Beetles Pest Control Edinburgh

The team at Wee Critters Pest Control are here to help clear any Beetle infestation from your home

If you’re looking for an effective way to control beetles, there are a few things you can do. First, make sure to keep your garden clean and free of debris.

This will give the beetles fewer places to hide and will make it easier for you to spot them. Second, use insecticidal soap or neem oil to kill any beetles that you see.

These products are safe for people and pets, and they will quickly kill any beetles that come in contact with them. Finally, consider using plants that repel beetles, such as marigolds or tansy.

By taking these steps, you can effectively control beetle populations in your garden and protect your plants.

The most common beetle pests within Scottish properties are Hide beetle and Carpet beetle, both are from the species dermestas.

Hide beetle are most often found in the kitchen where they rely on spilt food particles. They breed in dark areas such as under appliances and in cupboards.
