Biscuit Beetle (Stegobium Paniceum)

Features/Biology

Biscuit Beetle live indoors, normally very close to their food source.

Problems/Risks

These beetle attack primarily cereal/grain/seed based food supplies.

Often a new infestation of biscuit beetle has occurred because the food source has been contaminated prior to arriving in your home or commercial premises. i.e. The food source contained eggs which later hatched out to create a new infestation. Cross contamination from another affected food source can be another reason for an infestation developing. In both cases the spray treatment is the same. However, it is necessary to treat and/or destroy all contaminated food sources.
