Why Do I Have a Pantry Pest Problem?
The most common way pantry pests move into our homes is inside stored products purchased from the store already infested with pantry pest larvae or eggs. Once inside your house, the larvae eventually develop into adults, and then the new females lay their eggs on dry goods stored in your home, continuing the infestation. Sometimes adults will enter indoors on their own, moving inside through spaces around windows and doors or other openings they find.
Where Will I Find Pantry Pests?
Pantry pests are problematic inside homes, grocery stores, restaurants, food storage facilities, pet stores, and anywhere food handling and storage occurs. Pantry pests most commonly invade our kitchen and pantry areas in our homes.
Examples of stored foods pantry pests commonly invade:
- Flour and cornmeal

- Dry pet food
