Where do beetles live?
Beetles remain close to their source of food, so the species of the beetle and what they feed on will dictate where they live in a home or business. For instance, beetles that feed on plants will live near potted plants or floral arrangements, while beetles that feed on fibrous materials will live in or near things like clothing or upholstered furniture.

How quickly can beetles cause damage to plants or stored food?
The rate at which beetles cause damage to plants or stored food can vary depending on the beetle species, environmental conditions, and the size of the infestation. Some beetles, like wood-boring beetles, can slowly damage wooden structures over an extended period. On the other hand, plant-feeding beetles can cause significant damage to garden plants and crops within a short period, affecting their growth and overall health. It is essential to address beetle infestations promptly to minimize the potential damage they can cause.
