Exterminators in Indianapolis, IN

Agricultural inspectors at Indianapolis International Airport recently discovered two khapra beetles in a small bag of barley seeds. The beetle, originating in India, is one of the world’s most destructive pests of grain and seed. There’s even a federal quarantine restricting the importation of rice into the U.S. from countries known to be infested with the beetle. Indianapolis, Indiana exterminators are glad the beetle was caught, because though there are effective treatments known to be used in India, they are not readily available in the U.S. While pest control services in Indiana say the beetle is being found more and more of late by customs officials at airports throughout the country, they hope this isn’t a sign the beetle will infest the nation.
