[edit] WEEVILS

My wife does not cook very often with flower so she keeps it in a plastic or glass jar yet every time she wants to use it, months after she bought the flower it has tiny weevils and she has to dump it. How do they ever get in there? the jars are well sealed by the lids. Do the flower comes with weevils eggs in it? How to prevent this from happening? Thanks!

[edit] weevils in our house

I don't have a flour problem with weevils - it's a house problem. They are in our house, everywhere. How do I get rid of these things?

[edit] Qualifier

I think the word "some" should be added to the beginning of the sentence: Weevils are destructive to crops.

With 60,000 species, there are probably a lot of weevils that never bother a soul.

One could look into this.

Perhaps we could list some of the specific weevil pests, like root weevils or cotton boll weevils?--Mr Fink 04:53, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move?

Why was this moved from Weevil? Virtually all the incoming links to that page are for the beetles. 213.249.235.86 13:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

You're right: this should never have been moved. The beetles are clearly the primary meaning of the word "weevil". I'll put it back. --Stemonitis 13:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
