Did You Know?
Beetles make up about 25% of all known animal species on Earth—over 400,000 identified species, more than any other insect order.
Some beetles, like fireflies, produce their own light through bioluminescence. Click beetles can glow bright green from spots on their thorax.
Beetles have existed for over 270 million years—predating dinosaurs. They survived the mass extinction 66 million years ago.
The dung beetle pulls 1,141 times its own body weight—like a human pulling six double-decker buses.
Some bark beetles communicate by drumming their heads against tunnel walls, creating rhythmic "songs" to attract mates and warn rivals.
The bombardier beetle shoots a boiling-hot chemical spray at nearly 212°F from its abdomen, firing up to 500 pulses per second.
What You Can Do
Frequent vacuuming of carpets, closets, and under furniture removes carpet beetle larvae and eggs before they cause damage.
Keep pantry items in airtight glass or plastic containers. Inspect grains and flour regularly.
Store wool, silk, and leather in sealed garment bags or bins with cedar blocks to deter carpet beetles.
Check firewood before bringing it inside. Store wood away from the house to prevent bark beetles and wood borers from entering.
Many beetles are attracted to bright lights. Switch to yellow or sodium-vapor bulbs near entry points and keep blinds closed at night.
Dry-clean or launder wool and fur items before seasonal storage. Carpet beetle larvae target soiled fabrics.
What to Avoid
Tiny exit holes with powdery sawdust mean active wood-boring beetles. Ignoring them allows structural damage to spread silently.
Surface treatments won't reach larvae deep inside wood or fabric. Professional treatment targets beetles at every life stage.
Putting infested items back into closets or pantries spreads the problem. Discard heavily infested items or treat them professionally.
Many beetles are attracted to light. Use yellow bulbs outdoors and seal gaps around doors and windows.
