Gwent Beetle Control

Beetle infestations affect property owners in the United Kingdom. They generally affect stored food products, but can live in lots of areas depending on the types of beetle. Food products may be infested with beetle eggs at any stage during the life of the item, 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 United Kingdom and these will target different areas of your property. Carpet beetles consume carpets and other soft furnishings, while stored product beetles affect dried food in the kitchen. Most beetles are not hazardous, but can pass on diseases or bacteria and so any furnishings or foodstuffs that are contaminated may need to be disposed of.

The most important element to controlling a beetle infestation is accurate identification of the species of beetle. Different beetles will need different treatment methods and you’ll need to focus on different areas of your premises. Expert pest control companies can identify the beetle and can then agree with you on the ideal way of taking care of these pests. This will commonly involve spraying insecticide or applying dust insecticide to an area. If the infestation is in a kitchen area then you should make sure to make use of an insecticide that is safe for food preparation areas. Many pest control businesses also offer an education service where they will help you with the probable reasons for the beetle infestation and how best to stop the problem from reoccurring.
