Pantry Pest Extermination in Sonoma County
Pantry pests—such as weevils, moths, and beetles—are common culprits that can infest your food storage areas, contaminating your food and causing significant damage. These pests often enter homes unnoticed, hitching rides on groceries or packaging. Once inside, they reproduce rapidly, leading to infestations that can compromise the quality of stored food. It's imperative to take preventive measures to keep these pests at bay and protect your pantry from their unwelcome presence.
What Problems Can Pantry Pests Cause?
1. Food Contamination:
They can contaminate food with their droppings, webbing, and shed skins, making it unsafe to consume. They will take over your cabinets in a short amount of time.
2. Damage to Food Packaging:
They can chew through packaging, allowing other pests to enter and further contaminate the food.
4. Nuisance:
While pantry pests typically don't pose a direct health risk, they can significantly impact the quality and safety of your food.

Pantry Pests We Service:
Indianmeal Moths/Grain Moths/Angoumois Grain Moths
These moths lay eggs in various dried food products, including flour, cereals, grains, nuts, and dried fruits. The larvae hatch and feed on the food, contaminating it with their webbing and excrement, rendering it inedible.
Sawtoothed Grain beetles
Infesting cereals, pasta, flour, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and pet food, these beetles can chew through packaging and contaminate food with their frass (excrement) and bodies. While they don't pose a direct threat to human health, they can be a nuisance and cause significant damage to food supplies.
Silverfish
Feeding on starchy materials like paper, books, cardboard, and fabric, silverfish can damage valuable books, documents, and clothing. They can also damage wallpaper and other paper products in your home. Additionally, they can contaminate food items, especially those stored in cardboard boxes or paper bags.
Flour Beetles
Infesting various food items like flour, grains, cereals, nuts, and dried fruits, flour beetles can contaminate food with their bodies, feces, and shed skins, making it unsafe for consumption. They can chew through packaging materials like paper and plastic, allowing other pests to enter and further contaminate the food.
Rice Weevils
These small, reddish-brown beetles infest stored grains and cereals. While they aren't directly harmful to humans, they can cause significant problems. They lay eggs inside grains, and the larvae hatch and feed on the kernels, contaminating the food and making it inedible.
Ants
Ants are common pests that can contaminate food and surfaces by carrying bacteria on their bodies. They are often attracted to food crumbs, spills, and other accessible sources, leading to infestations in kitchens, pantries, and other areas of the home.
Early intervention with professional pest extermination is essential to control ant populations and prevent infestations from escalating. Serving Sonoma County, Nature Science Pest Control provides effective, and eco-friendly ant removal and prevention solutions.

In addition, cockroach droppings, shed body parts, and secretions can trigger allergic reactions, including asthma attacks and skin irritations, posing a health risk to occupants. Cockroaches can also damage books, paper products, and other materials, creating both health and property concerns.
