Beetle Control in Greenwich: 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 Greenwich homes and in food businesses, from stalls and cafés at Greenwich Market to grocers and bakeries in Woolwich and Plumstead. We help you find the source and treat cupboards and storerooms.
Woolwich and Plumstead have many grocers selling rice, flour, grains and spices in bulk, and a single infested bag can affect an entire kitchen.
Where we find beetles in Greenwich
- Kitchen cupboards: Open packets are the usual source.
- Market stalls and cafés: Dry goods storage can become infested.
- Bulk food storage: Large bags of rice and flour can carry beetles.
- Pet food: Dry pet food and bird seed are often affected.
Our beetle control service covers the whole of Greenwich, including Abbey Wood, Charlton, Eltham, Greenwich, Greenwich Peninsula, Kidbrooke, Plumstead, Shooters Hill, Thamesmead West and Woolwich, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping beetles out of Greenwich homes
Store dried food in sealed containers, use older stock first and check packets before putting them away. Freezing flour for a few days kills any eggs.
