Beetles can turn your cozy outdoor sofa into their new home, but with the right strategies, you can keep them at bay. Here’s how:

1. Regular Cleaning: Beetles are attracted to dirt and debris. Vacuum and wipe down your sofa weekly to remove food crumbs, pollen, or other organic matter.

2. Use Natural Repellents: Essential oils like cedarwood, neem, or citrus can deter beetles. Mix a few drops with water and spray the solution on your sofa.

3. Cover Your Sofa: When not in use, protect your sofa with a tight-fitting, waterproof cover to block beetle access.

4. Inspect and Treat Wood: If your sofa is made of wood, check for signs of beetle larvae or holes. Apply a wood sealant or insecticide designed for outdoor furniture.

5. Avoid Moisture: Beetles thrive in damp environments. Keep your sofa dry by placing it in a shaded, well-ventilated area or using moisture-absorbing products nearby.

By following these steps, you can enjoy your outdoor sofa without unwanted beetle guests!
