How to Prevent & Get Rid of Pantry Pests Naturally

Every pantry pest has its own preference, but you’re most likely to see pantry pests infesting whole grains, flour, rice, corn, beans, dried fruits, seeds, pet food, and other dried goods. In order to get rid of them or prevent them altogether, there are a few things to do on a regular basis:

Inspect your groceries. At the grocery store and before bringing them indoors, check your purchased goods for any signs of damage.
Place bay leaves in containers. Sticking a bay leaf inside canisters of dry goods like flour or rice can repel pantry pest beetles.
Securely store dry goods. To keep pests out, always store food and baking ingredients in airtight containers.
Check expiration dates. Before you use your ingredients from a year or two ago, make sure to toss any expired items.
Properly store seasonal items. Dried foliage, Indian corn, and other seasonal items should be kept in sealed containers while not in use throughout the year.
