How to Kill Weevils Organically

Weevils are known as pantry pests and thrive on stored foods, grains and seeds. The pests ruin food and continue to multiply if you do not kill them. Weevils do not sting or bite and they cannot compromise the structure of a home. However, they are a nuisance and need to be eradicated to protect your food supply. Since the pests live in the kitchen, use organic methods to control them.
