Canada alone has over 9,000 species of beetles with some of the most common being the Carpet, Lady Box Elder, Weevil and Grain beetles. While some beetles are helpful as they eat garden insects, others can be quite destructive. They can live almost anywhere they find a food source and lay thousands of eggs in a short amount of time.

They can infect food sources, damage wood, furniture and carpet and are unsightly. In order to properly identify and stop a beetle infestation, you will need the help of a licensed pest control expert.
