Lytham St Annes Weevil Control

Weevils are a kind of insect pest. There are various different kinds of weevils, although the majority are stored product insects which means they usually enter houses through dried foodstuffs such as rice or cereal. Rice and maize weevils will enter homes in this way. Vine weevils are more prevalent outdoors as they feed on shrubs and other plants and can cause serious damage to gardens. Vine weevils can be controlled using insecticides in the afflicted area, while stored product weevils are a lot more challenging to treat as they will quickly infest a kitchen.

Weevils can be quickly identified as they are small beetles with snout-like heads. It is more challenging to differentiate between different species of weevil, however. Expert pest control professionals will be able to precisely identify the weevil that is creating an infestation.

Pest control of weevils can be difficult. The most effective treatments require cleaning the entire surrounding area inside the home and the removal of any stored products that may be contaminated. Insecticides can be used, although it’s crucial to only use insecticides that are safe to be employed around food. Weevils can breed very quickly and lay eggs that are too small to be properly taken out of stored products, so it is often better to simply dispose of any contaminated food products.
