Cigarette Beetles

Cigarette beetles, also known as tobacco beetles or cigarette moths, are small, reddish-brown beetles commonly found infesting stored tobacco products, grains, spices, and dried fruits. These pests are known for their ability to penetrate packaging materials and contaminate food items. Look for adult beetles or their larvae in stored food containers, as well as signs of damage such as holes or webbing in packaging. Prompt identification and proper storage practices are crucial for preventing cigarette beetle infestations and protecting stored food supplies.
