How to Kill Weevils in a Bag of Rice

Weevils enter bags of rice through small openings. A weevil infestation can occur in your home, or it may have happened before you even brought the bag of rice home from the store. Weevils are small and rarely noticed until they’ve reached adult size. They eat the rice and lay eggs inside the grains. If left unchecked, the bugs may destroy the entire bag of rice. An easy, safe procedure will kill weevils and protect your rice.
