Ever opened a bag of rice or beans and found tiny bugs crawling inside? Those uninvited guests are weevils—and once they arrive, they don’t leave quietly. But here’s the good news: you can stop pantry pests naturally with a few simple, budget-friendly tricks.

Whether you’re stocking up for the month or prepping for the week, these home storage hacks will help keep your rice, beans, and dry goods fresh, clean, and weevil-free.

🧄 1. Use Cloves: A Natural Weevil Repellent
Cloves do more than add flavor to your cooking—they act as a natural pest deterrent. Their strong aroma drives weevils away without using chemicals.

✅ How to use:

Drop 4–5 whole cloves into each bag, jar, or storage container

Distribute evenly for full coverage

Replace every 2–3 months to keep the scent active

💡 Why it works: Weevils can’t stand the strong, spicy scent of cloves—it’s like nature’s no-entry sign.

đŸ«™ 2. Store in Airtight Containers
Weevils can chew through thin plastic bags like they’re not even there. The fix? Use airtight containers to block out moisture and pests.

✅ Smart storage tip:

Use clean, dry glass jars or food-safe plastic containers

Add a few cloves or dried chilies inside for extra protection

Always seal tightly after each use
