How to Control Pests in the Kitchen
Our kitchens contain number of stored food items that serve as welcoming habitats for many insect pests. Commonly these pests are known as Kitchen Pest. These include cockroaches, rats, ants and grain larvae, beetles and moths. Hence these pests are capable of infesting and destroying a variety of food.
