Grain storage is a critical part of preventing food crises and ensuring global food security. The stored grain is susceptible to infestation by borer pests, which not only degrade grain quality but also pose safety risks such as fungal contamination. Consequently, the control of borer pests represents a highly practical research direction in the food field. This review summarizes advances in stored-grain pest control technologies, covering physical, chemical, biological, and green methods. It highlights the advantages of cold plasma for degrading chemical residues via oxidative stress and nanocarriers for stabilizing pesticides, while exploring the development prospects of smart devices in precision control. Significant references are provided for developing new, highly efficient pest control technologies and systems to guarantee grain quality and safety.
