  • Trogoderma inclusum

    larger cabinet beetle

    Trogoderma inclusum, commonly known as the larger cabinet beetle, is a stored product pest in the family Dermestidae. It has a broad global distribution spanning Africa, Europe, Northern Asia, North America, Oceania, and Southern Asia. Research indicates it is more resistant to long-term mating delays than its congener Trogoderma variabile, maintaining higher egg production and progeny emergence as females age. The species is a target for integrated pest management strategies including mating disruption and insecticide-incorporated netting.
