Can you recommend a insecticide to control weavils.  They are breeding in my food pantry.  I have removed every item, cleaned the shelves, but they continue to return.  Please advise.  Thank you.
 

RESPONSE:
You have to remove (and then throw away) all infested food items.  Store all remaining food items (including dog food) in the refrigerator or in sealed glass containers.  I would then vacumn the cupboards and then clean them with 20 Mule team borax - about a cup per gallon of hot water.  Be sure you do not contaminate food, dishes and/or utensils with the borax. You could also clean the cupboards with Kleen Kill Enzyme Cleaner. Steve.

Followup question:

Thank you so very much.  After finishing with scrubbing the shelves, may I return the food products to them?

Response:
In sealed containers.  Steve
