Beetle Control in Newham: what we see locally
Stored product beetles live in dried foods such as flour, rice, lentils, grains and spices, and usually arrive in an infested packet or sack.
Many Newham households cook with large quantities of atta, rice, lentils and spices bought in bulk from Green Street, Queen's Market and East Ham High Street, and a single infested sack can spread beetles through a whole kitchen. We treat homes and food businesses, helping you find the source and treating cupboards and storerooms.
Many Newham households cook with basmati rice, atta, gram flour and lentils bought in large sacks, and beetles can build up unnoticed at the bottom of a sack for months before spreading to every opened packet in the kitchen.
