Rotherham Weevil Control

Weevils are a kind of insect pest. There are many different types of weevils, although the majority are stored product insects meaning they usually enter into homes via dried foodstuffs such as rice or cereal. Rice and maize weevils will enter into homes using this method. Vine weevils are more widespread outdoors as they feed on shrubs and other plant life and can cause severe harm to gardens. Vine weevils can be handled using chemical treatments in the afflicted area, while stored product weevils are considerably more difficult to take care of as they can quickly infest a kitchen.

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

Pest control of weevils can be challenging. The best treatments include cleaning the entire surrounding area inside the property and getting rid of any stored products which may be contaminated. Insecticides can be used, although it is important to only use insecticides that are safe to be applied around food. Weevils can breed very quickly and lay eggs which are too small to be properly taken out of stored products, so it is often better to simply get rid of any contaminated food products.
