STORED PRODUCT PEST CONTROL
Stored Product Pest
Protecting dry goods and inventory in warehouses, food processing facilities, and restaurants across Tampa Bay.
Stored product pests, beetles, moths, weevils, and related insects, infest dry goods, grains, and packaged food. They’re most common in food processing facilities, warehouses, grocery operations, and restaurants with significant dry storage. Florida’s heat and humidity accelerate their reproduction. An infestation can spread through an entire inventory before it’s detected.
Common Stored Product Pests in Tampa Bay
- Indian meal moths
- Sawtoothed grain beetles
- Drugstore beetles
- Red flour beetles
- Rice weevils
These pests don’t just contaminate product. They trigger health code violations and can require full inventory disposal when an infestation runs unchecked.
What Treatment Looks Like
Effective control starts with identification: different species need different approaches. We inspect storage areas, identify the pest and the source, and build a treatment plan around your operation.
Options include:
- Source removal, finding and eliminating infested product
- Residual treatments in storage areas
- Pheromone monitoring traps to track activity
- Fumigation for severe infestations, see commercial fumigation
- Facility recommendations to cut re-infestation risk
