Weevils in My Stored Food |
|
|
How the heck do I get rid of these nasty critters? I first got them last summer. From where, I have no clue. We moved and I tossed all boxed stuff out, etc. Everything seemed to be ok. This summer they are back! I just bought some boxed mac and cheese, opened it tonight...guess what?! They are in everything. I can't afford to be throwing away food! Please, someone, how do I get rid of them?

Hey, i think my horse feed bins have weevils? But they are the tiniest white things and they do move, what are they?? How do i stop from getting them and are they harmful if the horses eat them?

The first time i saw them they were in the bird food, we threw that out. Now they are in the cereal, cookies, flour, and all over the house. They are in the upstairs bathboom, the carpet, the ckitchen floor, even on the walls every once in a while. ARE THEY A TYPE OF WEEVIL?

Bay leaves crushed and sprinkled in your cupboard will get rid of them.....store all things like mac and flour in big pickle jars....place a bay leaf in the jar....you won't have bugs ...Be sure to freeze corn meal and cereals in boxes...this will kill the eggs...... Bay leaves even works for fleas on pets....crush the leaves and vaccuum them up.....each time you vaccuum from then on you will kill the flea eggs.....put them around doggies bed..... rub over dogies fur......

I hear that sprinkling sage in you cubboard will help, apparently they will stay away from sage.

Try Pantry Pest sold in garden stores or possibly can be found in department stores. Contains a female scent that attracts and kills the male moths and eventually you will get rid of the infestation.

Try putting your products in the freezer for 24-48 hrs before storing them in your cupboards. This kills any eggs that you have brought in from the store.This method has worked well for me with flour, dry cereal etc.

I either store my dry goods and flour type stuff in glass jars or I store that stuff in the refrigerator - that includes jello, pudding mix, brownie and cake mix, flour, sugar etc.

I put a bay leaf in my flour, bakings goods etc. and store them in a air tight container (or zip-lock bags). I even tape one on the outside of for good measure. I hope this helps :-)
