Jonarob Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hi guys, My apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Over the past couple of weeks we've had a serious number of beetles appearing in the Dining Room clinging to the walls and the ceiling. I'm not sure what sort of Beetle they are, though. I have attached a photo and was wondering if anyone could help? I initially thought it was some sort of Weevil, but after looking at the photo I'm fairly convinced it's a Spider Beetle, but, I'm probably very wrong. Anyone have any better ideas? I am in the UK, by the way. Thanks very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regiarbol Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 it's probably a weevil. I heard that to get rid of them you need to clean the entire place of food that might be contaminated and move it away as far as possible. Also, you could vacumn the area to make sure that there aren't any other bits of food that they could get to. I think you can freeze your food or heat it for further prevention.

Dynastes Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 It's most certainly a weevil. How big is it? Do you have any containers of beans or grains nearby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mashku Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi guys, maybe it is a Otiorhynchus ligustici. Greetings, Mashku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
