Beetle Control in Barnet: what we see locally
Stored product beetles live in dried foods such as flour, cereal, rice, pasta and spices. They usually arrive in a packet that was already infested and then spread to other food in the cupboard.
We treat these beetles in Barnet homes, as well as bakeries, delis and food shops across the borough's high streets. We help you track down the infested food, advise on what to throw away and treat cupboards and shelves to clear them.
Where we find beetles in Barnet
- Kitchen cupboards: Open packets of flour, rice and cereal are usually the source.
- Bakeries and delis: Stored flour and grains in food businesses can become infested.
- Pet food and bird seed: Dry pet food and bird food are often overlooked sources.
- Larders and pantries: Older Barnet houses with large larders can hide infestations for a long time.
