STORED PRODUCT PESTS

You should be the only one enjoying your food

Pestex offers Stored Product Pest services for both commercial and residential customers. We provide treatments when dried goods containers arrive in Trinidad & Tobago, while also treating products before they are exported, enabling the company to gain their Export’s Certificate. Pestex also provides the same preventative treatments at processing plants, warehouses, transport companies, supermarkets, groceries and stores.

Moths, Weevils & Beetles

They are sometimes known as ‘pantry bugs’ as they live in goods such as flour, cereals, rice, pasta, crackers, powdered foods and dried grains. They are very hard to spot and their eggs, being microscopic, are even harder to locate. They also contaminate more of these foods than they actually consume. These pests will usually get into your food at the warehouse, processing plant, during transportation (locally and from abroad), or in the store. Which is why it is crucial for all entities– from the processing plant to final customer – to take proactive action. These pests may not bite you, but who wants to eat and digest tiny weevils, beetles or moth eggs?
