Weevils
There are several species of weevils commonly found in cupboards and pantries. They are small, dark colored, and about 1/10 inch long. They can be found in almost anything we store from spices to cereal products, dried fruit, flour, crackers, etc. Weevils usually start with something we bought and then did not use. Six months is the best rule of thumb for keeping most items. Control starts with thorough cleaning. Dispose of ALL suspected items. Send us a picture or feel free to bring a specimen to our store for identification and advice on the right treatment.
