property;
-
Carpet beetle - Known as ‘woolly bears’ these little beetles have overtaken moths as the pest that devours the most items of clothing! May also be a sign of a bird problem at your property.
-
Biscuit beetle - One of the most common beetles found in the world. Biscuit beetles are usually found in food cupboards, retailing premises and domestic properties.
-
Ground beetle - Growing up to 25mm makes them one of the larger beetles found in the UK but they’re nothing to be afraid of. They’re likely to enter your property seeking warmth and comfort.
-
Furniture beetle - The common furniture beetle is a wood-boring beetle. In the larval stage it bores in wood and feeds upon it. Also known as 'woodworm'. If you have spotted any of the signs mentioned, we recommend acting quickly to ensure the potential infestation doesn’t spread any further.
The scientific name for beetles is coleoptera and despite being quite rare in the UK (in contrast to ants & wasps), they make up the world’s largest order of animals at 25%
Many beetles in the UK are harmless and serve a beneficial purpose for the environment, though there are some that have no natural enemies to control their population and this is when beetles become an issue.
