Stored Product Insects in Homes
Protect Your Pantry with Marvel Pest Control Ltd

​

Stored Product Insects (SPIs) aren’t just a commercial problem — they can invade homes too, infesting cupboards, contaminating food, and causing stress for families. At Marvel Pest Control Ltd, we provide safe, effective solutions for tackling SPI infestations in domestic properties across the UK.

What Are Stored Product Insects?

SPIs are small insects that thrive in dried food products stored in your kitchen or pantry. Common culprits include:

• Indian Meal Moths – often found in cereal, rice, and pet food.

• Flour Beetles – common in flour, pasta, and cake mixes.

• Saw-Toothed Grain Beetles – found in dried fruits, grains, and nuts.

• Weevils – tiny beetles often found in rice, grains, and even sealed packaging.

Once inside your home, these pests can multiply rapidly and contaminate large areas of stored food.

​

How Do They Get Into Your Home?

SPIs often enter homes through:

• Infested supermarket products

• Unsealed food containers

• Cracks in pantry shelving

• Open windows or ventilation points

They can also lay eggs inside packaging, meaning the infestation can begin before you even open the food.

​

Signs of an SPI Infestation

• Small beetles or moths in cupboards or food containers

• Webbing inside flour or cereal packaging

• Strange smells or clumping in dry food

• Larvae or pupae in or around kitchen shelves
