A few drops of pennyroyal oil in water and used on a cloth to wipe the inside of your food pantry will stop weavils, or the little flying pantry month do not use this if you are pregnant . I have used this method and it worked .

Please be aware that the borax will work, but is toxic to children & pets. Not sure how this applies to using it in food storage areas. Also read on here that it's good to repel fleas & bugs if applied near the baseboards in the home. Again, be careful, it's toxic to children & pets!
