Do Beetles Hate Vinegar?

Yes, beetles tend to dislike vinegar. You can use a vinegar solution to clean surfaces and deter beetles. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, spraying it on affected areas. This method is particularly useful for deterring pantry beetles in Australia.

What Do Beetles Hate Most?

A beetle in house settings or a warehouse beetle is generally repelled by strong scents and certain natural substances. Some effective deterrents include:

• Essential Oils – Oils like lavender, eucalyptus and peppermint are known to repel beetles.
• Diatomaceous Earth – This natural powder dehydrates and kills beetles when they come into contact with it.
• Cedarwood – Cedar blocks or chips can deter beetles due to the strong aroma.
