Turkey is considered among the major cereal and raw material producing countries in the world. Grain is often stored for a period of time in Turkey. Several pests such as rodents, insects and mites attack stored grain. The control of storage pests is very important and is carried out, generally, by chemical treatments. In 1998, 297 tonnes of pesticides were used for controlling storage pests.
