What are food-infesting pests?

Food-infesting pests or stored product pests are those insects that find their way inside the food we keep in our pantries. The adults lay their eggs on whole or processed grains; when the larvae hatch, they feed on the food source provided to them.
Some of the most common food-infesting pests that we discover in our West Chester homes and businesses include Indian meal moths, saw-toothed grain beetles, weevils, and drug store beetles.
