Types of Ground Beetles

June beetles seem to be a seasonal pest, similar to May flies. Do you remember a time where the May flies were so bad Minnesotans got their snow plows out to scrape them off the road? June beetles never seem to be that bad, but they kind of travel, or grow, in spurts like that. Stored product beetles and grain beetles can come inside your home if you live near fields or have a big garden. They don’t pose a threat, but can be a nuisance if they get into your food or warm areas of your home, like your beds. They don’t bite, but they can sure freak you out. Imagine sitting on the couch or laying in your bed and you notice them crawling on you. Are you itching yet?

Paffy’s Pest Control One-Time Crawling Insect Package

Paffy’s takes pride in effectively exterminating these pesky beetles with our specialized one-time Crawling Insect Package. To ensure their complete elimination, we typically begin by spraying the exterior of your property, reaching three feet up and extending three feet out from the foundation. This comprehensive approach helps to create a protective barrier, preventing any more beetles from making their way inside. Additionally, we employ a variety of targeted treatments within your home, including sprays along the baseboards, strategically placed baits, and effective traps, all designed to thoroughly rid your living space of these unwanted pests. It’s important to note that the treatment options outlined in this post are customized based on the square footage of your property and are performed just once. Our commitment to customer satisfaction means that we guarantee to eradicate these pests right the first time; if they persist, we will return at no additional charge to ensure your home is beetle-free.

Ground beetles can release a foul-smelling chemical to deter predators. These nocturnal insects, common in Minnesota and Wisconsin, secrete a pungent odor from their abdomen when threatened, making them less appealing to birds or other animals. This defense mechanism, combined with their ability to hide under rocks or debris, makes them challenging to eradicate from yards or near structures.

We were having some siding repaired when a contractor found a large yellow jacket nest next to the house. With no extra time in the schedule I panicked but Paffy’s saved the day! They were able to squeeze us in same day, and get our contractor back to work. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and knowledgeable. I’ll be using them again no question.

We have used Paffy’s for years at two properties and have taken advantage of the three season discount offered each year for the upcoming year. Randall B was our technician today for our summer application. He did a fine job, was courteous and introduced himself to us when he knew we were home. I haven’t seen bugs in the house because Paffy’s does their job!
