Red flour beetle
Confused flour beetle
Both the confused flour beetle and red flour beetle are small, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch in length, and reddish-brown in color. The primary distinguishing physical difference is the shape of their antennae: the confused flour beetle’s antennae increase gradually in size and have four clubs, while the red flour beetle’s antennae have only three. Additionally, red flour beetles have been known to fly short distances, while confused flour beetles do not.

The simplest and most effective measure is to locate the source of infestation and quickly get rid of it. Dispose of heavily infested foods in wrapped, heavy plastic bags or in sealed containers for garbage removal, or bury deep in the soil. If you detect an infestation early, disposal alone may solve the problem.
In case of large population of stored food beetles are found at food storage warehouse, we may need to use smoke generator to perform smoke fumigation.
