Stored Product Insects
Stored Product Insects are pests that infest and damage food products stored in homes, warehouses, and food processing facilities. Common types include grain weevils, flour beetles, and pantry moths. These insects thrive in various stored foods, such as grains, flour, nuts, and dried fruits, leading to significant economic losses.
Controlling Stored Product Insects involves proper sanitation, regular inspections, and appropriate storage methods. Keeping food in airtight containers and maintaining clean storage areas can help prevent infestations. In severe cases, professional pest control may be necessary to eliminate these pests and protect food supplies.
