Why Darkling Beetle Control Matters

Darkling beetles are more than a nuisance—they present a direct biosecurity threat to poultry operations:

• Disease Transmission: Beetles are known carriers of Salmonella, E. coli, Marek’s disease virus, and other harmful pathogens.
• Feed Competition: Large beetle populations consume poultry feed, increasing operating costs.
• Structural Damage: Beetles burrow into and destroy poultry house insulation, reducing energy efficiency and raising heating/cooling expenses.
• Flock Stress: Infestations can increase stress on birds, negatively impacting weight gain and productivity.

By integrating Arkion® into a pest management program, producers reduce these risks and protect both animal welfare and farm profitability.

Application & Best Practices

For optimal results, Arkion® should be applied in areas of high beetle activity, including:

• Poultry litter
• Breeding sites
• Feeding and watering areas
• Locations with high moisture or organic buildup

To maximize long-term effectiveness, use Arkion® in combination with:

• Routine monitoring programs to identify early infestations
• Good sanitation practices to reduce beetle food and breeding sites
• Proper grain storage to prevent re-infestation
