Yellow Mealworms
Yellow mealworm adults look like typical beetles, dark in color with a hard shell. You often find yellow mealworms in unkempt spaces, forgotten bagged or boxed items in kitchen pantries where the humidity is high and stored food becomes damp or grows mold. A female yellow mealworm will lay eggs in grain products such as bags of flour.
An infestation is usually a sign of poor hygiene. These insects foul all products they eat, which can lead to a lot of food needing to be disposed of. In the outdoors, they will consume grains, leaves, plants, insects and animal feces. They usually are not noticed until they have infested grain products in storage areas. Controlling mealworms usually involves removing the mealworm’s sources of food and shelter by using a vacuum to clean up and the removal of infested food products. However, a treatment plan may require the application of chemicals to eradicate the problem.
