Flour beetles are tiny, shiny, reddish-brown beetles about 3 to 4 mm long. The red flour beetle and the confused flour beetle are the 2 you’ll find in Burnaby kitchens and restaurants.
They feed on broken or milled grain: flour, cake mixes, cereal, pasta and crackers. They can’t get into whole kernels, but once they’re in a bag of flour they spread through the pantry fast.
Pest Boss handles flour beetle control across Burnaby homes and food businesses. We find the source and treat the pantry.
Give Pest Boss a call if you’re seeing any of these:
- Small reddish beetles in flour, cereal or baking mixes
- Beetles on pantry shelves or in cupboard corners
- A greyish tint or bad smell in flour
