Defeating Pesky Pantry Pest Invaders

Pantry pests invading your food storage areas is a recipe for spoiled food and ongoing nuisance infestations. Instead of DIY pantry pest traps, contact Westfall's Lawn and Pest for your local pantry pest control needs.

“Pantry pest” refers to a category of insects that invade human structures and attack stored food, such as cereals, grains, spices, chocolates, flours, and other starchy items. These pests are most commonly moths or beetles, with specific pantry-invading species including the Indian meal moth, mealworms, saw-toothed grain beetle, and the cigarette beetle.
