Our Drugstore Beetle Extermination & Removal Service

Both cigarette and drugstore beetles infest a wide variety of foods, especially dried plant and animal products. In addition to being common stored-product pests, these beetles also become a homeowner nuisance by flying on windows and doors in heavy populations. They also may chew through furniture fabric, books, manuscripts, and similar materials. They do not bite or sting humans or pets, spread disease, or feed on or damage the house.

Our Unique Approach To Drugstore Beetle Extermination & Removal Service

1. CIGARETTE & DRUGSTORE BEETLE INSPECTION

Pest EZ will perform a thorough inspection in and around your home, searching for entry points. Inside, we’ll inspect carpet edges, doors, windows, and suspect areas.

2. INTERIOR CIGARETTE & DRUGSTORE BEETLE INSTRUCTIONS

Most home infestations of pantry pests maintain themselves on spills in the crevices of cupboards and drawers or in opened packages of food stored for long periods of time. Following a few general guidelines when storing food products will help you avoid many potential problems.

Do not put exposed food on shelves. Place it in containers with tight-fitting lids (plastic bags are not adequate).

Regularly clean shelves, bins, and all other locations where there is any possibility of flour or other food particles accumulating. Certain pests need only small amounts of food to live and survive.

3. CIGARETTE & DRUGSTORE BEETLE CHARACTERISTICS
