How do you get rid of those little brown bugs in your cereal or cupboard?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

If they are little brown beetles you need to go through all items in your pantry and get rid of the infested products.The beetles are usually brought in the food already so transferring items to plastic containers is one way to make sure they are free of infestations before putting them in the pantry.Within 2 weeks after throwing away the infested items you shouldn't have any more problems.Insecticides are not necessary for these insects.This also goes for the moths that you will sometimes see in your pantry or kitchen.

Answer 2

ewwwwwwwwww.Keep your cereal in containers or in the fridge.

Answer 3

Add milk, they're cruchy!

Answer 4

Call your Orkin man. You have **** roaches. Or go to your local hardware store and purchase any of the myriad home pesticide products.

However, if you are seeing just a few, the odds are there are many more. If you are in an apartment, call your landlord and have them spray. If you own, its your choice, but the professionals do the best job.

Answer 5

We had a huge problem with those. They went away after the exterminator came.

Answer 6

If you have an infestation in the cupboear throw out all your grains, cereals, flour products. Wash out the cupboard and dry it well. Buy new stuff and don't keep anything too long.

Answer 7

Simple just keep the cereal on top of the fridge or just put them in sealed containers!

Answer 8

If they're small, they're probably not roaches but moth larva.
Take everything out of the cupboards, wash shelves & inside with hot soapy water & wipe down with bleach.
Then, keep all food in airtight plastic containers like tupperware or rubbermaid.
Good luck.

Answer 9

I am not sure you mean bugs or larve. Generally they are in flour, cereal and other dry goods in your cupboard. You bring them in when you purchase them from the store. Anything that is not in a glass or plastic container contaminates other dry goods. I suggest you put your dry goods in containers when you bring them home from the store. If you find them in your food; throw it away. You might tell your grocery provider that their goods have bugs/larve in them as you have been keeping everything in glass/plastic when you take them home. You feel as though it is a problem with the stores storage.
