Stored Product Pests
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 various stored foods, such as grains, nuts, dried fruits, and spices, leading to significant economic losses.
Controlling stored product pests involves proper storage practices, such as sealing food in airtight containers and maintaining clean environments. Regular inspections can help identify infestations early, allowing for effective management strategies. In some cases, professional pest control services may be necessary to eliminate severe infestations.
