Pantry Pests Pest Control: Contaminating Food Sources

When pests like beetles, moths, and weevils infest dried food products in pantries and kitchen cupboards, it can lead to serious contamination issues. These insects are collectively referred to as pantry pests.

Common pantry pest species include Indian meal moths, saw-toothed grain beetles, cigarette beetles, flour beetles, drugstore beetles, and granary weevils. While they vary somewhat in size and appearance, they all feed on and reproduce in dried goods like grains, cereals, pasta, nuts, spices, pet foods, and more.

The larvae and adults of pantry pests leave behind webbing, excrement, and shed skins as they consume and develop inside food packages. This can ruin entire food stores, making them unsafe to eat even if infestation isn't visible.
