Drugstore Beetle
SIZE: About 1/10 to 1/8 inch (2-3 mm) COLOR: Brown DESCRIPTION: The drugstore beetle is similar to the cigarette beetle in appearance but is slightly larger, more elongate, and has distinctly striated wing covers. The last three segments of the antennae are like a saw. Its food is even more varied than that of the cigarette beetle, and it is said to feed "upon almost anything except cast iron." The drugstore beetle gained its name because it was frequently found feeding on drugs in pharmacies many years ago. They are customarily found infesting all types of dry stored food products, spices, seeds, grains and dried plant material. Drugstore beetles are known to feed on leather, wool, hair, books and drugs. The first step in control of this pantry pest is to find the source of the infestation. This means inspecting all of the dried foods in the infested cabinets or drawers. Once the infested material is found, it should be destroyed. Clean all the cabinets and drawers with a vacuum cleaner (then throw the cleaner bag away!).
