Beetle Treatment

We Beat Beetles So You Don't Have To

There is a time and place for beetles. Usually, it is in a nature documentary or a classic rock band. It is definitely not in your pantry, your carpet, or crunching under your feet in the hallway. In South Texas, we deal with everything from tiny carpet beetles that chew through your favorite sweater to wood boring Powderpost beetles that can devour your home.

While they might seem harmless compared to scorpions, a beetle infestation is a creeping, crawling nuisance that can damage your belongings and contaminate your food. We are here to make sure your home remains a "No Fly Zone" for these armored annoyances.

You Can't Crush Them All

Seeing a beetle and squishing it might make you feel better, but it is a losing battle. For every beetle you see, there are likely dozens of eggs or larvae hidden in baseboards, under carpets, or inside food packaging.

Generic bug sprays often bounce right off their hard shells or fail to reach the larvae hidden deep within fabrics and cracks. DIY beetle control is often just a temporary band-aid on a much larger problem. To stop the cycle, you need to target the source, not just the wanderers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have tiny black bugs in my kitchen?
You likely have pantry pests, such as weevils or flour beetles. They often hitch a ride inside grocery packaging like flour, rice, or pet food.

How do I get rid of carpet beetles?
It requires a mix of deep cleaning (vacuuming everywhere) and professional treatment. You must remove the food source (lint, hair, wool) and treat the areas to kill the remaining eggs and larvae.

Are the treatments safe for my pets?
Yes. We prioritize safety. We use targeted applications and ask that you keep pets out of the treated area until the product is fully dry, which usually takes about an hour.

How long does it take to get rid of them?
It depends on the life cycle. Because eggs can take time to hatch, we may recommend a follow-up service to ensure we catch the next generation before they can reproduce.

Can you treat for wood-boring beetles?
Yes. If you suspect powderpost beetles or other wood-destroying insects, we can inspect and recommend a specialized treatment plan to protect your home's structure.
