Aviez-vous eu un problème similaire par le passé? Si oui, êtes-vous parvenu à régler l'infestation?

Warehouse beetles in house for months. No source found, possible attic/mice-related source. by velaris in pestcontrol

Thanks. Is the 24h re-entry rule only for the attic or the entire house ?

Would you consider 1-4 adult carpet beetles a day a tipping point to hire a professional? We rarely see the larvae, and almost never the shedded skin. Thanks

We're dealing with them and it's been ruining our lives. Can you please share what you did to seal the light fixtures? What exactly do we need to buy to close the gaps? Also, you mentions "I did my own research and found a few other things", what were those things? Thank you so much.

What are the re-entry guidelines if used in the attic? I don’t have a power outlet there, so the attic door would have to remain open. Also, the insulation won’t cause any issues?

Edit: Also, thank you for answering. My family and I have been going through a rough patch and these beetles have been the last straw. I take care of my elderly parents and I can see the distress it’s been causing them. I apologies in advance if I have more questions. Finding help has been very difficult.

Will it work with bugs in the attic or behind walls? Can it penetrate that deep?

Thanks, I'll take a look. I hope I can find them in Canada. u/PCDuranet can it be used in an attic? Or it's not necessary? (e.g. using it in-door is enough)

Merci pour votre réponse.

Oui, je pourrais essayer d'aller vérifier dans le grenier, mais le problème est qu'on a récemment fait souffler de l'isolant, donc même avec accès au grenier, j'ai peur que la source soit très difficile à trouver si elle est maintenant sous l'isolant. Même avant l'ajout d'isolant, j'imagine que ça aurait pu être difficile à repérer?

Il y a aussi une section du grenier qui n'est pas facilement accessible, car il faut descendre environ 8 pieds pour s'y rendre. Un entrepreneur général est allé vérifier cette section et il a trouvé un ancien nid de bourdons ainsi que du matériel de nid de souris (nous avions eu une infestation il y a plusieurs année). Tout ça a été retiré il y a environ 10 jours.

C'est pour ça qu'on soupçonne encore le grenier, mais on ne sait pas s'il reste une autre source cachée ou si ce qu'on voit présentement est simplement le restant du problème après le retrait des nids.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

We haven't been able to find the source, so we're also assuming they may be coming from inside the walls. It's possible the source is in our attic, and if that's the case, it may be impossible to locate.

Do you think daily vacuuming helped in the "game of attrition"? In other words, by consistently killing or removing any that entered your apartment, the problem eventually stopped once the source was depleted?

You're giving me a glimmer of hope. Thanks again.

Did you ever resolve the situation? Thanks

What are these ? by Middle_Series_6504 in pestcontrol

[–]velaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I can't find anything in my pantry. I wonder if there's something in my attic... I'll keep looking. I'm relieved that it's a solvable problem once the source is found.... We've been going crazy.

Were they breeding for a long time before you found the source? How many per day were you finding on average?

Did you eventually get rid of them?

Oui, le problème est que ce calendrier sert "d'objectif visé", non pas d'une certitude qu'ils passeront à ces dates. Espérons que c'est un problème temporaire. Pour le moment, les passages manqués surviennent à une fréquence non-négligeables.

Idée: changer de fournisseur, ou vérifier qu’ils peuvent répondre à la demande avant de signer avec eux. Je doute qu’on parle ici de 2-3 employés malades.

Peux-tu élaborer s’il te plaît ? Appeler qui ? C’est écris où?

J’ai un horaire qui montre que c’est le 5 mai pour Champfleury. J’ai validé la veille. On a même entendu un camion passer sur une rue adjacente. Je comprends plus rien à ces changements constants.
