To prevent beetles in Cameron Park, CA, follow these steps:

Indoor Prevention:

1. Seal Entry Points – Inspect windows, doors, and vents for gaps, and seal them with caulk or weather stripping.

2. Keep a Clean Home – Vacuum regularly, especially in carpets, baseboards, and dark corners where beetles may hide.

3. Store Food Properly – Keep pantry items like flour, grains, and pet food in airtight containers to prevent infestation by pantry beetles.

4. Use Natural Repellents – Essential oils like peppermint, neem, and cedarwood can deter beetles when sprayed around entry points and affected areas.

Outdoor Prevention:

1. Reduce Outdoor Lighting – Many beetles are attracted to bright lights, so switch to yellow or motion-activated lights at night.

2. Remove Decaying Wood & Mulch – Wood-boring beetles and other species thrive in rotting wood, so keep firewood stored away from the home.

3. Control Moisture – Fix leaks and improve drainage around your home, as some beetles are drawn to damp areas.

4. Inspect Plants & Firewood – Before bringing firewood, plants, or secondhand furniture inside, check for beetle activity.
