Ground Beetles

There are 99 beetles in the state of Minnesota. There are some that are more common, or more abundant, than others. Among some of the more common beetles are the June beetles, stored product beetles, grain beetles, and more. Paffy’s Pest Control can take care of any of these pests with a one-time treatment.

Types of Ground Beetles

June beetles seem to be a seasonal pest, similar to May flies. Do you remember a time where the May flies were so bad Minnesotans got their snow plows out to scrape them off the road? June beetles never seem to be that bad, but they kind of travel, or grow, in spurts like that. Stored product beetles and grain beetles can come inside your home if you live near fields or have a big garden. They don’t pose a threat, but can be a nuisance if they get into your food or warm areas of your home, like your beds. They don’t bite, but they can sure freak you out. Imagine sitting on the couch or laying in your bed and you notice them crawling on you. Are you itching yet?

Ground beetles can release a foul-smelling chemical to deter predators. These nocturnal insects, common in Minnesota and Wisconsin, secrete a pungent odor from their abdomen when threatened, making them less appealing to birds or other animals. This defense mechanism, combined with their ability to hide under rocks or debris, makes them challenging to eradicate from yards or near structures.
