ID / Biology / Behavior:

Beetles are biologically in the order Coleoptera from the Greek “koleos” (sheath) and “pteron” (wing). Approximately 40% of known insect species are Beetles. Fossil insect records include Beetles from the Lower Triassic period (220 million years ago)!

Beetles, in general, have a uniform anatomy; however, organs and appendages may vary tremendously between the numerous specific types. Some have a digestive system based on plants, for the most part, as the primary food source. Some are omnivores (feeding on plants and animals). Beetles employ numerous defense strategies including, but not limited to, camouflage, mimicry and toxicity.

Some (but certainly not all) species of Beetles indigenous to our Arizona landscape are: American Carrion (named for eating decaying flesh); Banded Alder Borer (trees); Black Vine Weevil (plants); Blister (emits toxin as skin irritant to humans); Boll Weevil (disastrous to cotton industry); Burying Beetle (buries dead birds/small mammals as food); Horse-Bean Longhorn (saguaro cactus fruits), and last (but NOT least) the Palo Verde Beetle – one of the largest (3-4 inches) Beetles in North America. The Palo Verde lives underground for three years (damaging a tree’s root system) then emerges during monsoon season to mate then dies. Their lifespan is only about one month – SO, though they resemble a flying cockroach, they are basically harmless. Ignore them, if possible, and they’ll disappear relatively quickly!

Habitat:

Beetles are found throughout the world with the exception of marine habitats and polar regions. They are considered Pests because of their destructive tendencies, living in (or on), to name a few: plants, wood, fungi, cotton buds and flowers, trees, a variety of crops as well as stored products (cereal, tobacco, dried fruit).

Our Pest Control Process

We utilize an Integrated Pest Management (I.P.M.) approach for Arizona Pest Control. This comprehensive approach includes:

  • Inspection - Service specialists conduct a thorough inspection of the property.
  • Identification - Pests are identified for appropriate control measures.
  • Environmental Modification - All possible environmental modification solutions are considered prior to any material application.
  • Material Application - When a thorough inspection has been performed, a proper identification has been assessed, and all environmental modification options have been made (if applicable), a material application will be performed in a judicious, environmentally responsible manner.

Pest Control Prevention Tips

A successful Arizona Pest Control program requires more than simply relying solely on your recurring Pest Control services. Understanding that recurring Pest Control plays a critical role, supplemental Pest Control methods include the client’s cooperation in properly preparing and maintaining the property being serviced. Properly preparing and maintaining a Pest-free environment includes:

Interior Considerations: Seal holes in walls and around pipes, cables and wires. Seal cracks and crevices with paint or caulk. Seal other holes ¼” or larger. Fix leaky plumbing. Correct excessive moisture problems. Remove clutter. Organize storage rooms/closets. Store Pest nesting material (fabric, paper, rug scraps, plastic, and insulation) in Pest-proof containers. Clean and screen drains. Cap drains in basement floors. Store human and pet food in Pest-proof containers. Maintain excellent sanitation conditions. Dispose of Pest- or Rodent-infested goods. Remove fecal matter (rodents, bats, birds). Sanitize animal fecal matter after removal. Investigate secondary Pest potential from primary Pest infestation (e.g. fleas, mites).

Exterior Considerations: Cut vegetation back from building walls at least 18″. Remove ivy and other vines from sides of buildings or nearby trees. Trim back tree branches that touch or rub against building. Seal and/or repair air conditioning unit(s). Seal holes in walls and around pipes, cables, and wires. Seal other holes ¼” or larger. Repair damaged roof. Move compost into Pest-proof containers. Fix leaking irrigation. Eliminate standing water. Maintain properly functioning drains. Maintain order in storage shed(s) and/or garage(s). Store Pest nesting material (fabric, paper, rug scraps, plastic, and insulation) in Pest-proof containers. Store grass seed and pet food in Pest-proof containers. Remove debris, lumber and/or rock piles. Move firewood piles as far away from the structure as possible. Cut grass and eliminate weeds. Remove fallen fruit or nuts. Remove fecal matter (rodents, bats, birds). Sanitize animal fecal matter after removal. Investigate secondary Pest potential from primary Pest infestation (e.g. fleas, mites).
