      Little beetles in the kitchen

      Good evening,

      I’ve been finding some little beetles in the kitchen for a few days now (see the attached photo).

      They seem to have a good instinct, when they feel threatened or feel my presence, they act dead ☺️

      Do you have any idea what species they are, what attracts them and how could I get rid of them without killing them?

      Thank you, have a nice evening!

      Hello, the insects in the pictures seem to be pests specific to dry foods (flour, cereals, etc.), also called tobacco beetles. Therefore, it is recommended to carefully inspect all foods and throw the infested ones away, and those that are not infested, need to be sealed. It is advisable to first vacuum the room, insisting on the areas where they are present, as well as on those where they can hide. Subsequently, it is recommended to use adhesive traps such as Tobaguard, 10 pieces, which will help to capture the remaining pests, as well as to monitor the degree of infestation.
      If the degree of infestation is high, it is recommended to apply a spray insecticide such as K-Othrine SC 7.5 Flow, 25 ml, in a dose of 25 ml / 750 ml water. With this solution, the surfaces that these insects cross will be sprayed. At the time of application, as well as in the next 4-6 hours, children and pets must stay away from the treated area. After this period, the treated area will be well aired.
