Appearance - While there are more than 25,000 different beetle species in North America, all beetles share some characteristics. Regardless of species, all beetles have two hard, shell-like wings that cover more delicate wings underneath. These second wings are used for short flights.
Behavior - Seeing a lot of beetles, or a dramatic increase in the number of beetles in your house or on your property is the first means of identifying a beetle infestation. Different species of beetles, all of which can be troubling, feed on different sources. While some beetles feed on plants which can negatively affect your garden, others feed on wood, including the wood behind your walls or even in picture frames and wicker.
Beetles often seek out properties with a lot of vegetation for the plants themselves, as well as the other pests that are attracted to the plants. They also may enter homes for shelter and food sources if they feed on wood.
Various species of ground beetles can often develop high numbers in the summer and enter through gaps in doors and windows. Assessing the beetle population will determine if a beetle problem exists, and what species of beetle is causing the problem. This assessment will lead to customized beetle treatments to provide Washington DC & Virginia beetle control to your property and home.
Some beetles can be harmless to you and your family and can even be beneficial to your property by keeping other bug populations under control. Others can start eating your garden. An effective Washington DC & Virginia beetle removal program is needed to keep your yard and home safe from overpopulation and costly beetle damage problems.
American Pest guarantees its treatment plan. If for whatever reason you have any new beetle problems or other covered pests, we will treat at your convenience and at no additional cost to you.
The barriers we put in place to protect your home and family against pests will naturally break down over time. This is why over the course of the year we will regularly reapply treatments as well as re-inspect for new conditions, avenues and sources of pests to ensure your home is protected. For more details on our treatment schedule read our Home Protection Plan page.
