1. General information about brass beetles

The brass beetle (Niptus hololeucus) is a worldwide pest of stored products and materials. It originates from tropical regions but has long been native to Europe. It prefers dark, damp, and hard-to-reach areas such as attics, storage rooms, old buildings, or pantries.

The brass beetle infests both food supplies (flour, grain, animal feed, dry goods) and materials such as textiles, paper, or wood. Its larvae are particularly feared, as they can burrow deep into materials or food, causing significant damage.

2. Detect brass beetle infestation – typical signs

An infestation by brass beetles is indicated by various signs:

  • Small, golden-brown beetles (2.5–4.5 mm in size) with a shiny sheen
  • Larvae : whitish-yellow, up to 6 mm long, with bristles and mobile
  • Traces of gnawing on food such as flour, grain, dry products or animal feed
  • Damage to materials such as paper, textiles, wood or packaging
  • Infestation often occurs in hard-to-reach corners such as attics, storage rooms or behind paneling

Since the beetles hide in dark crevices, an infestation often goes unnoticed for a long time.
