Once they leave the larval "worm" stage, they become beetles that fly and have hard outer shells, making them difficult to kill in the usual "hit it with a shoe" method. If you've cleaned out your pantry and they still come back, chances are they are in your walls as well, eating the insulation. You would be smart to call a profesional exterminator. @Donna Trimble Those are mealworms.

You'd need to throw away all flour and grainy substances from your cupboards, then bleach the cupboards. I've just found a meal beetle crawling across the floor, I'm not sure it's an infestation as we gave our pet rats some meal worms a few weeks ago and some got in the carpet during cleaning time.

It seem they starts out as maggot or a meal worm form and then turn into this flying insect. They congregate in my food pantry in the kitchen and eventually start flying around the house where I usually zap them. They are not like a fly but a small flying insect. Ive noticed a lot of maggot looking cacoons all over the pantry and attached to food packages and inside any unsealed containers. From reading they dont have the same functions as a maggot or meal worm. There are simularities but no flying insect is mentioned. I dont even know if "insect" is the proper name". I have clean out the pantry totally and threw away a lot of items but they have returned. Not sure what to do. HELP! Im trying to figure out exactly what I have in my kitchen pantry.
