Pantry Kansas City Pest Control

Pantry pests — Indian meal moths, grain beetles, flour beetles, and drugstore beetles — arrive already inside a package from the store, not from outside the house. That means the fix starts with finding every infested item, not just spraying the shelf.

These pests move between packages once established: larvae crawl out of an infested box of cereal or birdseed looking for a place to pupate, which is why a single bag of flour can turn into activity across half the pantry within a few weeks if it goes unnoticed.

We do a full pantry inspection — not just the item you first noticed activity in — set pheromone monitors to confirm when the population is actually gone, and treat cabinet cracks and corners if larvae have spread beyond the food itself. Most pantry pest calls resolve without any pesticide application at all; sometimes a thorough cleanout is the whole fix, and we'll tell you that instead of selling you a treatment you don't need.
