Beetle Control in Lewisham: what we see locally
Stored product beetles live in dried foods such as flour, rice, grains, pulses and spices, and usually arrive in an infested packet.
Lewisham's grocers and markets, from Deptford High Street to Lewisham Market and Catford, sell many dry goods, and households often buy rice, flour and pulses in bulk. We treat homes and food businesses, helping you find the source and treating cupboards and storerooms.
We often find beetles in large bags of rice, flour or dried pulses kept in kitchens across Catford, Deptford and Lewisham, where they build up at the bottom of the bag and spread to opened packets nearby.
