How to Get Rid of Flour Beetles
In current flour beetle infestations, discard suspected dried goods products in sealed plastic bags in outdoor receptacles. Toss all out-of-date dried goods or those you haven’t used in a while. As some homeowners bake or prepare special dishes only for special events and holiday gatherings, dried goods can sit for months and attract flour beetles brought in from infested products. Thoroughly clean and sanitize your pantry area, paying particular attention to cracks and crevices.
