Cigarette beetles will infest tobacco and many different types of dried food products; such as, rice, cornmeal, peanuts, ginger, nutmeg, raisins, paprika, and many other products. They will not only infest these foods, but they will also lay their eggs inside the products. The adults will usually wander around your kitchen or home. Making nests in new places. If you find these insects in your food it is very important to first dispose of the product. Then you should check in any thing else to make sure that they have not infested others. After you do this, it is time to resort to an insecticide of your choice because the adults could be hiding in other areas of your kitchen and home. They could be in any crack or crevice in a cabinet or drawer. It is very important to treat any area that you feel they could be living so that no other foods in your home or business are infested.
There are several options that Pest Products Online has to offer when it comes to exterminating cigarette beetles. There are options in liquids, aerosols, and dusts.
Liquids: Liquids can be best when trying to exterminate beetles because the liquid can easily be sprayed into the cracks and crevices that they could be laying their eggs in. Liquids can be sprayed almost anywhere; such as baseboards, window sills, cabinets and into any crack or crevice. Liquid insecticide is safe to be sprayed at most places as well; such as, schools, hotels, restaurants, food manufacturing areas and of course your home. The liquids we offer also leave a residual effect to prevent any more beetles from entering your home or business in the near future. Most of these liquids are safe to be sprayed around children and pets, but to be safe do not let either come into contact with the liquid until it has dried completely.
Aerosols: Many do it yourself beetle products come in aerosol form because of the ease and convenience of use. Aerosols work deep into the cracks and crevices that beetles may be hiding in. Aerosols can be used as a quick direct contact method or to spray a whole room quickly and effectively. Some of the aerosol products that we offer also leave a residual effect. Be sure that you spray the aerosol on any area that they could possibly be nesting in; such as; cabinets, drawers, and in any crack or crevice. The aerosol foam and powder can be a great choice for spraying in the cracks and crevices because they will fill and leave a residue around the holes.
Dusts: Dusts are another great option when eliminating the cigarette beetle, especially around food areas. Dusts are generally safe for use in residential areas, commercial establishments; such as restaurants and hotels/motels, or sensitive facilities; such as schools or hospitals. Dusts also have the benefit of leaving no fumes and little to no odor. Most of these dusts have the convenience of a residual effect, so that you do not have to keep treating the same area repeatedly. Dusts should be spread in any crack and crevice as well as cabinets and drawers as long as the product states that it is safe. Pest Products Online offers dust spreaders to make your job easier and safer.
