Once in your home, stored product insects are highly mobile and will spread quickly through your property in search of other foods such as dried fruit, rice and cereals.

1. Most stored product insects will be found in infected foodstuffs in kitchens, larders or store rooms close to a food source.
2. The most common insects to infest food products in homes are flour beetles, the saw toothed grain beetle and the Indian meal moth.
3. Flour beetles will breed in milled grain such as flour, rice, oats and cereals. They leave a mouldy taint to any products they infest.
4. Saw toothed grain beetles will eat cereals, dried fruits, macaroni and crackers.
5. Indian meal moth larvae will eat the same cereals, dried fruits and nuts as other stored product pests, but will also infest dried herbs, spices, dry dog food, fish food, cake mixes and bird seed.
6. Stored product insects can chew through packaging to access the food inside to eat or lay eggs.
