Signs You Could Be Dealing With Pantry Pests

Most people don't expect bugs to be in their food items after bringing them home from the grocery store. Have you noticed a foul taste or odor? You may have spotted webbing or tiny holes in the packages. If so, you may have a pantry pest infestation on your hands. Make sure to tightly seal any infested items before you discard them to stop the spread. Contact a qualified pest management company that eradicates pantry pests in Anaheim

Tips & Tricks To Combat A Pantry Pest Problem

With the high cost of food today, it's a shame to have to toss it out because of a pantry pest infestation. No one expects to see these insects and their eggs commingled with the contents of their favorite cereal box. These insects are fine with consuming your leftovers from last night's dinner, and they're equally fond of processed items and dry goods. These pests can creep into your cupboards unnoticed and hide in between shelves, waiting for the best time to infiltrate your favorite bagged or boxed treats. The good news is that there are some simple tips to help you avoid a pantry pest problem, which include:

  • Avoid buying damaged food items from the grocery store.
  • Wipe down the inside of your cabinets frequently.
  • Lightly scatter a natural pantry pest repellent, like cinnamon, along the opening of your pantry.
  • Transfer dry goods to airtight storage containers and discard the original packaging.
  • Clean up spilled drinks and food crumbs quickly.

Never leave spoiled food sitting around. Promptly throw it away once it goes bad, so it doesn't attract pests. Check your jars often to make sure the lids are tight. Consult a reputable pest elimination company for the most effective pantry pest control products to keep these bugs out of your home.
