Farnham Beetle Control

Beetle infestations affect property owners in the UK. They usually affect stored food products, but can reside in lots of areas depending on the species of beetle. Foodstuffs may be contaminated with beetle eggs at any point during the life of the item, and if left undisturbed for a long time in your kitchen the eggs can hatch leading to a beetle infestation. There are a variety of beetle types 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 the kitchen. Most beetles are not dangerous, but can pass on diseases or germs and so any furnishings or foodstuffs that are infested may need to be disposed of.

The key to controlling a beetle infestation is correct identification of the species of beetle. Different beetles will require different treatment options and you will need to focus on different regions of your premises. Expert pest control firms can identify the beetle and can then agree with you on the ideal way of taking care of these pests. This will generally include spraying insecticide or applying powder insecticide to an area. If the infestation is in a kitchen area then you should make sure to work with an insecticide that is safe for food preparation areas. Many pest control companies also offer an education service where they will give you advice on the probable reasons for the beetle infestation and how best to stop the issue from reoccurring.
