Understanding Stored Product Pests
Stored product pests, often referred to as pantry pests, are a group of insects that infest stored food products. These pests include beetles, weevils, moths, and more. They can infiltrate your home or business through packaged food items, causing contamination and rendering products unfit for consumption. The most common stored product pests in Georgia include:
Flour Beetles
These small, reddish-brown beetles infest flour, cereal, and other grain products.
Indian Meal Moths
These moths are notorious for infesting dry goods, like rice and pasta, and are often found fluttering near light sources.
Rice Weevils
Tiny and reddish-brown, rice weevils infest rice, grains, and legumes.
Drugstore Beetles
These pests invade spices, tobacco, and various dried herbs.
