How Do Pantry Pests Get In Our Kitchens?
Pantry pests often find their way into homes through infested items purchased from stores. From weevils to the Indian Meal Moth, most pantry pests are drawn to dried foods such as:
- Flour
- Rice
- Corn
- Beans
- Dried Fruits
- Seeds
- Pet Food
If you’re ever grocery shopping and notice a poorly sealed package or a box with tiny holes in it, avoid bringing it into your home. To protect your pantry, you can also try sealing your goods in airtight containers—that way, if pests do find their way into your kitchen, they won’t be able to access everything on your shelves.
