Identification
- Beetles have a hard exoskeleton and wings, with the front pair forming a protective cover for the rear wings.
- They range in size, color, and shape, but most have a distinctive oval or rounded body.
- Common household beetles in South Carolina include carpet beetles, furniture beetles, and pantry beetles.
- Signs of beetle infestations include visible damage to fabrics, wood, or food products, and the presence of small, oval-shaped beetles.
- Beetles often enter homes through cracks or by hitching a ride on plants, textiles, or groceries.
Habits
- Some beetles, like carpet beetles, feed on natural fibers and can damage carpets, clothing, and upholstery.
- Pantry beetles infest food items, particularly grains, nuts, and dried goods.
- Beetles are usually more active at night and are attracted to light.
- They can reproduce quickly, leading to large infestations if not addressed.
- Most beetles have a relatively short lifespan, but their ability to reproduce rapidly can make infestations persistent.
Prevention
