Our Beetle Control Process in Cochrane
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.
