Wipe down countertops, stove, and cabinets with warm, soapy water. Keep food in sealed containers, including pet food that may be stored outside. Keep garbage cans covered. Take out the trash at least once a week. Do not leave water standing in the sink.
Water is the most important factor for pest survival.
Clean out cabinets. Beetles or moths found in the kitchen area may have come from food that is infested. Check foods such as cereals, rice, and grains to see if they are infested. Discard infested food. Leave the cabinets empty so the PCO has a clear treatment area.
