In the storage and distribution of tobacco, food, pharmaceuticals, and other commodities, there is one pest that is small in size but highly destructive: the cigarette beetle.
Cigarette Beetle (Lasioderma serricorne)
Meet the Cigarette Beetle: The Invisible Killer in Storage Systems
The cigarette beetle (Lasioderma serricorne), also known as the cigarette drugstore beetle or red round beetle, belongs to the family Ptinidae (Anobiidae), Coleoptera.
It completes 2–3 generations per year in northern China and 4–8 generations in southern China.
As one of the most important and widespread stored-product pests globally, it often becomes well-established before detection in warehouses or production facilities, resulting in high costs and great difficulty in control.

Why Choose Pheromone-Based Monitoring & Control for Cigarette Beetles?
Traditional control methods (e.g., fumigation, spraying) may offer fast knockdown, but they also present significant drawbacks.
In contrast, cigarette beetle sex pheromone lures have become the industry’s preferred solution.
