Product Information

If you enjoy growing plants and herbs in your kitchen, there is a good chance you have spider mites. While a few crumbs on the floor from that chocolate chip cookie may not seem like a big deal, it serves as a delicious feast for an army of ants or family of mice. But some small black or brown bugs like mosquitos, ticks, bed bugs, drain flies, or common houseflies can sting, bite, or spread diseases.

The confused flour beetle ( Tribolium confusum) gets its name because it’s confused with the red flour beetle ( Tribolium castaneum). Even unopened packages can become infested because the insects are able to chew through paper, cardboard and even foil if motivated enough. Would you believe that a combination of water and ammonia is a cockroach repellent or that boric acid and fabric softener kills them? these buggs are in areas with no imediate food source, they dont mind crewling all over fabrics, glass, plastics. The small pale-colored bug has an elongated oval to tube-shaped body, six legs, and two straight antennae.

Spiders are identified by their bulbous two-segmented black or brown bodies, four pairs of legs, and six to eight eyes. Cockroaches are small household bugs with a distinctive reddish-brown, flattened oval body, six spiny legs, and a pair of characteristic feelers. To eliminate spider mites in your home and kitchen, you’ll need to quarantine the plants with spider mites. You can get rid of spiders with a little patience and the right tactics—but act quickly before they have a chance to lay their eggs! The gnats will enter into the bowl through the small holes but will be unable to get back out of the natural gnat trap.

Signs of a cockroach infestation include droppings that look like black pepper, a musty odor, and molted skins they leave behind. But minuscule bugs like ticks, fleas, pantry bugs, and bed bugs may be pear-shaped but hard to identify correctly because they are so tiny. Take soapy water or a disinfectant to wipe off the hard surfaces, including the shelves of the food storage sections.Confused flour beetles have a zigzag or “confused” crawling pattern, distinguishing them from the red flour beetles. If you suspect the problem may be serious, a reputable pest control company will help you get rid of them. It’s not an insect, but millipedes, the friendly, docile relative of the centipedes, can hurt humans when they’re threatened,” Ricci says. Adding bay leaves to the pantry is a great way to keep weevils away and they deter other pests, too. Unfortunately, the silvery metallic insects are difficult to spot because they are nocturnal pests, only coming out at night.
