Beetles: Diverse Pests with Varied Impacts

Summary: Beetles are a large and diverse group of insects, characterized by their hard front wings (elytra). Pest species include carpet beetles, flour beetles, and wood-boring beetles.

Habitat: Depending on the species, beetles can infest stored food products, fabrics, wood, and other materials. They can be found in homes, warehouses, museums, and other buildings.

Why They Are Pests: Beetles can cause significant damage to property. Carpet beetles damage fabrics, flour beetles contaminate food, and wood-boring beetles weaken structural timber. Some species can also trigger allergies.

Why Use a Professional: Identifying the specific beetle species is crucial for effective control. Professionals can identify the source of the infestation, recommend appropriate treatment methods (such as insecticides or fumigation), and provide preventative advice to protect your property.
