Pantry Pests

Are pantry pests dangerous?

Pantry pests are not a threat to human health and are more commonly referred to as a nuisance. On the other hand, you should never allow them to reside in your house or place of business because they quickly contaminate food sources.

No threat is posed by pantry bugs to persons or buildings. Adults are the least dangerous stage; the larvae of pantry pests that feed on stored food and cause damage are often the most destructive.

A stored food item serves as the location where the female lays her eggs. As soon as the eggs hatch, the larvae begin feeding on the food, and in the process, they contaminate it with their saliva and waste.

Why do I have a pantry pest problem?

Adult weevils, moths, and beetles find their way inside houses and businesses on their own, typically after being drawn in by exterior lights. Adults of these pests are also known to cause damage to wood.

They enter through cracked exterior walls, gaps around windows and doors, and open windows and doors. They can also enter through areas around windows and doors.

Another common method by which these insects enter homes is through food products bought from stores that include eggs or larvae of pantry pests already inside the packaging.

Where will I find pantry pests?

There are pantry pests everywhere food is stored. Typically, this is found in the kitchen and pantry.

They consume an assortment of dry foods, such as whole grains, pasta, cereal, flour, cornmeal, dried fruits, spices, cake mixes, chocolate, tobacco, and dry pet food.
