The Tempex Beetle: An invisible enemy for poultry farmers

The tempex beetle, also known as the polystyrene beetle, is a growing problem in poultry houses. These beetles not only cause considerable damage by eating insulation materials such as polystyrene, but also by transmitting Salmonella, among other things. It is very important for poultry farmers to recognize and tackle this damage in good time. The beetles feel at home in damp, warm houses and spread quickly via manure, making them difficult to combat without the right measures.

How do you recognize the tempex beetle?

The tempex beetle is small and black, but despite its inconspicuous appearance it can cause enormous damage. Poultry houses offer an ideal breeding environment due to the constant presence of manure and moisture, which allows the beetle to reproduce quickly.

Consequences for poultry houses

The damage caused by the polystyrene beetle is not limited to eating insulation materials. For poultry farmers, this can result in poorer insulation, leading to higher energy costs and reduced efficiency of climate control. This can have a direct impact on the health and productivity of the animals, especially in intensive poultry production where optimal conditions are crucial.

Preventing polystyrene beetles in poultry houses

  1. Working hygienically: Regular removal of manure and cleaning of houses reduces breeding opportunities.
  2. Ventilation: Good air circulation prevents humid conditions that are attractive to beetles.
  3. Inspection: Regularly check the insulation for damage.
