Flour Weevil

Description

Under the name “flour weevil,” many people refer to stored-product pests that attack dry goods such as flour, cereals, pasta, cookies, and pet food.

Risks and problems

Food contamination from debris, dust, and the presence of insects.
Off odors or flavors in stored products.
Persistent infestations if hidden sources remain.

Signs of infestation

Small insects on shelves or near packages.
Dusty residue in cabinet corners.
Repeated activity even after throwing away some products, which may indicate a hidden source.

Prevention

Store flours and cereals in airtight containers.
Do not mix new product with old product.
Clean cabinets regularly, especially corners and hinges.
Check pet food carefully because it is a common source.
