Trusted Pest Control Services in Plantation, FL

Pantry pests can be shocking once you realize they have invaded. Here you are making your favorite dessert from scratch, you peer into the flour you just poured into the bowl and there appears to be tiny bugs (Weevils) moving around inside it! First, they are harmless, they won’t make you sick if you have ingested them at any time. Second, you need to throw out any food that has been infested and replace it. When storing these foods: flour, rice, beans, sugar, brown sugar, corn meal, or any bagged type foods including cereals and pet foods, make sure to purchase air-tight plastic containers or jars. Plastic bags/Ziplock bags are not sufficient! Regularly clean shelves and walls in pantry. Vinegar and water are great for cleaning the pantry shelves and walls, and the crevice attachment on your vacuum will help clean cracks, edges, and corners. Clean and dry old containers well before filling them with fresh food. They may be contaminated and cause a new infestation. Keep storage units dry. Any moisture can provide a rich environment for these pests to thrive. While your first thought might be to call your pest professional, home care is your first defense in dealing with these pests.
