How We Treat Rice Weevils in Cape Coral
Discard all infested and suspect grain products. Deep-clean pantry shelves, including vacuum treatment of cracks and crevices. Apply a residual crack-and-crevice spray and leave pheromone traps to catch remaining adults. Switch to airtight glass or hard plastic containers to prevent recurrence. In Cape Coral, we also account for the area's high ambient moisture from the canal system, which requires extended perimeter protection intervals.
