Should I Be Concerned About My Family’s Health When Dealing With Beetles?

Beetles are among the hundreds of insect species that do not transmit diseases to humans or animals. However, these insects still pose a health risk to their human victims due to food contamination. Beetles possess the necessary qualities and behaviors to meet the insect classification deemed “pantry pest.” The insect species that belong to this classification are characterized by their home infiltration and stored food diet.

Beetles intentionally infiltrate buildings in hopes of accessing an endless supply of non-refrigerated food stored in pantries. Like the ant and carpenter ant, beetles have mandibles that operate in the same manner as medical forceps and culinary tongs. Beetles utilize their strong mandibles to access dried cereal, dog food, flour, spices, and nuts. Beetles contaminate food by defecating while feeding. If a household member(s) consumes the contaminated, they are at a high risk of developing a foodborne illness.

What Do I Need To Prevent A Repeat Beetle Infestation?

The first thing you will need is a waterproof sealant, such as caulk or silicone. Utilize the sealant to fill in gaps and crevices utilized by insects to infiltrate your home. If beetles are utilizing these access points, so other insect species. Sealing the openings will rule out all future pest infestations.

Another suggestion is to update your nonperishable food storage system. We recommend transitioning from vulnerable manufacturing packaging to glass and BPA-free plastic containers with lids. Once the lids are sealed, beetles and other insect species will no longer be able to infiltrate the food stored inside.
