Types of Food & Pantry Bugs Found in the Kitchen
A-Tex Pest Management extends our services in the Greater Austin, Texas area to pantry pests. There is a wide range of pests that will attack a variety of food found in your pantry; cereals, flour, herbs, spices, chocolate, dried fruits, and so on are all susceptible. These foods can even be victimized by pests without you being any the wiser.
How Do Pantry Pests Get in Your Home?
The pests often get into your pantry’s food in a number of ways. Some come in from the outside your home through cracks and crevices, but mostly, believe it or not, most of these pests are actually brought into your home in the very food products you are purchasing. The origin of the infestation most likely occurred at the food processing plant, the warehouse, delivery truck, or retail store. The longer the packaged food lingers in any of these locations, the most likely infestation can happen.
