Darkling beetles are showing up more often around homes, especially in dry outdoor areas and hidden indoor corners.
They don’t bite, but once they find shelter, they can multiply quickly and become a real nuisance.
Key things to know:
Attracted to dry soil, debris, and small gaps around foundations
Can wander into basements, garages, and storage rooms
May contaminate stored food if they get inside
Keeping entry points sealed and removing clutter helps reduce their activity. Early control always works best.
