What Attracts Pantry Pests?

Pantry or cupboard pests are attracted to various factors in your home, including unsealed food items, crumbs, food spills, moisture, and humidity. Easily accessible storage areas also make it easier for these pests to infest your kitchen. Cereals, grains, flour, pet food, and birdseed are particularly susceptible to infestation. Ensuring proper storage and maintaining a clean kitchen environment can significantly reduce the risk of attracting these unwanted pests.

How to Get Rid of Pantry Pests

Getting rid of pantry pests requires a comprehensive approach. Start by discarding any contaminated food items to prevent further spread. Clean all shelves, cupboards, and storage areas with soap and water. Seal any cracks and crevices with caulk to block entry points. Using pheromone traps can help monitor and reduce the population of adult pests. For severe infestations, it is essential to call professional pest control services like Bug Out Pest Control for effective treatment and prevention.
