CIGARETTE BEETLES
Cigarette Beetles are a type of beetle that infests and damages food sources such as flour, grains, and dried fruit.
They can be found all over the world and in many different climates. Cigarette beetles often eat those foods because they contain high amounts of starch and sugar which they can digest much easier than other insects. They also like to live in places with high humidity like near insecticide contaminated rice and flour where they feed on the protein found there.

Behavior of Cigarette Carpet Beetles
The Cigarette Beetle has a very unique way of protecting itself from predators. When attacked, the beetle releases a chemical that alerts other beetles in the vicinity to do the same and together they produce a foul-smelling gas that is lethal to ants, roaches, and many other insects.
Cigarette Beetles are not dangerous to humans but can be very hazardous to your home. Cigarette Beetles are known for infesting and damaging many of your food sources in the home.
