Weevils are a type of beetle that poses a significant threat to stored grain, including wheat, barley, corn, rice, and more. These pests have a voracious appetite and can cause severe damage to grain supplies if left unchecked. Their ability to reproduce rapidly makes them even more challenging to control.

A weevil infestation can lead to numerous problems for grain storage facilities and farmers alike. Some of the main dangers include:

  • Significant loss of grain quality and quantity
  • Financial losses due to damaged or unusable grain

  • Potential harm to human health if infested grain is consumed
  • Damage to reputation and business
