Beetle Pest Control  Beetle Killer
 
Biscuit Beetle, Stegobium paniceum
The female biscuit beetle lays its eggs either in food stuffs or the surrounding areas. Around two weeks later the eggs will hatch and tiny larvae will emerge and infest food stuff in the area, often penetrating packaging. The larvae will live inside the packets of food stuff for two to five months where they will continue to grow and moult. Once they have reach a full grown length of 5mm they find movement difficult and will construct a cocoon around them.

The pupal stage lasts two to three weeks then the adults may remain in the cocoon for a further two weeks before emerging. On emerging the adults disperse and live without feeding for up eight weeks. Mating takes place soon after the adult has emerged and the female will then lay her eggs before she dies.


Carpet beetle, Coleoptera: Dermestidae
Carpet Beetle (2-4mm) it is related to Furniture Carpet Beetle Museum Beetle and Fur Beetle, the latter being larger (4-6mm) and black with some white markings. This stage of the Carpet Beetle is not the evil doer, it is the larvae stage below (woolly bear) that you need to worry about. The beetles fly, have life of 2-6 weeks in spring/summer and feed outdoors on flower pollen and nectar.

The beetle does no harm in the home, other than lay eggs onto katrin containing products ie: wool, fur, leather, silk and animal remains. Advice for carpet beetle -Woolly Bears are destructive to home furnishings feeding on carpets and sometimes clothes. 4-5mm long, brown in colour and possess 3 bunches of golden hairs arranged in pairs on the posterior abdominal segments. They avoid light and will roll up when disturbed.

They have several moulting stages so you may find many larval moults. They can survive up to 10 months and will hibernate through winter.Treatment will involve the application of a residual insecticide to affected items (usually carpets) do not apply to clothing. Check airing cupboards carefully as these are the main source of infestation. If you have birds nests in the roof these can be another source of problems.


Rust-red flour Beetle, Tribolium canstaneum and Confused Flour Beetle, Tribolium confusum
The red and confused flour beetles are nearly identical in biology and habits except that the red flour beetle flies and the confused flour beetle does not. The threat of the red flour beetle invading from an outside food source, such as grain spillage, must therefore be considered. Red and confused flour beetles are capable of breeding year-round in heated buildings.

The red flour beetle is found more often in flour mills in the UK, United States and Austrailia. Either species, however, could be encountered anywhere. These flour beetles are also known as "bran bugs," being very significant pests of flour and flour by-products. Female beetles deposit eggs in twos or threes within the food material until eventually 300 to 400 eggs are laid. The larvae hatch from these eggs in about nine days and go through from 5 to 18 molts. The life cycle from egg to adult may take 7 weeks to 3 months depending on temperature and humidity conditions as well as quality of the food source. The adult beetles may live up to three years or longer.

Flour beetles are scavengers in that they cannot attack whole grains and must rely on other insects such as rice weevils or lesser grain borers to damage the kernels first. These beetles are most common in processed grain products and their flattened bodies permit them to work their way into almost any package. Flour and other processed food products heavily infested by these beetles often develop a grayish tint. This graying also promotes the growth of mold, which further contaminates the food product. Additionally, secretions from the beetles may add a disagreeable odor to the food product.
