Hove Weevil Control

Weevils are a kind of insect pest. There are several different species of weevils, although most are stored product insects which means they frequently get into houses through dried foodstuffs such as rice or cereal. Rice and maize weevils will enter homes using this method. Vine weevils are more prevalent outside the home as they feed on shrubs and other plant life and can cause serious damage to gardens. Vine weevils can be handled using insecticides in the damaged area, while stored product weevils are considerably more difficult to control as they will quickly infest a kitchen.

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

Pest control of weevils can be challenging. The best methods include cleaning the entire surrounding area inside the house and getting rid of any stored food products that could be contaminated. Insecticides may also be used, although it’s important to only use insecticides that are safe to be applied around food. Weevils can breed rapidly and lay eggs that are too small to be properly removed from stored products, so it is often more effective to simply dispose of any contaminated food products.
