🐞 Say Goodbye to Weevils: 5 Natural Hacks to Protect Your Rice and Beans

Want to prevent future infestations? Use the freezer trick to stop eggs before they hatch.

✅ Do this before storing:

• Place rice or beans in a ziplock bag

• Freeze for 48 hours

• Let them return to room temperature before transferring to a container

🧊 A short freeze = long-term protection.

🔁 5. First In, First Out: Rotate Your Pantry

Weevils love old, forgotten grains. Keep things moving to avoid giving them a home.

✅ Pantry tips:

• Label jars with storage dates

• Use older items before opening new ones

• Don’t buy more than you can finish in 2–3 months

🌀 A tidy, rotating pantry = less waste, fewer pests.

⚙️ Why These Natural Tricks Actually Work

Weevils are tiny—but they follow patterns. They dislike:

• Strong smells like cloves and chili

• Low-moisture, sealed environments

• Extreme temperatures like cold or direct sunlight

By using these simple, natural strategies, you’re creating a kitchen environment that weevils can’t thrive in.
