Pantry Pests in Arkansas
Moths in the cabinet and beetles in the flour usually start with one infested package.
Stored product pests ride home in dry goods. Pull everything out, inspect seams and folds, and discard anything with webbing, larvae, or live insects. Rodents and roaches can also target pantry food, so look for droppings and chewed packaging too.
- House Mouse
Mouse droppings in a pantry or repeated scratching behind cabinets need a source-and-entry investigation, not just a trap beside the last sighting. House mice can live entirely inside an Arkansas home when food and shelter are available.
