Grain beetles are destructive insects that infest and feed off of stored food products. The larvae will devour food as adults continue to feed and lay eggs directly onto new food sources. They can cause up to hundreds of dollars in damage, so in this video, we’ll show you how to spot grain beetles, look for their activity, treat them, and prevent future infestations from breaking out again.

Most Grain Beetles average around 2-3 millimeters in length. They’re typically reddish brown in color, or sometimes even black. Grain beetles come in a variety of species, and they’ll infest pretty much the same stored food products.

Examine all food products for any adult beetles, including pet food. Untrained eyes can falsely identify larvae and pupae as other pests, so it’s best to look for adults. As you shift items around, check along the edges of your shelves. Grain beetles are smaller than most grain products, but their dark color makes them stand out against lighter foods and white-painted pantry shelves.

Before starting treatment, you need to clear out your pantry. Start by throwing out all packaged food. That sounds excessive, but if you’ve found at least one adult beetle, odds are there were other beetles infesting packages when you weren’t looking for them. Next, vacuum the shelves and clean them with mild soap and water.

Before applying any treatment, be sure to wear your personal protective equipment, or PPE, especially before handling any chemicals. And remember, do not allow people or pets near your treatment sites until all chemicals have dried.

Start your treatment with Pyrid. Pyrid is an insecticide aerosol that delivers a quick knockdown, and it’s labeled for a wide variety of flying and crawling pests. Use this as a crack and crevice treatment to kill any bugs or eggs that are hiding or have fallen in hard to see spots.

Next, apply Novacide. Novacide is another insecticide aerosol, but this one contains an insect growth regulator, or IGR. This will disrupt the beetle’s life cycle and prevent eggs, larvae, and pupae from developing into adults. Novacide has a long-lasting residual, and will work for up to 7 months. Apply Novacide as a spot treatment along the edges of your shelves.

Finally, round out your treatment with some glue traps. We recommend Allure traps if you have flying pests like merchant or foreign grain beetles, or you can use Catchmaster 72MB glue boards for non-flying pests, like the sawtooth grain beetle.
