Food storage pests, such as weevils, beetles, and moths, can infest dry goods like flour, rice, cereals, nuts, and spices. They contaminate food supplies, making them unfit for use and leading to costly waste.
The key to controlling food storage pests is proper storage and regular inspection. Keep food in sealed, airtight containers and check incoming supplies for signs of infestation before storing. Regularly rotate stock, ensuring older products are used first.
If pests are detected, remove and dispose of affected food immediately, clean the storage area thoroughly, and consider professional pest control treatment if the infestation is widespread.
