If you’ve opened up a bag of flour or a box of cereal and seen disgusting bugs crawling around, then you’re not alone. These are pantry pests, or stored product pests, and they’re more common than you might think.

These are insects that will infest dry foods typically stored in boxes or bags. These are items like cereal, dry pasta, corn, flour, rice and other grains, spices, bird seed, and even dried fruit and dry pet food.

The most common pantry pests you will see are indian meal moths, grain beetles, and weevils.

To confirm pantry pest activity, look in or around your pantry or where foodstuff is stored. Having bugs in the kitchen is pretty common, so spotting a tiny bug crawling on your countertops is not enough; you really want to focus on the stored food. The best way to confirm activity is to look for the adult pantry pests themselves. So keep an eye out for moths flying in or around the pantry and bugs crawling around in stored food. Be sure to also check any cupboards, drawers, and shelving.

Once you have confirmed pantry pest activity, it’s time to begin treatment. The first thing you need to do is throw out the contaminated food. If one package is infested, it’s safe to assume they all are.

Vacuum all cracks and crevices in the pantry shelving or cabinets. If your shelving is adjustable, clean out the peg holes with a toothpick and vacuum.

Next, use Novacide aerosol. Novacide is an aerosol insecticide that is labeled to control common pantry pests like rice weevils, saw toothed grain beetles, and moths. You’re going to just spot treat the back and sides of the shelving where there might be cracks and crevices. Spot spray the shelving in quick bursts so a fine mist is applied.

Next, use a Pro Pest Pantry Moth and Beetle Trap. This is a ready to use, pesticide-free trap that uses a pheromone scented glue board to trap pantry pests. Simply remove the protecting paper from the pre-baited glue and fold the trap into a pyramid shape.

Place the trap on the pantry shelving where it won’t get smashed and will be left generally undisturbed. The trap’s pheromone bait will lure adult pantry pests to the trap where they will get stuck in the glue.

Finally, for stubborn pantry pests that slip by previous treatments, use Pyrid. This is an aerosol insecticide that is labeled for many pests and delivers a quick kill. Unlike Novacide, Pyrid does not leave any residual and is instead used as a knockdown spray. This can be applied as a direct or space spray to any pests that remain in the pantry.

Once you’ve finished treating your pantry, it’s time to start thinking about prevention. If you can, buy only about a week or two’s worth of food at a time. Pantries that hold foods for extended periods of time are more likely to see an infestation.

When buying dry foods at the grocery store, take a look at the packaging. If you see any holes, rips, tears, or other openings, like our bag of grains, don’t buy that package.

And when storing food, it is best to keep it in tight-fitting or sealed containers. Put cereals, rice, and flour in containers that can be air-sealed. Even plastic tupperware can help. This is especially true for dry pet food. Pet food and bird seed are often overlooked and extremely conducive for pantry pests, so put your pet’s food in containers.
