Beetle Control In Chicago, IL

Beetles are some of the most unique among the many different pests that invade homes in Chicago. There are over 150 different types of beetles found in Illinois alone. While not all of these beetles become an issue for Chicago homeowners, plenty of them do. Each type of beetle is unique in size, shape, coloring, habitat, and habits. In most cases, it's the beetle larvae causing problems by feeding on different products and materials.

Some beetles feed on grains such as barley, oats, and wheat. While others, like carpet beetles, feed on animal fibers, including wool, leather, fur, silk, feathers, and hair. And some, like powderpost beetles, feed on wood.

Successful removal of these pests in Chicago often relies on proper identification, which can be challenging if you don't have training. People experiencing a problem with one of these beetle species usually turn to DIY methods first instead of getting assistance from pest professionals. While some DIY techniques and store-bought products may provide some results, they regularly fail to produce the long-term solutions people need and instead cause more time and money.

Whether we have already treated your home for a beetle problem or you aren't currently experiencing a beetle infestation but want to prevent another, we recommend using these tips:

• Check the exterior of your home for entry points by looking over the foundation for cracks that need sealing, missing screens or weatherstripping on windows and doors, and other holes in the exterior walls and roof.
• Check plants, packages, and other items coming into your home from outside for beetles before you bring them inside.
• Inspect all food packaging for damage before purchasing from the store.
• Store dry goods in clear and airtight containers.
• Never mix old dry goods with new products.
• Keep your yard maintained adequately by mowing the lawn short, trimming shrubbery and bushes, and ensuring there isn't foliage touching your home's exterior. 
• Properly store firewood and remove organic debris like leaf litter and sticks.
• Inspect and clean seasonal clothes before storing them away.
