Bug Problem #849410

Asked September 11, 2023, 11:05 AM EDT

We have found several of the bugs (picture attached) in our kitchen cabinets and a few elsewhere in out house. They seem to be attracted by bagged flour and crisp bread. Maybe they came in on some of this packaging. Can you recommend that to do about them?

Expert Response

It doesn't look like a weevil exactly but it is a little hard to tell from the photo and since it is shriveled up some, but you could follow the same clean up recommendations as described on our Granary Weevil webpage. 

Let us know if you have further questions.
