This All Beetle Trap Kit includes complete three-part All Beetle traps and multi-species beetle and moth attractants in a pheromone gel to monitor for the presence of food-infesting insects.

The Rice Weevil larvae do the greatest amount of damage as they The lesser grain borer is a primary pest of whole grains, especially corn and cassava root.

The adults chew small holes in the kernel and then lay several eggs in the grain or in the grain mass.

Damage is seldom noticed until exit holes appear and adults are seen roaming the grain mass.

Rice and maize weevil (Sitophilus oryzae and zeamais) can cause major damage to stored grains and processed foods. Their movement through food can spread and encourage mold germination and their excrement leaves behind uric acid that can cause rancidity.

Following the theme this month, this video shows a time-lapse GIF of 100 rice weevils in pasta over a 6-month period at 82F (28C) and at 60% relative humidity. It is important to monitor for rice and maize weevil activity to help prevent populations from damaging products and causing customer complaints.

This Rice Weevil kit combines the power of Insects Limited’s signature Bullet™ Lures for Rice Weevil, Sitophilus oryzae, with the innovation of the three-part All Beetle Trap™

The Rice Weevil larvae do the greatest amount of damage as they eat the inside of grains and seeds, leaving only a husk behind. The adults also have strong chewing mouthparts and will cause damage as well. Detection can be difficult in grains that have recently had eggs laid in them.

After some time, the damage becomes evident as the grains become so light and hollow, that you can easily break them into dust with your fingertips. In heavy infestations, chewing can sometimes be heard.

This guide breaks down the differences between webbing clothes moths and casemaking clothes moths. Clothes moths of both species feed on wool, fur, feathers, mohair, animal hair and other animal fibers. They can infest museums, homes, and businesses.

The Casemaking Clothes Moth Kit (IL-220-10) features the Insect Limited’s signature pheromone Bullet Lures™ that attract casemaking clothes moths with a controlled release of pheromone over 3 months.

Casemaking clothes moth larvae damage woolens, silks, furs and materials made with hair and feathers. The primary means of detection of casemaking clothes moth is the presence of silken cases that contain larvae.

Granular frass, the size of ground pepper, can be found in, on, and under fabric, furs, taxidermy mounts, hanging clothes in closets, rugs, carpets, and upholstered furniture.

Silverfish commonly cause damage to books, archives and paper as well as a wide range of other materials. They can be a nightmare to librarians, archivists, museum professionals and to people in their homes.

Captures spiders and silverfish plus many other crawling insects. Spiders and silverfish can be found in areas with high humidity levels, such as bathrooms, basements, attics, laundry rooms, and beneath sinks.

Silverfish and firebrats are placed in the order Thysanura which is considered one of the most primitive of the living insect orders.

There are four species considered common in North America; the Firebrat (Thermobia domestica), the Common Silverfish (Lepisma saccharina), the Gray or Longtailed Silverfish (Ctenolepisma longicaudata), and the Four-Lined Silverfish (Ctenolepisma quadriseriata).

Black carpet beetles can be a serious pest of wool carpets and rugs but can also be a pest of dried food goods. Pheromone monitors can assist in locating the feeding sources of this pest so control can be achieved. Keys to identifying the larvae and adults as well as an explanation of their life history and feeding habits are covered in this video by entomologist Patrick Kelley.

Black Carpet Beetle kits feature Insect Limited’s signature pheromone Bullet Lures™ that attract Black Carpet Beetle adult males with a controlled release of pheromone over a 3-month period.

Black Carpet Beetles are commonly found in processed foods such as, spices, biscuits, meal, four, seeds, and dog food, but can also attack horn, untreated hides, wool, hair, silk, and dead insects. The black carpet beetle is a common household pest.

Only larvae cause damage to plant or animal products or textiles. The presence of cast skins is usually apparent. Holes and frayed fibers in textiles also may be present.

The Food Moth kit features Insect Limited’s signature pheromone Bullet Lures™ that attract multiple species of food moths with a controlled release of pheromone over 3 months.

Fruit flies progress from egg, through several larval instars, to pupa and then to adult in as little as 10 days. Males initiate courtship rituals after picking up short-range pheromones from females. Adult fruit flies can live up to 40 days.
