Camberley Beetle Control

Beetle infestations affect property owners in the United Kingdom. They generally affect stored foodstuffs, but can reside in several different areas depending on the kinds of beetle. Foodstuffs may be infested with beetle eggs at any stage during the life of the item, and if left undisturbed for extended periods of time in your property the eggs can hatch ultimately causing a beetle infestation. There are a number of beetle kinds 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 your kitchen. Most beetles aren’t harmful, but can pass on diseases or bacteria and so any pieces of furniture or food products that are infested may need to be disposed of.

The key to dealing with a beetle infestation is accurate identification of the species of beetle. Different beetles will need different treatment procedures and you will need to target different regions of your property. Expert pest control businesses can identify the beetle and can then agree with you an appropriate approach to managing these pests. This will frequently include spraying insecticide or applying powder insecticide to an area. If the infestation is in a cooking area then you should be sure to work with 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 problem from reoccurring.
