Why Beetle Control is Important
Beetles cover a wide range of species and behaviours.
Beetles might seem harmless at first glance, but when they establish themselves in your home they can cause serious damage to wood, fabrics, stored goods and more. At YYC Pest Control we offer specialized beetle control services for Cochrane homeowners. We help identify the source, remove the infestation and implement steps to keep beetles from returning.
Beetles cover a wide range of species and behaviours.
Taking action early helps you protect your investment, your belongings and your home’s integrity.
We begin with a thorough inspection of your home, inside closets, storage areas, attics, walls and any vulnerable wood or fabric surfaces—to determine what type of beetle we’re dealing with and how they’re getting in.
Next we develop a personalized plan tailored to your situation. This may include targeted treatments for wood-boring species, pantry treatments for stored‐product beetles, protective dusts or sprays for fabrics, sealing access points, and eliminating conducive conditions like moisture or food debris.
After treatment we check back in to ensure the infestation is resolved. We also provide guidance on how to avoid future beetle problems—such as proper storage practices, routine inspections of wood, reducing humidity, and sealing cracks or gaps.
You’ll receive tips on how to protect fabrics, dry goods, and wood structures to avoid future beetle activity.
