Pantry Moths Pest Control

Stored product pests or pantry moths include several creepy crawlies, moths, psocids, beetles and parasites that can infest entire grains or processed foods. The nuisances are normally brought into the house in infested food packaging. At first, infestations aren’t that visible since most stored product pests are tiny.

Frequently, the first evidence that the insect has taken over is the sudden appearance of moth larvae crawling across the ceiling or counter tops. Small moths flying around the kitchen or the presence of beetles especially close to the food package is one of the examples of pantry moth infestation. This pest, for the most part, has a complete life cycle – egg, larva, pupa, adult. These can be found at the same time in a food product.

Humidity and hot weather typically is the trigger that sets off the infestation. When flying around your kitchen, they are looking for a mate so they can replicate.
