Beetles in Tennessee

Beetles in Tennessee come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, but many feature similar physical traits. While they are poor fliers, beetles have strong chewing mouth parts, robust antennae, and shell-like front wings (called elytra) that protect their hindwings and prevent damage and dehydration.

Although beetles share similar outward appearances, different species are attracted to different food sources and materials. Stored product beetles, for example, go after stored grains and poorly packaged dried foodstuffs. Other types of beetles, such as powderpost beetles, have an affinity for wood and cellulose-based materials.

No matter what type of beetle it is, though, having them inside your home can be unsettling—not to mention cost you money. From anobiid powderpost beetles damaging structural support beams to drugstore beetles contaminating your package of flour, beetle infestations in Tennessee need to be addressed quickly.

Fortunately, the pest control experts at U.S. Pest Protection have years of experience eliminating and preventing all types of beetles in Tennessee homes and businesses.
