Protecting Your Food, Home, and Peace of Mind from Stored Product Pests
Stored product pests, often called pantry pests, encompass a diverse range of beetles and moths that pose a considerable threat to your pantry staples, including whole grains, processed foods, and commercial products.
These stealthy intruders inflict substantial economic losses across the global food industry, impacting every stage from farming and storage to transportation, processing, distribution, and even infiltrating our homes and businesses. Their presence not only leads to financial setbacks but also tarnishes the reputation of businesses.
Store product pests can easily contaminate food items, resulting in failed sanitation audits and substantial financial repercussions for businesses. Moreover, consumers may resort to legal action against producers for selling contaminated goods.
Among the pantry pests that commonly infiltrate our homes, we encounter a variety of insects, including the Indian meal moth, saw-toothed grain beetle, and cigarette beetle. Infamous for infesting dried fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, candy, dry pet food, and more, the Indian meal moth's larvae are unsightly, dirty-looking caterpillars that create an unsavory environment. Red flour beetles wreak havoc on processed grains like flour, meal, dried fruits, dry dog food, dried meats, and even non-food items like drugs and tobacco. Their rapid reproduction rate means even a minor infestation can quickly spiral out of control. Also known as tobacco or cigar beetles, these invaders target a wide range of dried food products, laying their eggs in and around food materials and causing extensive damage.
At just 1/8" in size, carpet beetles may bite, leading to itchy rashes due to contact with their larvae's hair fibers. They are skilled at infiltrating various spaces, laying eggs, and contaminating food products.
These pests feast on animal fibers such as wool, silk, fur, and leather, leaving closets and dark areas as breeding grounds. While rarely visible, their larvae feed on these materials.
Infestations often manifest with live or dead insects and webbing, cast skins, pupae, and larvae around food products. The extent of the infestation corresponds to the number of insects observed.
