In ideal conditions, the larder beetle goes from egg to adult in only 40 days.<\/p>\n<h2>Habitat and Food<\/h2>\n<p>Often the larder beetle can be found inside the home in the attic, walls and inside roofs, behind the stove or in the range hood as well as in the pantry. As its name suggests, the larder beetle enjoys food containing animal fat. This may include cooked meats, dried meats, ham, bacon, sausages, fish, cheese, animal skins, feathers, beeswax, dead rodents, grease and cooking oils, dry pet food and a variety of live or dead insects.<\/p>\n<h2>Undesirable Effects<\/h2>\n<p>The larder beetle can invade food and cause damage to various materials in the house. These damages are mainly caused by the larvae, choosing hard surfaces such as wooden structures, pipes, textiles, mortar, tiles and paper products, as shelter to undergo metamorphosis.<\/p>\n<h2>Signs of Infestation<\/h2>\n<p>Old molts (cast skins) and fragments of adult beetles in food is an indication of an infestation of larder beetles.<\/p>\n<h2>Preparation Steps for a Treatment<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Empty all kitchen cabinets and drawers, including crockery and food. Place food in the refrigerator and the rest on a table. Make sure you take everything off of the kitchen counter.<\/li>\n<li>Plan to leave your home for the duration of the treatment and return only after 4 hours.
