Eastbourne Weevil Control

Weevils are a kind of insect pest. There are lots of different kinds of weevils, although most are stored product insects meaning they normally enter into houses via dried foodstuffs such as rice or cereal. Rice and maize weevils will enter homes using this method. Vine weevils are more prevalent outdoors as they feed on shrubs and other plants and can cause substantial damage to gardens. Vine weevils can be controlled using chemical treatments in the damaged area, while stored product weevils are much more difficult to manage as they will easily infest a kitchen.

Weevils can be quickly recognised as they are small beetles with snout-like heads. It is harder to distinguish between different species of weevil, however. Experienced pest control experts will be able to effectively identify the weevil that is causing an infestation.

Pest control of weevils can be difficult. The most effective methods include cleaning the entire surrounding area inside the home and removing any stored products that may be contaminated. Insecticides may also be used, although it’s critical to only use insecticides that are safe to be used around food. Weevils can breed very quickly and lay eggs that are too small to be properly removed from stored products, so it is often better to simply dispose of any contaminated food products.
