Beetle Control in Hackney: what we see locally
Stored product beetles live in dried foods such as flour, rice, pasta, grains and spices. They usually arrive in an infested packet and spread through the cupboard.
Hackney's grocers, bakeries and restaurants, from Ridley Road Market to Stamford Hill's kosher bakeries and the Turkish grocers of Green Lanes and Dalston, handle large quantities of dry goods. We treat homes and food businesses, helping you find the source and treating cupboards and storerooms.
Bulk bags of rice, flour and spices are a common source in home kitchens too.
We also see stored product beetles in the kitchens of house shares, where several people keep dried food in the same cupboards and old packets get forgotten at the back.
