Getting Rid of Weevils |
|
|
Does anyone know how to get rid of weevils? Sometimes they are called cupboard ants. We must have gotten them from the grocery store and now I can't get rid of them. I have bleached the cupboards and I have tried the basil leaves in all the dry products. Finally I have resorted to throwing everything away and storing in plastic bags and containers... yet they are still here.

You should put bay leaves into your containers instead of basil. I use bay leaves and never have a problem.

FREEZE THE ITEMS. CLOSE THE DRIED GOOD BAGS/BOXES TIGHTLY OR PUT INTO AIRTIGHT CONTAINERS AND PUT INTO YOUR FREEZER, THEN WASH THE CABINETS/PANTRY DOWN WITH BLEACH WATER VERY THOROUGHLY.( MAY EVEN WANT TO SPRAY BUG SPRAY IN THEM.) WAIT A DAY OR TWO THEN WASH OUT AGAIN....
I HAVE HEARD DISCUSSION ON THIS TOPIC AND OTHERS SWEAR BY THE FREEZING AND CLEANING METHOD. FREEZING WILL KILL EGGS AND THE BUGS. BUT YOU STILL NEED TO CLEAN THE CABINETS TOO, TO BE SURE NO EGGS OR BUGS ARE IN THEM....
HOPE THIS HELPS...I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM YET, BUT HAVE BEEN READING MORE AND MORE ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THEM.
IT SEEMS BUGS OF ALL KINDS ARE BECOMING RAMPANT ALL OVER.....WIERD.
