Structural Pest Management for Stored Product Insects

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Recent Advances in Stored Product Protection

Abstract

Stored product insects represent a diverse group of species that can infest raw grains but also can infest structures associated with the milling, processing, storage, and distribution of finished grains and grain-based products. One of the recent developments in managing these insects is documenting the extensive presence of these insects in and around milling, processing, and warehouse facilities (Semaeo et al. 2013), which represents a new awareness of the infestation potential.
