Why Are Pantry Pests Considered a Problem?

While pantry pests don’t cause structural damage, they contaminate food supplies by laying eggs inside packaging and spreading bacteria.

🍞 Food Contamination & Health Risks

  • Pantry pests lay eggs in dry foods like flour, rice, cereal, and pasta.
  • Larvae and adult insects contaminate food with droppings, bacteria, and silk webbing.
  • Consuming contaminated food can cause illness, allergic reactions, or digestive issues.

🛒 Infesting Packaged & Bulk Foods

  • Common pantry pests chew through cardboard, plastic bags, and paper packaging.
  • Infestations spread quickly, making removal difficult without expert pest control.

🚨 Reproduction & Rapid Spread

  • Pantry pests reproduce quickly, with hundreds of eggs hatching in just weeks.
  • Infestations can spread to multiple food items, increasing waste and contamination.

If you’ve spotted small insects in your pantry or noticed contaminated food, Empire Pest & Wildlife can help eliminate the infestation and prevent future outbreaks.

Signs of a Pantry Pest Infestation

Pantry pests are often unnoticed until food contamination is discovered. Look for these common warning signs:

Tiny insects crawling in pantry areas, cabinets, or shelves.
Larvae or silk webbing inside dry food packaging.
Holes or chew marks on food packaging (bags, boxes, or paper containers).
Unusual clumps in flour, grains, or cereals (caused by pest activity).
Small beetles, moths, or weevils flying near kitchen lights.

Since pantry pests spread quickly, professional pest control is necessary to eliminate the infestation completely.

Common Pantry Pests in Michigan

Our pantry pest control treatments target:

🦟 Indian Meal Moths

  • One of the most common pantry pests, known for their reddish-brown and gray wings.
  • Their larvae feed on flour, grains, dried fruit, nuts, and cereals.
  • Often seen flying around kitchen lights or near food storage.

🐞 Saw-Toothed Grain Beetles

  • Small brown beetles with tooth-like ridges on their bodies.
  • Infest cereals, grains, pasta, pet food, and dried beans.
  • Spread rapidly and can infest multiple food sources at once.

🐜 Weevils

  • Small, black or brown beetles with elongated snouts.
  • Commonly found in rice, flour, and whole grains.
  • Lay eggs inside food kernels, making infestations hard to detect until it’s too late.

🐞 Cigarette Beetles

  • Light brown beetles that infest spices, tobacco, and dry goods.
  • Often found chewing through packaging and contaminating food.

If you’ve noticed any of these pests in your kitchen or pantry, you need to schedule expert pantry pest control.
