PEST ID

Weevil

Remotus, the Sharp-Eyed Owl, keeps a close watch on these sneaky grain invaders.

Observation

Remotus easily spots these tiny pests. Weevils are small beetles, usually brown or black, with long snouts. They are most commonly found in stored grains and pantry items, such as rice, flour, pasta, and cereals. Remotus advises you to look for holes in grains, clumping in flour, or small, crawling insects in your pantry as signs of a weevil infestation.

Outlook

Remotus understands the nuisance these pests create. Weevils can quickly infest and ruin entire batches of stored food by laying their eggs inside grains and other dry goods. Their presence often means the food is contaminated and unfit for consumption. Remotus stresses the importance of early detection and immediate removal of infested items to prevent the spread of these pests. Treatment usually takes a few weeks, involving the disposal of infested food, thorough cleaning of pantry areas, and using insecticides if necessary.

Gateways

Remotus knows how they infiltrate. Weevils often enter homes through infested products purchased from the store. They can also find their way in through small gaps and cracks in walls or packaging. Remotus recommends inspecting food items before storage, using airtight containers to protect against infestations, and keeping pantry areas clean and dry to discourage these pests from taking hold.
