Beetle Control in Enfield: what we see locally
Stored product beetles, such as biscuit beetles, flour beetles and weevils, live in dried foods and spread through cupboards. They usually arrive in a packet that was already infested.
Enfield has a large Greek and Turkish Cypriot community, and many households and businesses along Green Lanes and Fore Street buy flour, grains, pulses and spices in bulk. A single infested bag can spread beetles throughout a kitchen or storeroom. We help you find the source and treat cupboards and shelves.
We treat homes, bakeries, grocers and restaurants across the borough.
Kitchens that store large tins of flour for home baking, sacks of rice or lentils, or big bags of dry pet food are the most likely to have a long-running problem, as beetles can breed unnoticed at the bottom of the bag.

- Kitchen cupboards: Open packets are the usual source.

Keeping beetles out of Enfield homes
