Romford 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 tend to enter homes in dried foodstuffs such as rice or cereal. Rice and maize weevils will enter into homes this way. Vine weevils are more common in the garden as they feed on shrubs and other plant life and can cause severe damage to gardens. Vine weevils can be controlled using insecticides in the affected area, while stored product weevils are a great deal more challenging to manage as they can 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 species of weevil, however. Expert pest control professionals will be able to properly identify the weevil that is creating an infestation.

Pest control of weevils can be challenging. The most effective treatments involve cleaning the entire surrounding area inside the house and the removal of any stored food products which 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 which are too small to be properly taken out of stored products, so it is often more effective to simply get rid of any contaminated food products.
