MITES & Weevils 

Understanding Mites and Weevils

The Threat of Tiny Pests

Mites and weevils are small yet troublesome pests that can infest dry goods, including cereals, pancake mix, dried vegetables, cheese, corn, and dried fruits. Even in the cleanest kitchens, these pests can thrive if conditions are favorable. A humid, dark, and warm pantry provides the ideal breeding ground for mites, which often enter your home either already in food products or hidden within packaging.

Types of Weevils

We primarily deal with two types of weevils:

• Rice Weevil: This species can fly and is known for infesting grains.
• Grain Weevil: Recognizable by its distinct snout, the grain weevil also targets grains but does so by consuming them from the inside out.

Both types of weevils can survive for up to two years, making them persistent pests in your pantry.

Prevention and Control

To prevent infestations, ensure your pantry is dry, well-organized, and regularly checked for signs of pests. Proper storage in airtight containers can also help safeguard your food from these invaders.
