Cramlington Beetle Control

Beetle infestations affect property owners in the United Kingdom. They usually affect stored food, but can reside in several different areas depending on the kinds of beetle. Foodstuffs may be contaminated with beetle eggs at any stage during the life of the goods, and if left undisturbed for long periods of time in your house the eggs can hatch leading to a beetle infestation. There are several 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 your kitchen. Most beetles aren’t dangerous, but can pass on diseases or germs and so any pieces of furniture or foodstuffs that are contaminated may need to be removed.

The most important element to controlling a beetle infestation is accurate identification of the species of beetle. Different beetles will require different treatment options and you may need to focus on different areas of your property. Specialist pest control businesses can identify the beetle and can then agree with you a suitable approach to taking care of these pests. This will generally include spraying insecticide or applying powder insecticide to an area. If the infestation is in a cooking area then you should be certain to work with an insecticide that is safe for food preparation areas. Many pest control businesses also provide an education service where they will inform you of the probable causes of the beetle infestation and how best to stop the issue from reoccurring.
