Why DIY Methods Always Fail

Save yourself time, money, and frustration. Here's why store-bought solutions don't work:

Vacuuming and cleaning infested areas

Problem: Spider beetles hide in cracks and crevices that vacuums can't reach
Result: Infestation persists despite cleaning

Diatomaceous earth

Problem: Diatomaceous earth only works on direct contact and spider beetles often hide in inaccessible areas
Result: Many beetles remain unaffected, leading to continued infestation

Freezing infested items

Problem: Spider beetles can survive low temperatures by entering a dormant state
Result: Infestation may return after thawing

Sealing cracks and crevices

Problem: Spider beetles can already be living inside stored food or hidden areas
Result: Infestation continues despite sealing cracks

Stop Wasting Time and Money

The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
