Pantry Moths & Stored Product Pests in Newcastle
Pantry moths, weevils and beetles infest dry goods — flour, rice, cereal, grains, nuts, spices and pet food. They contaminate pantries and can persist for months if the source isn't identified and eliminated.
The Problem
Stored product pests breed inside food packaging, contaminating entire pantries. Pantry moths lay eggs in dry goods, larvae web in flour and cereal, and beetles infest grains and pet food. The infestation spreads quickly between stored products and can persist for months.
Our Solution
We inspect, identify the species, trace the infestation source, remove contaminated products, and apply targeted treatment to cracks and crevices where appropriate. We advise on storage practices and monitoring to prevent recurrence.

FAQ
Pantry Moths & Stored Product Pests — your questions answered
How do pantry moths get into my kitchen?+
Pantry moths usually arrive in infested dry goods from the supermarket — flour, cereal, grains, nuts or pet food. They can also enter through gaps in packaging. Once established, they spread between stored products.
Can I treat pantry moths myself?+
You can dispose of infested products and clean the pantry, but professional treatment targets the cracks and crevices where eggs and larvae hide. Without treating these, the infestation often returns.
How do I prevent stored product pests?+
Store dry goods in sealed containers, inspect packaging before purchase, rotate stock, keep storage areas clean and dry, and use bay leaves or pheromone traps as monitors.
