Did you know that in the entire animal kingdom, beetles have the largest number of species?
There are many species of beetles right here in Idaho, but the most common is the stink bug. While they don't pose a health risk or safety concern, they can be unwanted houseguests. Stink bugs are types of beetles that secrete a smelly substance from below their abdomens that's quite unpleasant.
This is what makes them so difficult to remove from your home. If you aren't careful shooing them out of your house, they will emit an odor when compromised.
Another type of beetle indigenous to the Boise area is the June bug, which refers to one of about 100 species of beetles related to the scarabs harking from ancient Egyptian iconography. They are known as chafers, which means they feed on vegetation such as leaves. They can damage entire gardens, lawns and pastures, in fact.
Here at Green Force Pest Control, we specialize in removing beetles of all kinds from Rexburg properties. Our methods are effective and quick, ensuring you can get back to normal in no time. If you're a gardener or own a farm, June bugs in particular can threaten your livelihood. Call us right away.
Beetles live under bark, mulch, rocks and other debris, feeding on plants or fungi. It's uncommon for them to venture indoors, but some have been known to wander into garages or basements. Keep areas around your home free of debris, make sure doors and windows are shut tight, and make sure you keep your landscape properly watered and maintained.
Regular perimeter treatments around your home are also key to prevention.
Call Green Force Pest Control today at 208-391-3542 at the first sign of beetles, stink bugs or June bugs.
