“Men are so self-complacent in their own affairs, and so willing to deceive himself, that they are rescued with difficulty from this pest. If they wish to defend themselves, they run the risk of becoming contemptible.”

BREEDING
The female Indianmeal Moth lays 60-300 eggs depending on food source and environmental conditions.

FEEDING
Larvae are small, cream-coloured and grub-like with a brown head. They feed on the food source, usually tunnelling into it and creating small holes or tunnels.

FEEDING
The adult moths do not feed on stored product - they only live for a short period of time to mate and lay eggs.

IDENTIFY
The Indianmeal Moth has distinctive wings with a reddish-brown band near the tip, and a pale grey band closer to the body.

HABITAT
They are attracted to warm and humid environments, and enter buildings through small cracks and gaps, and can be transported in infested materials.

INSPECTION
Our Technicians are trained to meticulously seek out stored product pests. They also take into consideration structural issues, housekeeping practices as well as surrounding environments.

PHEROMONE TRAPS
These traps contain synthetic versions of pheromones that pests release to attract mates. When the male pest enters the trap and gets stuck, they are prevented from mating which reduces the population over time.

ULTRA-LOW VOLUME (ULV) MISTING
For serious infestations, this method releases the formula in a fine mist that penetrates all cracks and crevices, effectively targeting all the stored product pests.

PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
Based on our inspection of your premises and the contribution factors that may be involved, our technician will offer advice on how to keep stored product pests away.

SERVICE REPORT
After the service is done, a digital report will be emailed to you. This report contains photos of the problematic spots and the treatment done, along with suggestions specific to your site. 

BREEDING
The Red Flour Beetle lays up to 300 eggs in her lifetime. 

FEEDING
Larvae feed on grain-based products like flour and cereals by tunneling through and leaving a powdery residue called “flour dust” that contaminate and spoil the stored food products.

FEEDING
The adult does not feed on stored food products but cause damage by contaminating the products with their faeces, cast skins and dead bodies.

IDENTIFY
The Red Flour Beetle can fly but it’s not a strong flier and tends to stay close to the food source.

CONDUCIVE
Optimal conditions for developing are high humidity and a temperature range of around 20-35°C.
