What’s the Best Trap Design for Catching Pantry Weevils? My Flour is INFESTED

Hey everyone!

I just found a swarm of pantry weevils in my whole-grain flour, and now I’m on a warpath. I tried the classic ​​apple cider vinegar trap​​ (jar + soap), but it only caught a few. Then I read about ​​bay leaves​​ repelling them—no luck. I’m losing my mind!

  • ​DIY Attempts​​: Sticky tape with honey (messy), freezing infested flour (temporary).
  • ​Store-Bought​​: pantry traps caught moths but ignored weevils.

​What’s the BEST trap design?​​ I need something non-toxic (I have kids) and effective. Do light traps work? Pheromones? Or is sealing EVERYTHING in glass the only solution?

Weevils hate ​​bay leaves and cinnamon sticks​! I tape them inside cabinet doors. Traps? Try ​​sticky tape​​ with a wheat germ lure.

Pheromone traps work, but place them outside cabinets, they’ll lure weevils away from food. @NatureLover64, cinnamon’s good, but eggs still hatch.

I put DIY traps (apple cider vinegar) in ​​mason jars with tiny holes​ so kids can’t spill.

Vacuum-sealed containers + freezing flour for 48hrs kills eggs. Traps are just a band-aid!

Diatomaceous earth​​ on cabinet shelves! Non-toxic and shreds weevils.

I found eggs by sifting flour onto a ​​black plate​, they’re tiny and cream-colored.
