When it comes to textile pests, few are as persistent and destructive as the Casemaking Clothes Moth (Tinea pellionella). This small yet damaging insect is notorious for feeding on wool, silk, fur, feathers, and upholstery, often going undetected until significant damage has been done. Unlike pantry pests, these moths do not infest food products - rather, they target keratin-rich materials found in clothing, carpets, taxidermy, and antique furnishings.

The red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) may be small, but its impact on stored products can be significant. Found worldwide, this tiny pest is a common invader of grain storage facilities, processing plants, and even household pantries.

Insects Limited, an insect pheromone company based in Westfield, Ind., recently made three key changes within its leadership team. According to the company, the changes were made to help further drive its mission of protecting food and cherished belongings worldwide and reflect its commitment to innovation, operational excellence and strategic growth.

The Phorid Fly is a common pest in homes, restaurants, bars, industrial kitchens, and even restrooms because this insect feeds and thrives in the organic material (gunk) that builds in pipes, drains, and food sources such as fruits and vegetables.
