Types of Weevils

Weevils are a type of beetle known for their long snouts and destructive feeding habits, particularly in stored grains and household food products. There are thousands of species worldwide, but a few are commonly found invading homes and pantries:

1. Rice Weevil
Small and reddish-brown, rice weevils are notorious for infesting grains like rice, wheat, corn, and cereals. They can fly and often go unnoticed until food products are heavily infested.

2. Granary Weevil
Similar to rice weevils but flightless, granary weevils are typically found in stored grains and are a common problem in warehouses and pantries. They bore into kernels to lay eggs, making them difficult to detect early.

3. Maize Weevil
Larger than rice and granary weevils, maize weevils target corn, wheat, and other cereals. They’re often found in agricultural settings but can infest household food supplies as well.

4. Boll Weevil
Known for its historical impact on cotton crops in the U.S., the boll weevil feeds on cotton buds and flowers. It's less of a home-invading pest but remains significant in agriculture.

5. Vine Weevil
A common garden pest, vine weevils damage ornamental plants and houseplants. The larvae feed on roots, while adults chew leaves, often causing serious plant decline.

What’s the best way to eliminate weevils?

How Homezies Helps Get Rid of Weevils?

At Homezies, we understand that a weevil infestation can be both frustrating and damaging—especially when your food storage or plants are at risk. Our expert team uses a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to eliminate weevils and prevent them from returning:

1. Thorough Inspection
Our professionals begin by inspecting pantry shelves, food containers, and potential entry points. We also check for weevils in houseplants, if applicable, to assess the full extent of the infestation.

2. Targeted Treatment
Based on the type of weevil identified (e.g., rice, granary, or vine weevils), we apply targeted solutions. For pantry pests, this may include removal of infested goods, safe application of non-toxic treatments, and sanitation guidance. For plant-invading weevils, we use specialized soil treatments and safe insecticides.

3. Sealing & Prevention
Homezies helps seal off entry points and advises on proper food storage methods, such as airtight containers and routine pantry checks, to keep weevils from returning.

4. Ongoing Monitoring
We offer follow-up services to ensure the infestation is fully resolved and help you monitor for any future signs of activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Signs of a weevil infestation include small beetle-like bugs in your pantry, especially inside grains, rice, flour, or pasta. You may also notice fine powder or webbing in stored food products.
The most common weevils found indoors include the rice weevil, granary weevil, and maize weevil. Each targets dry food products. The vine weevil, on the other hand, is more common in houseplants and gardens.
Weevils are not directly harmful to humans as they do not bite or spread disease. However, they can contaminate food supplies, making items unfit for consumption and resulting in costly waste.
Weevils often enter homes through packaged foods purchased from stores. They can also crawl in through cracks and crevices, especially during seasonal changes when they seek shelter.
Unfortunately, any infested food should be discarded to prevent further spread. Cleaning the pantry thoroughly and transferring future dry goods to airtight containers can help prevent re-infestation.
Homezies professionals inspect infested areas, identify weevil species, recommend safe food disposal and sanitation measures, and apply targeted treatments. We also advise on prevention strategies to stop future invasions.
