Nobody wants to open a bag of flour or cereal only to find bugs inside. But that’s exactly what can happen in commercial kitchens, food storage facilities, and even in homes across New England. Stored product pests like beetles, moths, and weevils thrive in warm and humid pantries, warehouses, and other food storage areas. Warm temperatures speed up the life cycle, allowing them to reproduce and quickly spread.
When you notice the first signs of an infestation, fast action is key. No matter your property size or purpose, JP Pest Services can help solve your pest problem with a smart mix of inspection, sanitation, and tailored stored product pest control.
Protect Your Pantry & Products
Stopping pantry pests is all about good storage habits. Use airtight containers, clean shelves often, and avoid storing expired or damaged packaging. This also means practicing tight inventory control and maintaining clean loading areas for commercial businesses.
Stay alert to signs like damaged packaging, insect webbing, or small larvae near food. Ultimately, pantry pest control begins with early detection, so if in doubt, call a professional to help identify and contain the invasion before it gets worse.

Where Stored Product Pests May Be Hiding
These mini creatures often lurk in dry goods like pasta, rice, nuts, and pet food. You’ll usually find them where products sit undisturbed, such as behind shelves, old stock, or pantry items. In larger facilities, the corners of storage rooms and loading docks can become hotspots.
It is crucial to keep storage areas clean and check items regularly for tell-tale signs of pests. Any overlooked crumbs or opened packaging invite pests to store products.
Risks of Stored Product Pest Infestations
Even a small infestation can lead to a lot of wasted food and frustration. Stored product pests can spread quickly through a pantry, laying eggs in dry goods and contaminating everything from cereal and rice to spices and pulses. Once inside, they can be difficult to get rid of without help.
Infestations often lead to unexpected costs, including the need to throw out and replace large amounts of food.
For businesses, stored product pests can damage your reputation, lead to failed inspections, and result in lost revenue. These pests can also spread quickly across shared spaces, especially in warehouses or multi-unit housing.
Catching the problem early and calling in professionals can help minimize the disruption and restore confidence in your family and commercial kitchen.
