Extract

Two Dermestid beetles, Trogoderma granarium Everts and T. versicolor (Creutz.) have been recorded on a variety of stored products. In England, T. granarium is a serious pest only in maltings. The life-history is described. The larvae are responsible for the damage to stored products, and their hairy nature facilitates the spread of infestations on sacking and clothing.

All stages in the life-cycle are resistant to heat and dryness.
