Weevils are a type of insect pest. There are several different types of weevils, although most are stored product insects meaning they often get into homes via dried foodstuffs such as rice or cereal. Rice and maize weevils will enter into homes using this method. Vine weevils are more prevalent outside the home as they feed on shrubs and other plant life and can cause significant damage to gardens. Vine weevils can be treated using chemical treatments in the damaged area, while stored product weevils are a lot more difficult to manage as they can easily infest a kitchen.
Weevils can be quickly identified as they are small beetles with snout-like heads. It is more difficult to distinguish between different species of weevil, however. Expert pest control specialists can effectively identify the weevil that is causing an infestation.
Pest control of weevils can be complicated. The best methods include cleaning the entire surrounding area inside the property and the removal of any stored products that could be contaminated. Insecticides can be used, although it is important to only use insecticides that are safe to be applied around food. Weevils can breed very quickly and lay eggs which are too small to be properly removed from stored products, so it is often more effective to simply get rid of any contaminated food products.

Get Baldock pest removal
Baldock is a historic market town within the local government district of North Hertfordshire in the ceremonial county of Hertfordshire, England where the River Ivel rises. It lies 33 miles (53 kilometres) north of London, and boasts a population of approximately 9900. Nearby towns are Royston towards the northeast, Letchworth and Hitchin to the southwest and Stevenage to the south. The contemporary layout of the town and many buildings in the centre date from the sixteenth century, with the oldest dating from the fourteenth century. The town thrived where the old Great North Road and the Icknield Way crossed. In spite of the building of the A1(M) motorway in 1963, which bypassed the town, and which was referred to as the Baldock Bypass for some years, it was still a significant traffic bottleneck till March 2006, when a new bypass removed the A505 road, a part of the old Icknield Way to the east of Baldock. Since the 16th century, Baldock has been a centre for malting, subsequently becoming a regional brewing centre with at least 3 substantial brewers still trading in the area at the end of the 19th century, in spite of a drop in demand for the varieties of beer produced locally. The 1881 Census records around thirty drinking establishments. During the early 20th century, a large number of pubs remained open, several of which were sustained by the adjacent and significantly larger town of Letchworth, which had no alcohol retailers before 1958, and had only two pubs and 1 hotel bar till the mid-1990s. Its larger population had for many years visited both Baldock and Hitchin for refreshment.
