Cannock Weevil Control

Weevils are a kind of insect pest. There are lots of different types of weevils, although most are stored product insects which means they typically enter houses in dried foodstuffs such as rice or cereal. Rice and maize weevils will enter homes using this method. Vine weevils are more prevalent in the garden as they feed on shrubs and other plant life and can cause substantial harm to gardens. Vine weevils can be handled using chemical treatments in the affected area, while stored product weevils are much more challenging to manage as they will quickly infest a kitchen.

Weevils can be quickly recognised as they are small beetles with snout-like heads. It is difficult to distinguish between different species of weevil, however. Experienced pest control experts can accurately 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 house and getting rid of any stored food products which may be contaminated. Insecticides can be used, although it’s vital to only use insecticides that are safe to be used around food. Weevils can breed rapidly 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.
