These insects are known as SPI (Stored Product Insects). They only survive and come from the store. I believe that everyone that stores grain has a very low level of these insects. So low that in normal situations they are not detected and your usual yearly processes of cleaning your store, treating your store, cooling your grain, and out loading your grain yearly are all factors that keep these insects numbers to levels that are not a problem because they are so low that you cannot detect them. If something changes for example you carry grain over for a season or you don't cool your grain then these insects can get a foot hold and numbers increase to levels that can be detected and this now becomes a problem.
