Other Pests
Mites and birds have been cited as causes of
damage to stored grains. As regards mites, Haines
and Pranata (1982) recorded Caloglyphus spp.,
Tyrophagus putrescentiae, and Blattisocius spp.
from stored grains. The real significance of bird
infestation in terms of actual damage remains
uncertain, but there is no doubt that large numbers
of small birds, particularly Passer montanus
(house sparrow), have been found to be a problem
in inadequately screened rice storages.
