How We Treat Rice Weevils in Captiva
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 Captiva, we also account for salt air and coastal humidity, which affect how quickly barrier products break down outdoors.
