Not all beetles look alike. Beetles come in different forms. Depending on the type of beetle you are dealing with, they may be long and skinny in shape, or have a more rounded shape to them. The hard exterior back-side of beetles that appears to be their shell, are actually their front wings. Regardless of their size and color, a beetle infestation can be a cause of worry for home owners & renters. 

Beetles can find their way into unsuspecting homes in several different ways. While some beetles find their way into homes by hiding in recently purchased potted plants, others hitch a ride on wooden products like firewood. Like many other insects, a beetle's search for food and warmth are usually what lead them to finding their way into your home. Beetles, like ants, can enter small crevices and cracks in your home. This makes them extremely difficult to keep out of your home. and even more difficult to get rid of. 

While beetles are a true nuisance, they aren't as detrimental to property as the subterranean termite. These pests will more often damage clothes, furniture, and stored food before causing serious harm to the structure and integrity of your home. Some beetles can b easily removed with manual tools like a vacuum. To take preventative measures, inspect all furniture, plants, and food products that you bring into your home - often times the first intruder was unknowingly carried into your home, by you!
