White Bugs in My Horse Feed Bins |
|
|
I want to know about weevils. I think I have them in my horse feed bins? They are tiny white things and they move. What are they? How do I get rid of them? Are they harmful to the horses if they eat them?
Thanks, Danielle

I have them too, if it's what I have then they aren't maggots (they are worm like) these are more insect like. Weevils are also worm like. I think I'm going to take the feed back to supplier and ask them. Anybody else seen them? M

If the feed came from the supplier that way, take it back. If it is happening after you put it in your feed bins, throw it out. Do not feed it to your animals. Clean your bins and dry well before storing more food in them. Be sure your lids are put on tightly. I hope this helps.

It sounds like you might have maggots, hatched fly eggs, more prone to be in a sweet feed. Weevils are brown and crawl, check the bags of feed you have also. It is not a good idea to feed any animal insect infested feed or moldy feed. Weevils came out of the grain product when it is bagged hot or it is in bags and the weather gets warm. Hope that helps. I know this sounds gross but if cereal or any product sits too long in a pantry shelf it can hatch weevils.
