General Information on Laber Beetle
The larber beetle can invade food and cause damage to various materials in the house. These damages are mainly caused by the larvas, choosing hard surfaces such as wooden structures, pipes, textiles, mortar, tiles and paper products, as shelter to undergo metamorphosis.
The female lays up to 200 eggs 6 times per year, and the incubation lasts over 12 days. In ideal conditions, the larder beetle goes from egg to adult in only 40 days.
Preparing for Larber Beetle treatment
- Empty all kitchen cabinets and drawers, including crockery and food. Place food in the refrigerator and the rest on a table. Make sure you take everything off of the kitchen counter.
- Plan to leave your home for the duration of the treatment and return only after 4 hours. Wherever possible, open windows for 20 minutes upon your return. It is also important to not walk barefoot on treated areas for 48 hours after treatment.
