Beetle Control

Understanding Beetles

• Beetles are one of the most diverse insect groups, with over 300,000 species worldwide.
• Because beetles can reproduce quickly and hide in hard-to-reach places, DIY methods often fail.
• Professional pest control ensures thorough inspection, targeted treatment, and long-term prevention, keeping your home pest-free.

Common Types of beetles in Canada:

• Carpet beetles: Measuring 2 to 5 mm long with spotted grey-yellow, brown, and white scales, can cause structural damage as their larvae feed on natural fibers like carpets, cashmere, and woolens. Adults primarily consume nectar and pollen.
• Stored product beetles: ranging from 2 to 4 mm long and reddish-brown to black, include confused flour and red flour beetles, which infest flour and contaminate various food items, such as dried fruit, nuts, and spices.
• Powderpost beetles: measuring 3 to 10 mm long, infest wood and wood products like furniture and flooring. They create tunnels in wood, leaving behind fine powdery frass. Common species include the old house borer and lyctid powderpost beetles, which prefer untreated or moisture-damaged wood.
