What do beetles look like?

Beetles are a type of insect known for their hard outer wings which protect their delicate hind wings. They come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, and can be found all over the world in different habitats. Beetles play important roles in ecosystems, such as pollinating flowers, decomposing organic matter, and serving as food for other animals.

How we treat beetles

For existing infestations, we use insecticides like sprays or baits, focusing on areas where beetles are active. Biological controls, such as introducing natural predators or pathogens specific to the beetle species, can also help manage infestations. Regular monitoring and inspections are essential to gauge treatment effectiveness and limit future problems. Working with a professional pest control service helps provide a thorough approach tailored to your beetle issues.
