It is primarily the larder beetle larva that causes damage, as it eats its way through stored goods and pet food.

It has a light-colored transverse band on the front part of its wing covers. By the time the first beetle appears, the larvae have often been feeding unnoticed for many months. A larder beetle larva is brown, densely hairy, and grows larger than the beetle itself. Empty larval skins, which remain after every molt, are also typical. If you find such skins in drawers, under baseboards, or behind furniture, it is worth taking a closer look. The larvae primarily feed on fat, pet food, and dry goods.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhere do larder beetles in the home come from and when do they appear?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLarder beetles in the home are often brought in with purchased supplies or pet food. In spring and summer, the adult beetles also fly in through open windows in search of places to lay their eggs. Their larvae retreat to areas that are often overlooked during cleaning, such as cracks and behind cabinets. They do not need damp corners; a forgotten pack of dry food is enough.

These tiny predators actively search cracks and shelves for eggs, larvae, and pupae. This allows them to stop reproduction rather than just catching individual beetles. This is how you can control larder beetles without using poison in your kitchen or cupboard. A tube of 30 insects is enough for about 15 m². The warehouse pirates require room temperatures from 20 °C and must not be used in combination with insecticides or diatomaceous earth.

Warehouse pirates against storage beetles therefore work by disrupting their developmental cycle. They are harmless to humans and pets and do not touch food or textiles.
