Pantry pests, also known as stored product pests, include several different beetles and moths that like to infest dry food products. They have also been known to live in dried flower arrangements and potpourri. The insects that occur most frequently in homes in Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay, and throughout Wisconsin are saw-toothed grain beetles, Indian-meal moths, red flour beetles, and cigarette beetles.
Pantry pests are typically found in products such as pancake mix, cereals, macaroni, crackers, spices, pet food, birdseed, and dried fruit. Often times, food products contain the eggs of these pests when it is purchased at the grocery store. Unfortunately, it is only a matter of time before their presence becomes evident in kitchen cabinets.
Pantry pests are usually harmless but they can produce irritation or allergic reactions in some people.
