Weevils are a type of insect pest. There are numerous different kinds of weevils, although the majority are stored product insects meaning they tend to get into houses through dried foodstuffs such as rice or cereal. Rice and maize weevils will get into homes in this way. Vine weevils are more common outside the home as they feed on shrubs and other plant life and can cause severe harm to gardens. Vine weevils can be treated using insecticides in the damaged area, while stored product weevils are much more challenging to take care of as they will easily infest a kitchen.
Weevils can be quickly recognised as they are small beetles with snout-like heads. It is much harder to differentiate between different varieties of weevil, however. Expert pest control pros can correctly identify the weevil that is causing an infestation.
Pest control of weevils can be difficult. The most effective methods involve cleaning the entire surrounding area inside the house and eliminating any stored products which might be contaminated. Insecticides can be used, although it is vital 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 taken out of stored products, so it is often better to simply dispose of any contaminated foods.

Get Oakham pest removal
Oakham is a historic English market town in Rutland in the East Midlands of England. It is located to the west of Rutland Water, which is one of the largest man-made lakes in Europe. It is home to All Saints’ Church, founded in the 14th Century, and Oakham Castle, which has its roots in the 12th Century. Only the great hall of the castle is still noticeable, and it is a famous tourist attraction in the area.
Every Wednesday and Saturday in Oakham there is a market where a number of local goods are on sale. Every third Saturday there is a farmer’s market on Gaol Street, where local farmers sell their produce.
A notable landmark in Oakham is the Oakham Signal Box, which Airfix used as a template for all their model rail sets. Another custom that the town has is hanging horseshoes in the great hall of the castle. Every time a member of royalty or peer of the realm passed through Oakham, they had to pay a penalty in the form of a horseshoe. The horseshoes hang upside-down which is generally seen to be unlucky, but in Oakham this was to stop the Devil from resting in the hollow.
