Pantry pests infest stored foods and can carry diseases that can make you sick. When you think of pantry insects, moths might come to mind but did you know that there are several other pests that can be in your pantry, like the cigar beetle, drugstore beetle, merchant grain beetles, flour beetles and rice weevils. Here are some things you can do to avoid pantry insects: store pantry items in hard plastic or glass storage containers with tight-fitting lids. Most of these pests originate from grocery store, so look for tears in the packaging and don’t buy bulk foods- or at least be very vigilant. Keep your pantry clean by vacuuming often and cleaning up any spills.
