What are cigarette and drugstore beetles?
Cigarette and drugstore beetles are among the most common types of beetles that infest stored products. They can't handle the cold, so they aren't just attracted to the foods in your pantry but also to the temperature control inside your home. This means they are highly motivated to get in not only because of food but also because of the temperate indoor climate of your house.
-
Are cigarette and drugstore beetles dangerous?
Cigarette drugstore beetles are not considered dangerous. They are a nuisance pest because they do not carry diseases like cockroaches do, and they cannot sting or bite. However, they can destroy the foods in your pantry, and they can contaminate both foodstuffs and surfaces with their droppings, exoskeletons, and other bodily excretions. So while you don't have to worry about getting a horrible disease from them or suffering thousands of dollars in damage, you will likely have to throw out a lot of the things in your pantry if you wind up with these beetles.
-
Why do I have a cigarette and drugstore beetle problem?
Cigarette and drugstore beetles are attracted to two main things in your home: its warmth and its pantry goodies. These beetles eat a wide variety of different pantry items, including:
- Seeds
- Grains
- Nuts
- Beans
- Spices
- Cornmeal
- Dried fruits and vegetables
- Flour
This means there is a huge range of attractants that can draw in these beetles, and the most important thing you can do to keep them out of your home is to ensure they cannot access the things they eat, and that's part of what makes home pest control for these beetles so hard.
