Beetle Control in Havering: what we see locally
Stored product beetles, such as biscuit beetles, flour beetles and weevils, live in dried foods and spread from packet to packet. They usually arrive in something that was already infested before you bought it.
We treat these beetles in Havering kitchens, larders and utility rooms, and in food businesses from Romford Market's traders to bakeries and restaurants. Rural homes that store animal feed, bird seed or pet food in bulk can also be affected. We help you find the source, advise on what to throw away and treat cupboards and shelves.
Where we find beetles in Havering
- Kitchen cupboards and larders: Open packets of flour, cereal and rice are where beetles usually start.
- Animal feed and bird seed: Bulk feed stored in garages, sheds and stables is a common source.
