Stored Product Pest
Stored product pests are insects that infest and damage food products stored in homes, warehouses, and food processing facilities. Common examples include grain weevils, pantry moths, and flour beetles. These pests thrive in stored grains, dried fruits, nuts, and other processed foods, leading to significant economic losses.
Controlling stored product pests involves proper sanitation, regular inspections, and appropriate storage methods. Sealing food in airtight containers can help prevent infestations. If pests are detected, various methods such as traps, insecticides, or professional pest control services may be necessary to eliminate them effectively.
