Beetle Control in Merton: 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 already infested.
Mitcham, Colliers Wood and Morden have many grocers and households that buy rice, flour, lentils and spices in bulk, and a single infested sack can spread beetles through a whole kitchen. We treat homes and food businesses across the borough, helping you find the source and treating cupboards and storerooms.

- Bulk bags of rice and flour: Large sacks can harbour beetles for months.
- Spice cupboards: Whole spices and chilli powder often host biscuit beetles.
- Grocers in Mitcham: Dry goods storage needs regular checks.
