How To Get Rid Of Cigarette Beetles

Insecticides can be effective against cigarette beetles, but unfortunately they are difficult to kill; they have a very unusual and varied diet, and are capable of digesting strychnine, rat poisons and other chemicals which would kill other household pests quite easily. They are even more difficult to kill than the nearly indestructible cockroach, as pyrethrum powder that is strong enough to kill the latter is digestible by the former. There are products on the market that work to stop cigarette beetles (for example, Rose Pest Solutions makes an insecticide that kills a wide variety of insects including cigarette beetles), but ridding the area of them entirely takes constant and persistent effort. It is recommended to take an attitude of prevention early on to avoid the unnecessary nuisance of dealing with a cigarette beetle infestation.
