San Antonio Beetle Exterminators
There are more than 5 million different species of beetles in the world accounting for approximately 25% of all life forms on earth. They make up the largest category of insects in the world.
A beetle's body consists of three different sections an abdomen, thorax, and head. They are easily identified by their hard outer shell which covers their wings. The wings are only exposed during flight.
Beetles can cause a great amount of damage to wood structures because partially because when they eat they remain unseen. Many different types of beetles feed on wood. This is true of Old House Borer Beetles, Bark Beetles, Powder Post Beetles, Citrus Long-Horned Beetles, Asian beetles, and other species. As recently as 1999 another species of beetle, the Citrus Long-Horned Beetle, was introduced into the United States and is currently without any natural enemies. The damage they will create is expected to be extensive although it is not known yet.
Beetle larvae eat wood but adult beetles do not. If you see holes in furniture or wood it is because the larvae have already left and this was their exit holes. Generally beetles are attracted to the same type of wood they were born in and if you see this there could be a nearby infestation.
Other beetles feed on plants and vegetables in your gardens such as the Western Corn Rootworm, Colorado Potato Beetle, the Boll Weevil, and Colorado Potato Beetle. Damage they cause to crops can be in the millions of dollars although some like the ladybug help reduce the population of other insects.
