East Sussex Weevil Control

Weevils are a kind of insect pest. There are several different types of weevils, although the majority are stored product insects which means they frequently get into homes on dried foodstuffs such as rice or cereal. Rice and maize weevils will enter into homes in this manner. Vine weevils are more prevalent outside as they feed on shrubs and other plants and can cause substantial harm to gardens. Vine weevils can be controlled using chemical treatments in the afflicted area, while stored product weevils are much more challenging to manage as they can easily infest a kitchen.

Weevils can be quickly recognised as they are small beetles with snout-like heads. It is more difficult to distinguish between different varieties of weevil, however. Expert pest control pros will be able to accurately identify the weevil that is creating an infestation.

Pest control of weevils can be difficult. The best methods require cleaning the entire surrounding area inside the house and getting rid of any stored food products that may be contaminated. Insecticides may also be used, although it is crucial to only use insecticides that are safe to be employed around food. Weevils can breed rapidly and lay eggs that are too small to be properly removed from stored products, so it is often better to simply get rid of any contaminated foods.
