Sunshine Coast Pantry Pest Control

Ever opened your cereal box and found it’s already been taste-tested by something with six legs and no table manners? That’s not just gross—it’s a pantry pest problem. Weevils, biscuit beetles, and pantry moths love dry goods, and your kitchen? It’s their idea of an all-you-can-eat buffet (minus the invite).


At Shark Pest Control on the Sunshine Coast, we specialise in discreet, effective pantry pest control that kicks the bugs out without turning your kitchen into a construction site. No more tossing out unopened flour or wondering if your oats are meant to be moving. Here's what we offer:


  • Safe for kitchens & food storage
  • Targets breeding zones, not just surfaces
  • Fast, minimal-disruption treatments


Pantry pests might be tiny, but they multiply like nobody’s business—and once they’re in, they’re about as welcome as ants at a picnic. We’ll help you evict them, clean up the mess, and stop them from pulling a return visit. Call 0427 616 282 today for a free quote.

Your Pests. Our Problem.

Granola Shouldn’t Wiggle

They don’t bite, buzz, or chase you around the room—but pantry pests might just be the rudest of the lot. They burrow into your rice, frolic through your cereal, and leave you wondering if that “crunch” is really part of the granola. One pantry moth today can mean a full-blown infestation tomorrow—and good luck unseeing the wriggly guests once you’ve spotted them.


We offer food-safe, pet-friendly treatments that go after adult insects, larvae, and eggs all in one go. Our approach includes inspecting storage spaces (yes, even behind the spice rack), offering tips on sealing up your goods like a pro, and applying targeted treatments that won’t mess with your food safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are pantry pests and how do they get in?

    Pantry pests are insects like weevils, grain beetles, biscuit beetles, and pantry moths that infest stored dry goods. They’re often brought in unknowingly via packaged foods, especially flour, rice, grains, and nuts. Some pests can chew through cardboard and plastic to get to food. Once inside, they lay eggs and multiply rapidly, spreading across the pantry within days. Poor sealing, humid conditions, and open containers only make things worse.

  • What foods do pantry pests target?

    Pantry pests are drawn to dry, starchy food sources such as flour, rice, oats, cereal, pasta, nuts, spices, and even pet food. Anything stored in loosely sealed bags or thin packaging is fair game. Pantry moths, for instance, love to lay eggs in flour and grains, while weevils can chew through cereal boxes like they’re on a mission. If it’s dry and edible, it’s at risk.

  • Are pantry pests dangerous to eat?

    Technically, eating pantry pests won’t usually harm you—but let’s be real, nobody wants protein with legs in their porridge. Pantry pests like weevils or moth larvae aren’t toxic, but their presence can signal contamination, spoilage, or hygiene issues. Over time, they can also lead to mould, bacteria growth, or allergic reactions from droppings and skin particles. It’s best to bin contaminated items and get the pantry treated professionally.
