OUR PEST LIBRARY
Why do I have a beetle problem?
Adult beetles in Boston often find their way into our homes through cracks and gaps they come across as they travel over the exterior of your home. Lights around windows and doors attract beetles, and they can also get inside through damaged weather stripping or torn screens.
Beetle infestations also begin when adults, eggs, or larvae hitchhike inside our homes. Beetles can move indoors through infested wood or wooden furniture, rugs, blankets, clothing, upholstered furniture, and dry goods like cereal, flour, and other grains.
Where will I find beetles?
Beetles live outside near our homes in damp areas with lots of cover, like gardens and flowerbeds. They also like to gather under things like wood piles, trash cans, and potted plants. Many types of beetles wind up in our houses while searching for a safe, dry place to lay their eggs. In addition to our homes, beetles get inside and thrive in other structures that provide food and breeding sites like restaurants, pet stores, grocery stores, museums, and storage facilities.
Finding adult beetles crawling over a home’s surfaces or around windows or light fixtures usually alerts people to a problem with these pests. The small size of their eggs and larvae makes them easy to overlook. In addition to spotting adults, other signs of a potential beetle problem include finding small holes in upholstery or fabrics, books, and food packaging.
