Bugs in Dry Fruits, Nuts and Dates: How to Prevent Them

Dry fruits are rich and sweet, and pantry moths and beetles love them.

Drugstore and cigarette beetles and moths infest spices, chilli and dry masalas.

Bruchid beetles lay eggs on pulses, and larvae feed inside. They are not poisonous, but infested pulses are unhygienic and nutritionally degraded.

Silky webbing and small moths flying near the kitchen may be pantry moths.

Flour beetles come in packaged flour or fly in, and thrive in warm, humid kitchens. They make flour smell musty and turn it greyish.

Weevils lay eggs inside grains, and larvae develop within them, so infestations can start before you buy.

Weevils, beetles and moths turn up in kitchens everywhere. Knowing them makes control easier.

Books attract silverfish, booklice, cockroaches and mould. A steady routine protects them.

A musty smell in a cupboard usually means dampness, and sometimes pests.

Many cupboard pests love damp air, so moisture control is a strong defence.

Wardrobes can host moths, silverfish, beetles and mould. A regular checklist helps.

Dust mites are microscopic and live in bedding, feeding on skin flakes. They are a common cause of indoor allergies.
