BEETLE CONTROL SERVICES

Your property might be being damaged by a wide range of different species of beetles found here in the UK. That is why The Pest Master promises to ensure that we offer affordable and effective beetle control services to get rid of any beetle, including. Woolly Bears, Carpet Beetles, Ground Beetles, Cigarette/Tobacco Beetles, Biscuit Beetles and a host of other types of Beetles commonly found in the UK. This is one of our most requested insect control services.

The most prevalent species our beetle control specialists deal with is the Carpet Beetle, the most common being the Varied Carpet Beetle. When you come across a full-size adult carpet beetle, you will realise that it measures between 1.7mm and 3.5mm in length. They are oval-shaped and at a closer look they look like a cream, grey and brown ladybird but are not the same species.

Adult carpet beetles tend to lay their eggs in old bird nests, fabrics and your general household fluff that may have built up in corners of rooms, airing cupboards, wardrobes and draws in your home. When the beetle’s larvae hatch (which is also known as a woolly bear) they like to feed  on fabrics, discarded bird feathers and any other kind of fluff before they embark on ravaging your property to find fresh food sources. If you don’t attend to these annoying creatures in time, this is when they will wreak the most havoc to your property.

The other species of beetle our pest controllers encounter and are also fairly common in the UK is the Flour Beetle. They can be pretty challenging to deal with. The most prevalent of these beetles is the confused flour beetle  (Tribolium confusum). You can easily find these kinds of beetles in flour mills and bakeries. Also, the Rust-red flour beetle is quite common but it is often imported. Both of these pests like infesting cereal products, including rice, flour porridge, oats and grains.

The cigarette beetles are also another common household pest in the UK, they are active nearly all year round but are most prevalent during the autumn and winter months. You will most likely find them around your well-stocked pantry because they like laying their eggs onto a food source. This means that when their larvae hatch, they are guaranteed of a steady supply of food. Furthermore, they are strong fliers and you will easily find them in poorly lit environments or in places where air temperatures exceed 18 degrees Celsius.
