Liverpool Beetle Control

Beetle infestations affect property owners in the United Kingdom. They frequently affect stored food, but can reside in various areas depending on the species of beetle. Foodstuffs may be contaminated with beetle eggs at any stage through the life of the goods, and if left undisturbed for extended periods of time in your kitchen the eggs can hatch ultimately causing a beetle infestation. There are a variety of beetle varieties in the United Kingdom and these will target different areas of your house. Carpet beetles consume carpets and other soft furnishings, while stored product beetles contaminate dried food in the kitchen. Most beetles aren’t harmful, but can pass on diseases or germs and so any pieces of furniture or food products that are infested might need to be removed.

The most important element to dealing with a beetle infestation is correct identification of the species of beetle. Different beetles will require different treatment methods and you may need to focus on different parts of your house. Professional pest control companies can identify the beetle and can then agree with you an appropriate approach to managing these pests. This will typically involve spraying insecticide or applying powder insecticide to an area. If the infestation is in a cooking area then you should be certain to make use of an insecticide that is safe for food preparation areas. Many pest control companies also offer an education service where they will inform you of the probable reasons for the beetle infestation and how best to prevent the problem from reoccurring.
