How Can We Know About a Weevil Infestation?
Early detection of weevil infestation prevents the extensive damage. Below are some signs that you might be having a weevil infestation:
Sighting Adult Weevils: The adult weevils are small and rod-shaped insects with the habit of hiding in food storage areas. If you see them on floors moving in your pantry or on shelves, then it is a clear indication of infestation.
Holes in Food: Weevils feed on grains, flour, rice, pasta, nuts, and seeds. When you see little holes on packaging or food and you see small brown beetles inside food containers, then weevils infest.
Eggs and Larvae: Weevil larvae are usually inside food packages, where they burrow and eat. If you see little white larvae inside your pantry, the chances of an infestation being present are high.
Powdery Residue: Weevils cause a fine dust or powder inside food packages while eating food. If you have powdery substance inside your food or storage, weevils are to blame.
In case you exhibit any of the above symptoms, you must take prompt action to avoid spreading the infestation.
How to Rectify Weevil Infestations: Effective Solutions
Ows Repair has an effective system to eliminate weevils and subsequent infestations:
Inspection and Identification: We inspect beforehand. Our experts will look around your pantry, your food storage facilities, and even behind your cabinets to find where the infestation began and what kind of weevil you are dealing with. We determine the severity of the infestation so that we may treat it accordingly.
Targeted Pest Control Treatments: Upon identifying the infestation, we use various treatments to remedy the problem:
Food Disposal: Weevils-infected foodstuff should be disposed of earliest to avoid the spread of infestation. We can help you identify and safely dispose of infected food.
Insecticides: We use strong, safe insecticides that destroy adult weevils and larvae. They are applied on crevices, cracks, and food-storage areas to destroy visible and hidden insects.
Cleaning and Vacuuming: Deep cleaning your pantry and food storage area will be able to eliminate any weevils left behind, larvae, and any remaining debris. Vacuuming will also destroy any larvae of weevils in areas that are out of reach.
Sealing Weevil Entrances: We will search your pantry for cracks and holes which the weevils are entering and seal them up to prevent new pests.
Preventive Steps: Prevention is the only way to ensure that weevils never come back. After we have ended the infestation at hand, we do everything in our capability to protect your home from further invasion:
Storage: Storing food in air-tight containers is advisable to keep weevils out of your grains and dry foods.
Daily Checking of the Pantry: Checking your pantry on a daily basis for signs of pests will enable you to catch any new infestation early.
Cleanliness: It is very important that your pantry and food storage shelves stay clean. We recommend wiping down shelves, turning the food over, and wiping up spills or crumbs.
