Stored product pests in Milton are all too common, especially in food and beverage processing facilities. This is because of the quantities and kinds of food, both components and final products, that are kept there. Stored product pests like beetles, weevils, moths, etc., can cause significant damage and product loss once they’re in the warehouse. They can contaminate meals, feed on or burrow into grains, or leave behind feces and webbing.

Types of Stored Product Pests in Milton
Although stored product insects come in a wide variety of species, their biology and habits allow them to be divided into four major groups:
External feeders
As the name suggests, these bugs eat the outside of cereal (grain) and kernel items before slowly infiltrating the goods and packaging. Cigarette beetles and Indian meal moths are examples of pests in this category.
Secondary Feeders
Usually product remnants, these bugs will eat nearly anything without discriminating. Among them are the saw-toothed grain beetle and the red flour beetle.
Scavengers
These bugs usually eat rotten and moist food items and feed on trash found in cracks and crevices. These include fungus bugs, flat beetles, and rusty grain beetles.
Internal Feeders:
This group of pests includes smaller grain borers, granary weevils, and Angoumois grain moths, which are known to lay their eggs in grain.

How We Work?
We, at AR Pest Control, stay current on the newest and most efficient techniques for preventing stored product pests in Milton. We take the following strategy to control stored product pests:
The process of fumigation
For the majority of outbreaks, we advise using a variety of aerosol sprays.
Spraying non-residual insecticide
These fast-acting medicines, which contain substances like pyrethrins that are active for a brief period of time, are a great way to treat severe outbreaks on the spot.
Spray of residual pesticide
We employ insecticides such synthetic pyrethroids, which stay active on surfaces for longer, to provide additional protection in between applications.
Earth made of diatoms
For severe infestations, we might spread food-grade diatomaceous earth across the impacted region. When insects come into touch with this naturally occurring material, they lose moisture, dry out, and eventually perish.
Fog from aerosols
As an alternative to fumigation, we can apply pesticides in the form of aerosol fog.
Treatment follow-up
Many insecticides work well on adult stored bugs and their larvae, but they may not work as well on unhatched eggs. Weeks after your first treatment, once the eggs have hatched, a second epidemic could start. At AR Pest Control, we do a follow-up treatment based on the life cycle of the invasive pest bug to prevent a new infestation.
In other cases, pests could breed in places that are difficult to access and where the first treatment did not fully penetrate.
This makes it more difficult to stop an outbreak, and you will typically need to apply more treatments to protect your house a few weeks later.
What Now?
Despite the small size of stored product bugs, an outbreak can occasionally spread rapidly, suddenly filling your pantry and food with flying and crawling insects.
