Warehouse Beetles are commonly known as the pantry pest. It can be easily mistaken as any other beetle due to its size and appearance. The larva prefers to feed on barley, rice, and wheat but will feed on anything including cereals, cocoa, cookies, fish meal, nuts, flour, chips, beans and much more. It is commonly found in warehouses, grain processing plants and residential food storing areas. It can cause potential threat with large infestations as the infested food can contain the molten skin of the larvae which can lead to intestinal irritation.
