What Are Rice Weevils & Pantry Insects
Rice Weevils are a common insect that is found in stored food and pantries. These pests attack food products that may not be properly stored. Having unsealed or open bags of rice can lure Weevils right into your pantry. There are different types of pantry insects that can be found in different products, such as:
– Wheat Weevils
– Red Flour Beetle
– Rice Weevil
– Grain Moth
– Bean Weevils
These insects are known for chewing through boxes and plastic bags. They are also known for laying multiple eggs per day. When an infestation is present, these insects are known to stay in a local area near the source they have found.
How To Prevent Rice Weevils & Pantry Insects
The best method to prevent pantry insects and Weevils is to store those food items in sealed hard plastic containers. By converting your storage to these sealed hard plastic containers it will prevent insects from chewing through the box or getting through the cracks of the box.
We have found this to be one of the best non-chemical methods to prevent rice weevils from infesting your pantry. Taking this effective measure will help you save money from throwing out products and wasted food that has been claimed by insects.
If stored foods are not in hard plastic containers it is important to check the food for insects before using the food to cook.
Professional Treatment For Rice Weevils & Pantry Insects
If you are experiencing a pantry insect infestation it can be a tricky to resolve and the problem does not get fixed overnight. Removing the food source(s) that is harboring the insects will have great results on solving the problem by itself.
But having a professional inspection and application combined with proper food storage will make sure these pantry insects do not return. Using the proper baits to flush out the insects from your pantry will manage the stragglers that are in the pantry that were not directly in the removed source.
