Beetles are a normal insect and many are mostly harmless–when they’re outdoors! Certain beetle species can infests homes and commercial properties alike, causing property owners a lot of grief trying to get rid of them. Pantry beetles are a common household pest, often discovered when you go to open a forgotten sack of flour. Another common household beetle is the carpet beetle, which, true to its name, feeds on the fibers in carpets and rugs. Getting rid of either of these beetles often requires the assistance of a beetle exterminator who can ensure complete removal and help prevent future infestations.
