Understanding Beetle Infestation

Newman Termite & Pest Control understands the challenges and concerns that beetles can present in residential and commercial spaces. Beetles are a diverse group of insects belonging to the order Coleoptera, which is one of the largest insect orders, comprising over 400,000 identified species worldwide. These insects are characterized by their hard exoskeleton, specialized forewings called elytra, and chewing mouthparts. Beetles can vary significantly in size, shape, color, and behavior, making them a fascinating and abundant insect group.

Common Beetle Species

Within the vast beetle family, there are several species commonly encountered in residential and commercial settings.

Carpet Beetles (Dermestidae): Carpet beetles are small, oval-shaped beetles that feed on natural fibers, such as wool, fur, feathers, and silk.
Powderpost Beetles (Bostrichidae): These beetles infest and damage hardwoods, including furniture, flooring, and structural timbers.
Ground Beetles (Carabidae): Ground beetles are beneficial insects that typically live outdoors and feed on other insects, making them valuable for natural pest control.
Ladybugs (Coccinellidae): Ladybugs, also known as lady beetles, are colorful insects that feed on aphids and other plant pests, making them beneficial to gardens and crops.

Signs of a Beetle Infestation

To effectively address a beetle infestation, it’s crucial to be able to identify the signs early on. Look out for the following indicators:

Damage to Property: Beetles can cause various types of damage depending on the species. This includes holes in fabrics, wood-boring tunnels, or chewed leaves and flowers.
Visible Beetles: Spotting adult beetles, larvae, or their eggs in and around your property is a clear sign of infestation.
Frass or Droppings: Some beetles leave behind distinctive frass, which is a combination of their excrement and wood particles. This can be found near wood-boring beetle infestations.
Irregular Holes: In the case of wood-boring beetles, you may notice small, round exit holes on wooden surfaces, often accompanied by fine sawdust or wood dust.
