How to Remove Small Insects from Kitchen Using Salt Use salt to repel small insects in the kitchen that feed on sweet things Small brown bugs in the kitchen could be a lot of different bugs. Some of the top choices are grain weevils, spider beetles, fungus gnats, rice moths, and flour beetles. Drugstore beetles target all the common foods that food beetles infest. However, they’re infamous for damaging stored medicines in pharmacies. They can also migrate from neighboring homes where they’ve established a breeding population. That’s why these beetles can be a common problem in apartment complexes.

These beetles feed on books, leather, and other stored foods such as processed foods (flour, bread) and dried botanicals such as tea and herbs.These are some of the most common food pests. However, controlling them can be as simple as removing the infested food. Booklice also multiply fast under humid conditions. Female booklice will lay 20-50 eggs on the infested grains. Identifying types of house bugs is key to getting rid of them. Also, knowing about the habits, characteristics, and habitats of common critters that invade houses can help prevent them from becoming an annoyance. The female can produce rapidly laying between 26 and 254 eggs with larvae eating inside of grain kernels.

They’re not microscopic like the grain mites. Growing anywhere between 0.5 mm – 5 mm in size, it’s easy to detect the psocids mites even when their numbers are low. Adult Indian meal moths fly in from the outdoors from the open doors and windows. Like most moths, Indian meal moths are attracted to light.Rice weevils infest the same range of foods that granary weevils do. You can find rice weevils in field crops, too. While it is pretty safe to say there are way more than 7 types of bugs traveling across your kitchen floor from time to time; however, there are seven specific insects that are most common inside a home and focus mainly on the kitchen. Grain mites spill over from the stored food jars and start to appear as thin layer of dust on the kitchen and pantry shelves. The higher the humidity and dampness in the kitchen, the more the chance there will be roaches, ants, and psocids infestation. Cigarette beetles are tiny reddish-brown beetles that grow between 2-3 mm in size. They have oval-shaped bodies with fine yellowish hairy bristles, giving them a fuzzy appearance.
