1. General information about Berlin beetles

The bread beetle (Stegobium paniceum) is one of the most well-known stored product pests . It attacks not only bread, as its name suggests, but also many other dried foods such as pasta, rice, flour, spices, tea, and animal feed. Even books, paper, and dry wood can be affected.

The beetles are 2–3 mm long, brown in color, and capable of flying. The main problem, however, is the larvae , which bore into food and burrow into it. An infestation can render entire stores unusable.

2. Detect bread beetle infestation – typical signs

An infestation with bread beetles is indicated by the following signs:

  • Small round holes in packaging or food
  • Larvae or webs in flour, spices or pasta
  • Hollowed-out food or crumbled supplies
  • Flying beetles in pantries, kitchens or shelves
  • Infestation also possible on old books, paper or wooden objects

Since bread beetles reproduce quickly, quick action is necessary.

Because the bread beetle reproduces rapidly, quick action is crucial to protect supplies.
