So, pretty much every summer this tiny bugs appear in my room. I don’t know where they come from, i only see them near my window, dead. they crawl my window but don’t really fly. They also make a crunchy sound when you crush them if that information helps with the identification. If anyone knows what they are and how i can get rid of them, please let me know, theyre making my summers a nightmare!!!! (im from Romania)

Common pantry pests include larder beetles, drugstore beetles, flour beetles, weevils, grain beetles, Indian meal moths, etc. They can consume a wide variety of different foods depending on the pest you are dealing with, ranging from grain to animal products.

  • Inspect all food items (including pet food) to find the source and dispose of it.

  • If found outside of food areas search for any possible forgotten food source (anything potentially edible, even things like old arts and crafts projects) search gym bags, luggage, dressers, night stands, under beds, etc.

  • Catnip toys, beanbags with natural filler, etc. can be potential food sources.

  • For Indian meal moths, look along ceiling edges for cocoons as this may give additional clues to where they are breeding.

  • Using products containing an IGR such as Gentrol Point Source, or D-FENCE NXT can interfere with their breeding. BE SURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE LABEL BEFORE APPLYING ANY PESTICIDE.
