The pests of pantry or stored products are so many that it is not possible to discuss them in a short time. The most common stored product insects that are commonly found in warehouses, processing plants, mills, retails stores and houses. These insects are mostly found in dried products such as grains, milled cereal products, spices, dried fruits, herbs etc. Most stored product insects originate from the tropical and subtropical areas. As a result, they live and reproduce under warm, humid conditions.
Infestation of stored product insects can come from infested commodities in the warehouse, from cracks and crevices, or insects that flies into buildings from the outside (neighbouring warehouses or mills).
