The importance of preventive beetle control

A common species in livestock farming is the styrofoam beetle. This type of beetle is commonly found in insulation plates made of styrofoam in the poultry stables. The larvae and beetles feed itself with the fungi that are often found in manure in the stables. To be able to pupate the beetles go and look for a warm and dry place. They drill themselves into the styrofoam plates, that can be damaged by this. Other insulation materials can also be damaged and the styrofoam beetle can be a source of disease for poultry, leading to death. The problems caused by beetles can also cause financial damage. More than enough reason to contact professionals to get rid of the beetles.
