How can we help you?
Here at Holder’s Pest Solutions we can help prevent beetles from inhabiting your home and prevent them from coming back in the future. Here are some tips to prevent these common beetles from your home:
- Check products that you bring into your home for signs of insects.
- At the store, only purchase products that are completely intact; if there is a hole or rip in the packaging, don’t purchase the product.
- Store products that come in soft packing in hard plastic or glass containers with tight fitting lids.
- If you see signs of stored product pests in your home, put the affected product in the freezer to contain the infestation. You will need to dispose of this outside your home once the products and pests have frozen.
- Change the lighting around your home to sodium vapor lighting. These kinds of lights don’t attract insects such as June beetles. Similarly, turning off outdoor lights at night, and covering windows with blinds and shades can block out the light that attract those bugs.
- Contact Holder’s Pest Solutions to offer you beetle control treatments and prevention tips to keep the problem from re-occurring.
