Beetle Control in Southwark: 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.
Southwark's food businesses, from Borough Market's traders and Bermondsey's bakeries to the African and Caribbean grocers of Rye Lane, handle large quantities of dry goods. We treat homes and businesses, helping you find the source and treating cupboards and storerooms.
Home kitchens in Peckham and Walworth often keep large bags of rice, flour, garri and dried pulses, and beetles can build up unnoticed at the bottom of a sack. In food businesses, a single infested delivery can affect a whole storeroom, so we check deliveries as well as shelves.
