Weevils are a type of insect pest. There are various different types of weevils, although the majority are stored product insects which means they tend to get into homes in dried foodstuffs such as rice or cereal. Rice and maize weevils will get into homes using this method. Vine weevils are more widespread outside the home as they feed on shrubs and other plants and can cause substantial harm to gardens. Vine weevils can be controlled using insecticides in the affected area, while stored product weevils are a lot more challenging to treat as they can easily infest a kitchen.
Weevils can be quickly recognised as they are small beetles with snout-like heads. It is much harder to distinguish between different species of weevil, however. Skilled pest control experts can correctly identify the weevil that is causing an infestation.
Pest control of weevils can be complicated. The most effective methods include cleaning the entire surrounding area inside the house and removing any stored products which may be contaminated. Insecticides may also 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 removed from stored products, so it is often more effective to simply dispose of any contaminated food products.
