cigarette bugs in house and drugstore beetles How to Get Rid of

What is the Life Cycle of Lasioderma serricorne (Cigarette Beetle)

I received a container of ground cayenne peppers with a surprise far greater than the capsaicin kick

This means a drugstore beetle infestation in a business can cost business owners money

Showed up on time too

Whether the product is a fine powder like ground cayenne peppers or large clumps like pet food or breakfast cereal, it will all get converted into sawdust-like frass (= excrement) in the end

On a final note, we discussed this infestation during our BYGL Zoom Inservice this morning and Pam Bennett (OSU Extension, Clark County) noted that finding cigarette beetles in the ground cayenne peppers should give pause to the idea that capsaicin (the "hot" in hot peppers) is a good insecticide
