Store product pests can infest a wide range of structures, from massive food-processing facilities to a homeowner’s modest pantry. In any scenario, it is important to quickly stop the infestation to help prevent food spoilage. 

Before sending customers searching for a pest-infested product, ensure it is truly a stored product pest. Many small insects can be confused for stored product pests, particularly beetles and moths. Additionally, these insects are common outdoors, and often are strong fliers attracted to lights at night. Keeping doors and windows securely shut can be an easy solution.
