Beetle Identification & Prevention In Chesapeake, VA
What are beetles?
Beetles make up the largest order of insects. They have two pairs of wings. The first pair are hardened and provide a protective cover for the second pair of membranous wings, which they use to fly. A line forms down the body where the hard, outer wings meet and help identify beetles from other insects. Beetles are often grouped by their feeding habits and described as fabric pests, stored product pests, pantry pests, or wood-destroying pests.
Other physical features of a beetle include:
- Chewing mouthparts
- Powerful jaws
- Hard exoskeleton
- Six legs and antennae
Reliable pest control for your Chesapeake home is essential to completely remove beetles from your property.
