Stored Product Insects

With a huge variety of insects including moths, beetles, weevils and mites, stored product insects can cause incalculable losses. Depending on the species virtually no type of grain, flour, cereals and perishable goods are safe.

Some examples of these pests include

Biscuit and cigarette beetle
Dermestes beetle
Grain beetles
Grain and rice weevils
Flour beetle and flour mite
Indian meal moth, mill moth, tropical warehouse moth
Spider beetle

What they all have in common is the harm they can do. They can contaminate foodstuff and product causing a significant loss of stock. Their presence can indicate non-compliance with legislation and lead to fines. Not only can they damage machinery, but loss of your hard earned reputation and income can also be a serious consequence of these pests.
