Stored product or pantry pests include several beetles, moths, psocids, and fleas that can invade whole grains or processed foods. These pests are generally brought Into the home in an infested package of food. Initially, the infestations are not entirely evident since most stored product pests are tiny and difficult to see in the naked eyes.
Often, the first evidence that the pest has taken over is the sudden appearance of moth larvae crawling across the ceiling or counter tops. Small moths flying around the kitchen or the presence of beetles especially close to the food package is one of the examples of pantry moth infestation. This pest, for the most part, has a complete life cycle – egg, larva, pupa, adult. These can be found at the same time in a food product.
Humidity and hot weather typically is the trigger that sets off the infestation. When flying around your kitchen, they are searching for a mate so they could replicate. They have the ability to lay up to 400 eggs at one time, which could quickly lead to an infestation. Even if you only see one moth, you will want to take action, because there is definitely more of them hiding from sight.
Proper sanitation and high standards of hygiene is extremely important to eliminate such pest’s infestation. Regular based sanitation and cleaning should be your top priority, particularly in the warmer months when the temperature can expedite the development of stored insect pests.
Pantry moths hide in things you take home in the supermarket and are burrowed in whole grains, flours and cereals. They can without difficulty penetrate via cardboard or plastic bags and will lay their eggs and webbing in those foods. The paper or cardboard containers that the food normally stored or wrapped may be infested although it never has been opened.
There are various types of pantry pest including several beetles, moths, psocids (a minute or small insect of an order that has the booklice) and mites that can invade whole grains or processed foods. Initially infestations are easily overlooked because most stored product pests are very small.
These moths are generally considered harmless and are not identified as carriers of any disease but as miniature as they’re, they can easily infect or destroy all the content of your meals or your cupboard. In just a matter of days, all your stored food will be contaminated and not acceptable for consumption.
If possible maintain storage facilities at or below 16C and humidity at 30% or less.
Guarantee high standards of hygiene, sanitation and housekeeping practices are maintained.
Tidy up all surplus food material, for example, spillages, and residue accumulation in premises, hardware, equipment, stockpiling and transport vehicles.
All stocks/food materials should be put away off the floor and away from walls to administer cleaning and inspections.
Keep raw materials in robust packaging especially for areas such as food processing plants, warehouses, bakeries, storage areas and national assumptions.
Install tight-fitting insect screens or screen screen doors - make sure that they are maintained in precise condition.
What should I do if I accidentally touch any of the areas that have been sprayed?
This will only be a concern if the sprayed areas are still wet. Should this happen, wash with soap and lots of water as soon as you possibly can. After a relatively short period of time, the carrier, tap water will have evaporated and will not harm you in any way should you come into contact with the area.
Am I likely to see the return of pests after the treatment?
It is possible that insects such as ants, spiders or cockroaches may venture inside your property after the treatment has been completed. However, there is a very high likelihood that they will have crossed treated areas and will die very soon afterward.
Should I wash everything once the treatment sprays have evaporated?
There is absolutely no need to do this at all.
