Pill beetles in your house or basement? ✅ Fight pill beetles naturally with GREEN GUARDIA storage wasps – safe, effective, and residue-free against stored product pests.

1. General information about ball beetles

The pill beetle (Gibbium psylloides) is a small, round beetle with a reddish-brown color, measuring only 2–3 mm. It is a stored product pest and is found in basements, pantries, storage rooms, and homes . Pill beetles feed on dried foods such as flour, pasta, grain, or animal feed, but can also infest paper, textiles, or insulation materials.

Their inconspicuousness is problematic: Pill beetles are nocturnal, hide in cracks and crevices during the day, and can multiply unnoticed for years. In inhabited spaces, they are therefore considered hygiene pests that can render supplies unusable.

2. Detecting a ball beetle infestation – typical signs

Typical signs of infestation are:

  • Small, round beetles (2–3 mm), shiny reddish-brown
  • Frequent occurrence in basements, pantries or storage rooms
  • Damage to flour, pasta, cereals, dry food
  • Beetles run around on walls or floors at night
  • Visible beetle clusters in poorly sealed storage containers
