Lesser Grain Borer

The Lesser Grain Borer is a small but powerful grain infesting beetle. The adult feeds on whole or cracked grain, and the larvae develop inside kernels, destroying internal contents. Both the adults and their larvae have powerful jaws used to riddle grain, creating large, irregularly shaped holes, and rendering grain to dust. Grain infested with the Lesser Grain Borer has a characteristic sweet and slightly pungent odor. They are prominent in wheat, but commonly infest rice, barley and all other cereal grains. The Lesser Grain Borer is also a strong flier and is capable of rapidly spreading infestations.

Confused Flour Beetle

Commonly known as bran bugs, Confused Flour Beetles primarily feed on grain dust, broken kernels and the milled grains in flour and cereal. Confused Flour Beetles are true to their name and are most abundant and damaging to the flour industry. Badly infested flour is characterized by sharp odor and moldy flavor. They have also been found in barley, corn, millet, oats, rice, rye and wheat. Adults are very active, and can be found both on the surface and deep within contaminated food material.

Saw Toothed Grain Beetle

The Saw-toothed Grain Beetle is a common stored food product pest. The adults and their larvae are external feeders, with the adults capable of penetrating most types of packaging. These insects have running legs much like cockroaches and can penetrate even the most “tightly sealed” packaging. These insects have been found to infest cereals, cornmeal, cornstarch, popcorn, rice, dried fruits, rolled oats, bran, macaroni and other foodstuffs making them unsalable and unpalatable. These insects are known for contaminating more food than they can consume.

Indian Meal Moth

The Indian Meal Moth is considered particularly troublesome to grain storage because of the damage inflicted by its larvae. The larvae feed on the grain’s germ decreasing germination. They also produce webbing that causes grain to stick together preventing proper aeration. Beyond grains, larvae also feed on cereals and a wide variety of foods ranging from dried fruit to seed to cornmeal and more. Larval infestations are usually top feeders located 4 to 6 inches from some type of surface such as unsealed doors or aeration fan openings.
