Beetle Control in Croydon: what we see locally
Biscuit beetles, flour beetles and weevils live in dried foods and spread through cupboards. They usually arrive in a packet that was already infested.
We treat these beetles in Croydon homes and in food businesses, from bakeries and grocers on London Road to restaurants in South End. We help you find the source and treat cupboards and storerooms.
Croydon's diverse food scene, from Caribbean and South Asian grocers in Thornton Heath and Norbury to bakeries and restaurants in the town centre, means dried foods such as rice, flour, lentils and spices are often bought in bulk. A single infested sack can spread beetles to every cupboard in the kitchen.
Where we find beetles in Croydon
- Kitchen cupboards: Open packets are the usual source.
- Grocers and bakeries: Dry goods storage can become infested.
- Pet food: Dry pet food and bird seed are often affected.
- Bulk food storage: Large bags of rice and flour can carry beetles.
Our beetle control service covers the whole of Croydon, including Addiscombe, Coulsdon, Croydon, Kenley, New Addington, Norbury, Purley, Sanderstead, Selhurst, Selsdon, Shirley, South Croydon and Thornton Heath, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping beetles out of Croydon homes
Store flour, rice, cereal, pulses and spices in sealed containers, use older stock first and check new packets before putting them away. Freezing flour or grains for a few days kills any eggs, and wiping shelves regularly removes spilled food.
