Jarrow Beetle Control

Beetle infestations affect homeowners 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 infested with beetle eggs at any point during the life of the goods, and if left undisturbed for long periods of time in your kitchen the eggs can hatch resulting in 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 devour carpets and other soft furnishings, while stored product beetles contaminate dried food in the kitchen. Most beetles are not harmful, but can distribute diseases or bacteria and so any pieces of furniture or foodstuffs that are infested might need to be removed.

The most important element to controlling a beetle infestation is correct identification of the species of beetle. Different beetles will need different treatment procedures and you will need to target different regions of your house. Professional pest control businesses can identify the beetle and can then agree with you a suitable way of controlling these pests. This will commonly include spraying insecticide or applying dust insecticide to an area. If the infestation is in a cooking area then you should make sure to work with 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 likely causes of the beetle infestation and how best to prevent the problem from reoccurring.
