What Kind of Bugs Get in Your Food Pantry?
There are many types of pests that are known to congregate and infest kitchens. You want to make sure you know that they are and what to look for. One of them that are common are fruit flies. They are a tiny fly that often are found when you have fruit that is over ripe. You also may have flour beetles and weevils that are found inside the boxes of cereal as well as flour and sugar. The first sign that they are in your food is when you open the container and they are moving around. They can be quite small but they are usually darker in color which can make them available to catch. Other pest that often start in the kitchen usually but then will venture to other areas of the house are house flies.

How to Keep Moths & Beetles Out of Pantry
Seal Up Foods – One of the easiest ways to keep pests out of your food is by making sure that you use containers that can be sealed. There are jars and container that are sealable the more food that you put in these containers the better. The pests the often make their way into your kitchen are looking for food they can easily gain access to.
Use the Freezer – Another way to keep pests from forming in some of your foods is to keep what you can in the freezer. You can package things such as flour, sugar and even cereal in the freezer until you are ready to use it. This will prevent pests from getting in because access to this area is limited. It also is an atmosphere that most pests are not able to live in.
