A question about a beetle in pancake flour - -- I believe that they talking about a grain or flour beetle. Type the word grain beetle or flour beetle on Google and a pix will come up. Correct ID is important and where the bug comes from.
Grain and flour beetles are found in flour, dog or cat food or any high protein mixes. The boxes are infested in huge store houses back east and are shipped all over the country-- to mainly places like any big box store. People then discover the beetles. So the beetles may be in the already infested flour OR in the area that you store the flour, dog food, pizza mix, cereal, and/or flour in your apartment or house. Everyone gets this problem.
Solution: place flour products in the freezer for two days and clean the area that had the flour very well.
